Some good points - I’d say it is easier to wear at least one camera and shoot handheld. Move easily and quietly through the ceremony in a clockwise position and grab content at various focal lengths and distances.
I think I talk about this towards the end of the video. I constantly roam during the ceremony and make adjustments as the sun goes in and out. Constant monitoring :)
Very informative! Do you have any tips for people who shoot on one camera only ? I've thought about renting but as I'm just starting out and not charging a lot, renting a similar level camera to my BMPCC4K would take a large chunk out of my pay :(
Hey Nathaniel! Great question. I think one of the people attending this was also only shooting on one camera at the time. I think my biggest suggestion would be finding a second camera, even a very cheap one, that can serve as a safety angle to cut to when you're using the black magic to get people walking down the aisle, reaction shots, and moving around to capture different angles during the ceremony. Not sure how compatible they are in post but the Panasonic G7 shoots in 4k and you can pick one of those up for around $300 (sometimes less). Definitely worth grabbing a second camera of some kind to start showing future couples that you provide coverage to ensure you don't miss moments :)
Man your passion is palpable. Your clients are very fortunate. Thank you for this very awesome vid 🙌🏾
Damn I want more! Great walk through!

this is gold!
Realized I'm underutilizing the wider angle on the groomsmen side! Thanks Andrew!
Awesome video man!
Great video
Great stuff Andrew!
A lot of the ceremonies you're showing are outside. How do you manage exposure on all cameras?
