These are super great. How long do you you shoot for engagement shoot, how many images do you give them and what would someone charge for a shoot like this?
I rarely comment but wow this video is A1! From the beginning with the funny clip of the reality of what happens in shoots, the live view of your camera screen, tips you gave throughout the video such as ways to keep your clients engaged and feeling comfortable and not to mention, raw BTS footage.Your channel seriously helps upcoming photographers get a feel on what to expect and how to build a better brand. I for one, really appreciate your commitment to openness and transparency in your photography work.Keep up the great work you are doing fantastic.
The photos are amazing! I’m still a begginer and my first ever enagagement photoshoot is in November, and this gave me hope that maybe my photos could be nice too. Thank you
I love your works and not to forget, your way or how you communicate with or to them.. You are indeed a great photographer not just because of your great photography skills but also because of your good personality. Keep it up!
Another banger. Love the live view in add-in. I noticed your moving the focus point vs a back button hold and focus. Do you do the same for weddings when the scene pace is faster?
Thank you John for your effort to show us such beautiful , helpful and entertaining videos. I like your channel so damn much and love to see more content from you!
I just had my pre nup shoot last 2 weeks ago and your vids helped me a lot! Will shot a full wedding this coming 7th next month! Got your full day flow in hand❤️ thanks a lot man!
@@jbivphotography will have one last location to shoot on 1st of May. Really glad that I found your channel like a month before we shoot haha. Thank you so much! Can't wait to see the full day wedding bts!😍❤️
I've been considering trading in my 23 f2 for a while now for the f1.4 but every time I watch your videos it makes me want to stay with it. I'm sure I can't go wrong either way. Really enjoy your videos man keep 'em coming.
I know exactly how you feel. I’ve had a love hate relationship with the 23 f2 for a long time now. It seems like it might be a bit soft at the edges. Other than that however I’m very happy with it. I did just order the new 23 1.4 so we’ll see how that lens is.
This was good! I shot an engagement session with a couple recently and thought the images were good, but seeing this video I see I could have changed it up a bit more. Thanks man! Keep em coming!
Hey John, thanks for this video!!! One quick question - how do you go about asking your couples if you can make BTS RUclips videos of them? Is it part of your contract for everyone or do you ask them individually? Thanks for always making killer content!
I really love your work but I can't look at that when you pose couple in the forest area and tree grows from their heads. I did the same mistake couple times but every photographer need to control his own scene and don't let trees to grow from peoples heads :). I really like how you pose them and get natural reaction. At the end I can say that I'm big fan of your presets and in near future i will invest in them because your presets are sick. Stay positive and have a nice day
John, question... I've been told not to cut photo, as to feet, dresses, etc. After seeing your videos, I'm going to start cutting them! Ha! The shots look, somehow, much better. Why???
This was one single shoot and I had them change clothes during the session. Generally we’ll find a Starbucks or something they can hop into real quick.
@@jbivphotography Sorry It was early and I hadn't finished my coffee. Its one of those things my eye went to when I was watching the video. You caught it shortly after I ran my mouth. I like your work and have picked up some tips I have incorporated into my couple shots. Keep up the good work and sorry if I sounded like a jerk. Didn't mean for it to come off that way and yes you are right, you get into the thick of it and small details can bite you. I have my couples put their things in my camera bag and then drive off with their keys and phone so they can't call me after the shoot.
@@jbivphotography I responded to your request for assistance on Tomayas FB page. I teach in MD but would have been willing to come hang out. I sent you a message in messenger as well.
Absolutely great video! Loving all the explanations and advice. I can tell you’ve put heaps of time and effort into this and I hope more people see and appreciate your work!
Thank you so much! Also thank you for watching. Hopefully people will continue to find the channel. But it’s good to hear that folks are enjoying the content.
Always enjoy your BTS stuff! Thanks for putting this one together. small side note: one of my pet peeves is when the groom comes with his phone/wallet in his pocket and it's visible 🤦♂️. When I first started out I didn't catch it until I'm culling but now my eyes go right to it at the start of the session. If that's the case, I just take it from them and put it in my shoulder bag.
I agree with that pet peeve. Even at the start of the session I missed him having huge phone bulge but later on you hear me tell him to move it. I gotta get better about catching it right at the beginning. But it's hands down the most annoying thing.
Dude I discovered your channel yesterday and have been BINGING your videos! Your content is so awesome man, I’m doing my first wedding shoot in a few weeks and I felt pretty confident in my ability to take great portraits but I wanted to look around for any cool videos on the subject .. and I’m not disappointed, super dope man 🤙🏼
Awesome!! I'm really happy I've been able to share enough knowledge to help you feel comfortable taking wedding photos. Thanks for watching the content as well. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
@@jbivphotography the knowledge is insane, thank you for it! Able to incorporate a fresh work flow into my style of shooting after learning from you. Big up!
Bro the way you just give away a lot of your tricks and techniques is so admirable, thank you for all your teachings, one question though, do you know if that enlargement focus spot you threw on min 20:14 in available in Sony cameras? Thanks and happy new years eve!
17:12 I have one question John : why you set white ballance on 7100K? you intend to let couple not "look too much yellow" ? I am curious about that, thank you.
Who's ready for engagement season?!
🙋🏽♂️
Me!!!!
Me!!!😊😊
im definitely getting the natural feels preset pack
These are super great. How long do you you shoot for engagement shoot, how many images do you give them and what would someone charge for a shoot like this?
This is a great session. The right angles and emotion always brings out the best in a client. Excellent work.
It really was such an awesome session. They’re a great couple as well. I can’t wait for their wedding.
Great video John, to be honest I’m impressed on how you managed the hard light on this session. The highlights might be blown out but not look bad
Keep up the behind the scenes! I loved that shot of the panarama at the end 🤩
Awesome! Will do!!
I LOVE how you're not afraid to cut the subjects off for the ring! I was so scared to do that but you get some amazing shots that way! Love it!
This guy's insanely good at weddings..wow

Best birthday gift, getting some dope content from such a legend. Keep up the great work man!
Happy birthday!
Man you are the man posing people is my biggest challenge and that 50mm is a beast
I really appreciate that! Something that I'm always trying to work on. Still perfecting the craft.
Thanks john for your advices, you're a great guy.
I appreciate that!
I love these videos. They help me so much with posing and interacting with my clients. Thank you
I’m doing my first wedding for my sister and I had no clue what to do until I binge watched a ton of your videos! Thank you for the great content !
Awesome! I'm glad the content has been helpful!
Have one next week also. Same XT3 I use. This guy masters natural Light

@@AlliNW0nderland. it went well. I got some amazing photos for her and it was a fun day.
I started shooting because of you. Thanks JB
Awesome!! Glad I could inspire you!
Great video John
Dude this as super cool to see some BTS work. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
These are so much work to put together but when they're done they're always super fun. Thanks for watching!
Super helpful video John, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes Bro!! This is one of my Spots to shoot Couples and Families. You nailed it. And gave me some ideas as well.
Nice! Glad I did the area justice.
Another banger.
Love the live view in add-in.
I noticed your moving the focus point vs a back button hold and focus.
Do you do the same for weddings when the scene pace is faster?
Beautiful bts
Thanks so much! Also, thank you for watching.
Thank you John for your effort to show us such beautiful , helpful and entertaining videos. I like your channel so damn much and love to see more content from you!

haha so funny on the opening. You're not the only one lol.
Gosh I hate when something blocks a good shot. 😩
This was great to see BTS thanks!
Thanks a bunch! More coming this year!
Great content as always!..
Much appreciated!
Sooooo good!!!
Thanks!
Wow! You're really great. I'm a fan.
Thank you! 😃

Awesome! Glad this helped out a bit.
Love this BTS! Would love to hear how you’re doing your COVID protocol stuff. Like your mask of choice for when we can’t keep space and all that!
I just love your work! Just awesome.
Hey John, thanks for this video!!! One quick question - how do you go about asking your couples if you can make BTS RUclips videos of them? Is it part of your contract for everyone or do you ask them individually?
Thanks for always making killer content!
awesome work
Thanks a lot!
Lmaooo I knew I recognized that alleyway from the intro. Hope you enjoyed my hometown!
My favorite videos 👌
Love it!!! Thanks for making these videos! Can you do a video on how you price your engagement sessions?
Love your channel!! Very laid back and fun content!! Your work is amazing 💙 Hopefully one day I can be a photographer just like you !💪🏼💙
I appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoy the content! Thanks for watching.
This was so dope! You gotta do a workshop in the RDU!
Bro I really want to. Might have to plan that out for the next couple of months!
I would pay to attend in a split second!
@@vonnab18 Absolutely! Even if it’s just something as simple as a photo walk/meet and greet/networking type of event, that would be so dope!
@@vonnab18 i would pay as well! Set it up John :-)
Awesome Job! Thanks for the hard work putting out the example. This helps me out a lot!
You’re welcome! Thanks for taking a moment to watch. I hope you learned a little something from it.
@@jbivphotography I certainly did. More like "A Ton"! Lol
More behind the scenes.. 🔥
Awesome! I'll keep them coming.
Great Great video. You're video should be a go to tutorial on engagement photoshoot
Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed it.
I'd love to know what bag you have attached to your harness! I love it.
That's the HoldFast Gear Sightseer. My hands down favorite bag. bit.ly/2VJHoql
Lmao that truck would be just my luck!!!
LOL..that intro with the truck😂
The literal moment I was going to take the shot and that truck comes rolling on through. 🙃
Amazing last photo, with multiple photo after you apply in photoshop?
I really love your work but I can't look at that when you pose couple in the forest area and tree grows from their heads. I did the same mistake couple times but every photographer need to control his own scene and don't let trees to grow from peoples heads :). I really like how you pose them and get natural reaction. At the end I can say that I'm big fan of your presets and in near future i will invest in them because your presets are sick. Stay positive and have a nice day
I felt the pain at the first ten seconds 💀😂 Lol
Getting ready for a dope shot and that truck just decides to take the spot 😩😩
very nice!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I actually just finished this couple's wedding.
John, question... I've been told not to cut photo, as to feet, dresses, etc. After seeing your videos, I'm going to start cutting them! Ha! The shots look, somehow, much better. Why???
A great video. I would love if you could make a video explaining how you make the gifs with burst photos. Greetings from Peru
Wow just stumbled on this vid. This is absolutely gold 👌👌 will you be doing more like this ?
I do plan on doing more. I have a couple other ones on the channel and I have a couple of wedding days as well that you should totally check out.
Thanks John! I love your work!
What aperture are you using with 23mm F2? The lens produces soft images wide open or at least on my copy.
I generally shoot it wide open. I RARELY stop down.
i'm looking at you to gain courage to change my zoom lenses with primes :)))) ( after almost 12 years of zoom shooting)...
When you are in AF-S do you used the shutter button or AF-ON to focus (on the button of your choice) ?
Whats brand of ur camera leather strap dear thank u
Hi, I love your job, where did you buy your "Barnes" for your cameras and bag?
Here's a video on my bag by holdfast: ruclips.net/video/6TSbIpCvqeY/видео.html. I have the Money Maker strap.
So for your engagement session. How many pics do you usually turn over for your final product to the couple?
My couples generally come away with anywhere from 50-100 photos.
bravo
Bro, I shot there recently and you literally shot at all the locations I shot at lol 😆 great mind think a like right 😉 great work!
Awesome! Great minds really do think alike.
DUDE! I’ve used these same spots. I didn’t know you were local!
I'm not. That was actually my first time in the area but it's BEAUTIFUL! I hope to do a session there again.
@@jbivphotography old town is FULL of great photo spots. Glad you had a chance to come shoot here!
very helpful as always 👌 Do you use Spot Af most of the time without Face Detect?
thanks for this bro. Are you planning on doing any classes?
Eventually. I want to do an in person workshop. Gotta get to planning it.
@@jbivphotography Awesome. You plan it...Im there.
Where these two shoots or did you have them change clothes in the middle of one shoot?
This was one single shoot and I had them change clothes during the session. Generally we’ll find a Starbucks or something they can hop into real quick.
@@jbivphotography Yeah that's a good idea. More variety.
You are good
Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you enjoyed everything.
I'm inspired by you John Branch IV Photography
That’s awesome. I’m really glad I can inspire others.
BTW, where could we get your 'Exposure Presents' ？😂😂😂
Honestly I just need to go ahead and release them. I've been kind of slacking on that.
awww phone in the pocket looks so bad......
It’s really horrible. I’m mad I missed it for the first second of the photoshoot. We all make small mistakes.
@@jbivphotography yeah, and it's no t easy to clean in Ps, anyway, nice pictures after all 👏👏👏👏
Can you repeat the game name? Mind mel?
It's called Mind Meld
@@jbivphotography Oh thnx, I appreciate a lot your response.
His phone and wallet are in his pockets, gotta notice the details!
Yep. I messed up. We all do it sometimes. Good reminder that even folks who do this for a living all the time will miss the small things sometimes.
@@jbivphotography Sorry It was early and I hadn't finished my coffee. Its one of those things my eye went to when I was watching the video. You caught it shortly after I ran my mouth.

He has his phone in his pocket :(
I wish I could have had time to catch up while you were in town. @imagesbyerictaylor on IG.
That would have been hype. I want to start doing more meetups or something when I'm in different areas.
@@jbivphotography I responded to your request for assistance on Tomayas FB page. I teach in MD but would have been willing to come hang out. I sent you a message in messenger as well.
I need that bag bro...help me out?
Thank you so much for sharing the BTS with us! They really help me improve my photography! ♡
You're welcome. I hope this session was helpful.
Watching this behind the scenes is the best for me to learn. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
John, I love these BTS videos that you put out. I feel like I learn so much from these videos. Thank you!
I love watching these behind the scenes videos to know how to talk to couples and what to do with them throughout the day! Really helpful
Absolutely great video! Loving all the explanations and advice. I can tell you’ve put heaps of time and effort into this and I hope more people see and appreciate your work!

Thanks so much! Yeah there's always that one single dislike 😂
@@jbivphotography can I ask a question, does Photo Mechanic work on iPads???
I’m so glad you caught the cellphone in the pocket. Messed up so many of my pictures.
What type of camera strap are you using? love that ability to have your bag attached. Thank you for your videos.
What are the bag and straps that he uses called again?
How long does your engagement shoot typically last?
I was wondering when it was only going to be that 50mm.
superb thankful to see how a colleague works
The bar (line) is zone? Do you shoot in zone in all of your shots?
Bro, where you get the camera strap/ bag?
Where you get that camera strap and bag?
How do you turn photos into a gif?
This was a beautiful shoot bro! You are a beast!
Thanks a bunch. Glad you enjoyed the video.
What lens is that 50 f/1.0 ? its amazing!
