Thank you so much for this content. It really gives me a big help being a blogger, because some of my friends invite's me to be their photographer on their friends wedding also. I get laugh on their invitations because am not really a photographer, but i'm trying to learn how to get a good shots. And I must thank you for that, because you give the best idea that could really helps me shows the best camera shots. I hope can I do this shots awesome on thursday and saturday for my friends wedding day using my Canon 3000D sponsored by my tita. Thank you so much for your very nice techniques. I am your new subscriber a Filipino from the Philippines.
Well, it isn’t giving it away for free. Every time someone clicks on this video, he earns something thru the advertisements you see before and during the video.
@@stevek46 Yeah but what exactly are you paying him to get his little secrets??? There are hundreds and thousands of people in this field but they do not reveal a single thing. They don't teach you for FREE. So whenever someone does this, please try to be a bit more kind. Appreciate the efforts they put in to create this 100 min long worthy piece of content for you.
This is still the best way to gain knowledge on wedding photography, experiencing it as I were an assistant! Thanks for creating such a detailed video man! Stay safe!
Man your channel is 🔥 1 hour and 20 minutes of detailed wedding photography tips….unlike everyone else you actually showed us how to do things your way, by filming yourself at the wedding, thank you
I’ve watched numerous “behind the scenes” wedding videos… this is probably the best one I’ve watched! Learned a ton. You gained a new follower for sure! Thanks.
This was SO incredibly helpful, I’m shooting my first wedding this weekend and feel way less overwhelmed and nervous. Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing!!
This has to be one of the greatest gifts you could ever give to your community! Thank you so much. What a talent you are in photography and making this video
Grandma killed it! I shoot weddings and MY GOD, you try to set something up, put everything in it and ... someone comes along, you have one split second to make that shot and they kill it (or just about it). I know the feeling ... But I laughed my ass off when I saw grandma ready to tackle that guest who pulled her back! Sweet ... Memories. You did well! I enjoyed your video!
Hey John, I have my first ever wedding photoshoot tomorrow! I am playing your behind the scenes videos and advice all over again! When I started watching your youtube behind the scenes I never thought I would one day actually shoot a wedding! Thank you John! God bless you and your family abundantly!
I've been doing high-end wedding films for over a decade, and have decided to scale up and offer photo services. I landed on this video looking to polish up my detail, posing skills and flash technicals. I have to say, you are sharing so much for nothing more than YT clicks, the wealth of information here (even for a seasoned luxury vendor) is extremely valuable. Add to that, the end deliverables are top notch. Thanks for all that you've shared, i'll be watching more.
I really appreciate that. Especially from another pro in the industry. Thank you for watching and I hope to continue bringing this much value in the future!
As a amateur/intermediate photographer I am amazed by all the experience you’ve given me thus far. Weddings are definitely nuanced, complicated, and stressful but you handle so much of it like the professional you are. I’d love to have a mentor doing the same thing and learning by their side like you. You are a blessing to us all, 🙏🏽
This was such a great video to watch, loved all your shots and the 2nd photographers shots. The editing was on point! Usually I would get bored and skip forward but I watched the entire video just amazed. 1:19:13 Grandma wasn't happy lool
This was executed so well and confirmed my thoughts and questions about wedding photography. Best part is you are 100% NOT annoying like so many (including the music), you're chill, explaining things simple step-by-step. Cant' thank you enough!
Man, youre doing the lords work. I wished we had had someone who paid this much attention at our wedding. We literally have 3 useable photos from our wedding and it was like pulling teeth to even get those. You have some killer shots and having a team there makes it sooooo much better. The service youre providing is top tier man.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 I'm sorry to hear about your experience-every couple deserves beautiful wedding memories. That's why I put my heart into every shot.
I hired a photographer that can’t take good pictures and can’t edit. Very disappointed! Wasted of my time and money so I decided to become a photographer. I am a very detailed person and love this video very much!!! Thank you.
Yoooo John you be making me tear up as though I’m the one getting married I’m having the emotions through your photography! Enjoyed the whole vid and even took notes for my futur weddings! I’m getting your presets as well. Good job 👏🏽
Awesome! I'm glad you're able to feel the emotion in the photos. That's my main goal. Also I'm glad that there were a bunch of tips and things that you can learn from. Do amazing at your weddings!
I admire your work (photos). Photos are beautiful. Makes ones feel like they are at the wedding. I love how you prepare the bride and the groom during your photo shoot. Have you ever thought about becoming a photographer coach? I would love you to be my photographer coach.
I am going to watch this several times because you inspired me SO much. Your clean colors, emotion, and elegance captured is utterly fantastic. Thank you for sharing this. I am a Canon girl, but you have me googling Fuji and what they are all about!
It's nice to see years of experience luring people in exactly the same way. While watching this video shot in a completely different country, it was as if I was watching a copy of myself. Same order, same redirects, same preferences from start to finish. Excellent job.
The quality of this video (meaning presentation, detail of tips, clarity of the info, order, etc.) is the best I've watched. Amazing job at capturing your shots but also with teaching. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this.
I honestly cried when she was getting ready.. this is first video I've seen of you and you are FLAWLESS... you make me feel so inspired and you sound so in control and relaxed!
grandma at the end LOL nice content thank you, it is very interesting to see how the traditions in weddings are similar, but very different from my place (Italy)
This is absolutely incredible to watch your process. I would love to shoot weddings some day and watching someone so talented do such great work is really inspiring.
This is an absolute game changer for me. Everything clicked. Everything you do during that day, when you do it, and how you do it and where you place your second shooter is all intentional. This has been the best behind the scenes video I have seen and I've seen quite a few - many from other very well known photographers in the industry. I felt like you just gave a free cheat sheet to success for the photographer and how to make it a great experience for the client. Anyone who watches this will be a better wedding photographer and will make the wedding photography industry better overall. Thanks so much John.
This content was so awesome and was really like a mentor session, John, thank you for making this awesome content, you're a brilliant photographer and an absolute plug for doing this! 👌👌🔥🔥
I'm an avid Fuji-Hater, but you just showed me that it doesn't matter what camera is in your hand. I love this video!!! Thank you for the great content. #Subscribed
badhabit same. And nothing matters once you shoot raw. Guess some just hate the “jpeg” because of some snobbish “raw only” mentality. I once delivered a paid set with jpegs only. Was booked again because they liked it. Classic Chrome ftw.
Man, your behind the scenes full day shoot videos are absolutely priceless! So much feedback, info, details about light, posing, settings, direction, time and people management - I am not shooting weddings at all myself, but I am pretty sure I've watched ALL of your videos on the matter! So much knowledge, it's crazy! Thank you, sir!
Wow! I’ve always wanted to try weddings. I’ve been so nervous to do so. I’ve even turned down family and friends because of the stress. I’ve learned so much from this video. Great work and what a great behind the scenes from start to finish. Awesome!
I've watched HUNDREDS of wedding photography videos, and MAN are you good! Makes me reconsider using full frame when I see what you are able to achieve with an APSC... You are incredibly talented!!!
One of the most underrated photography videos on youtube. When I started out I paid hundreds for tutorial videos that just don't stand up to this content. I also really want that holdfast setup!! Thank you, John, for this.
my cousin's just call me to be the photographer of their wedding.. i automatically search this video of yours and review everything after a long time of rest from photography... hopefully i will not miss the best and must shots... i am really loving fujifilm now.. thank you for this john.. you are really a blessing to us photographers.. wishing you all the best.
thirdeyesameuel So this is you’re mentor. I watch some of your videos and now I want to buy the rf 28-70. Now I can learn from the mentor from these videos, I’ma subscribe to both channels 😀
OMG.. this was the best video on photography I have seen. I don’t even know how my camera works yet but I could not stop watching this video. This was very informative and now I’m going to sign up with your recommended classes. Thank you so much.
this is so helpful! I've been trying to get into wedding videography as a second shooter, but have only shot one wedding (as a photographer), this is so vital!
The effort you put into this is crazy! I learned so much! Thank you! So many gems. This shouldn’t have even been free! Can’t say enough how awesome this video was! From showing live footage of the action, angles, the equipment you used, tip and tricks, and the final results of it all.... AMAZING! 🔥🔥 new subbie for sure!
Outstanding! One of the best photography videos on RUclips. The standard of the images and the fact you managed to film so much so well too is incredible! I bet that took weeks to edit tho! Wow. Amazing vid, even if I wasn’t a wedding tog I’d have enjoyed this 👏🏻😊📷🏴
This video is epic man... I realized how much my own wedding photos were missing in my own wedding!!! Great content and I appreciate your videos as I begin my journey in photography : )
John you are incredibly talented and your content is absolute gold. I honestly cried multiple times. You do such an amazing job of capturing emotion, and have a really creative eye! What a beautiful couple too ❤
I just have to say, your pics are ridiculous!!!! You capture everything from the angles you use to expressions on their faces. Your body of work is REALLY good. Just a question, is there a reason why you didn't use flash during the ceremony???
Thanks for the kind words. So for the ceremony I could have used flash at least when they were walking out. Since at that point they were backlit. The rest of it the lighting in the area was just perfect for a nice almost "creamy" look to the photos. So I think that worked out well. But I just decided not to use flash because I knew I would be fine without it.
Learned a WHOLE lot more than I already knew. I have done about 7 or 8 weddings in the 4 years of doing photography, and although I have done some of the things you were saying to do, I have still listened to your other tips and advice. Amazing shots and thanks for the tips and advice. I will remember to use them the next time I get hired for a wedding. God bless, brother!! Congrats to the happy couple.
Thanks for sharing this awesome and incredibly detailed content! I have my first wedding as a photographer coming up in January and this has been incredibly helpful to prepare for it. On a logistical note, about how many XT3 batteries are you using per camera during a 10 hour day? I plan to buy more before the shoot and wanted to hear your experience with battery life on the XT3 (if the info was in the video and I missed it, sorry about that). Thanks!
Bro same I'm trying to get some experience. I think my main thing is that I'm scared of messing it up, like this is a very important moment and I'm just scared to not being able to get the shots I would like
That is by far the best BTS wedding photography videos I've seen!! Love all the information and explanations on how you shot photos and modelled the couple and wedding party.
I know you posted this about 3 years ago, so you may or may not see my comment. I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I have watched it probably a dozen times or more and then just some sections. I shot my first wedding yesterday and I put into practice alot of your advice, tips and instructions. As a result shooting my first wedding was a success. After about an hour being there, I started to really get into it and it was awesome. Some hiccups here and there but I overcame them without panicking. And I did indeed use the magmod system throughout the reception. I learned alot shooting this wedding and gained some much needed experience. Now I have to edit the photos and there is alot of them. I scanned through a bunch of them and all in all they look pretty good, some better than others. I will do better next time. And yes I had alot of fun during the reception party as well, I was not a fly on the wall. Thank you again for your videos and the help and knowledge you have provided me. You are an amazing wedding photographer.
im starting photography i cant believe this content is for free, im learning so much since i want to do some wedding in a future to do some extra money and get better equipment, thank u so much you did a fantastic job here!
This is such an amazing experience. You are giving us a first person view, explaining choices and best ways to approach all different scenarios. Thank you for sharing such an informative video!
Im a amateur photographer from Montreal Canada and ur work is amazing . I wish I could do 50% things you doing right know . I wish you more success and health . God bless you
My man just gave us free lessons and tips! I love everything from you to this vid. Everything is amazing and flows so smoothly. Keep up the good and wonderful job! I do really appreciate you for this!
I found myself landing on your channel because of your behind the scenes for an engagement shoot... Hours later I have a newfound appreciation for professional wedding photography. Really great content, thank you John.
I watch all my videos in 1.75x i watched this one in normal speed. from the start to end.. very amazing. as a photographer there's so much to learn in here.
Hands-down the best documentary behind the scenes process instructional video ever!!!!!! And this just happens to be the first video I’ve seen of yours ha ha
Wow one can tell that you are so well prepared, paying attention on everything that is happening and you know exactly what you want to capture. Very cool bts video and beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this! Your time and effort will surely be appreciated. I’ve been on and off with photography over the last few years. Now I’m ready to push full throttle. Your knowledge and channel has been great and has helped bring back to memory a lot of great details about this game.
So I guess their wedding anniversary is every 4 years??
John, what was that light you were using on top of your camera during the confetti exit?

The rest of it the lighting in the area was just perfect for a nice almost "creamy" look to the photos. So I think that worked out well. But I just decided not to use flash because I knew I would be fine without it.
It helps when you have a good sensor where you raise shadows in post processing. With Cripple Canon you have to play safe and use fill in flash.
Just a few more minutes until this premiers! :) This reminds me about how hyped I was to watch Endgame, funny enough it came out last year this time😂👌
lol. It's a legit movie premier!! 🙌
Cracking up at grandma at the end!!! Amazing video, I felt like I was right there in training. Cannot wait for my first wedding shoot!!!
Learned a WHOLE lot more than I already knew. I have done about 7 or 8 weddings in the 4 years of doing photography, and although I have done some of the things you were saying to do, I have still listened to your other tips and advice. Amazing shots and thanks for the tips and advice. I will remember to use them the next time I get hired for a wedding. God bless, brother!! Congrats to the happy couple.
Thanks for sharing this awesome and incredibly detailed content! I have my first wedding as a photographer coming up in January and this has been incredibly helpful to prepare for it.
On a logistical note, about how many XT3 batteries are you using per camera during a 10 hour day? I plan to buy more before the shoot and wanted to hear your experience with battery life on the XT3 (if the info was in the video and I missed it, sorry about that). Thanks!
me: *watches to learn the ins and outs of shooting a wedding*
also me: *cries while watching the "first look" couple interaction*
Bro same I'm trying to get some experience. I think my main thing is that I'm scared of messing it up, like this is a very important moment and I'm just scared to not being able to get the shots I would like
Can't believe I watched the whole 1 hour 20 mins and I don't regret it lol.
WOW! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Same!! 😂
That is by far the best BTS wedding photography videos I've seen!! Love all the information and explanations on how you shot photos and modelled the couple and wedding party.
I know you posted this about 3 years ago, so you may or may not see my comment. I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I have watched it probably a dozen times or more and then just some sections. I shot my first wedding yesterday and I put into practice alot of your advice, tips and instructions. As a result shooting my first wedding was a success. After about an hour being there, I started to really get into it and it was awesome. Some hiccups here and there but I overcame them without panicking. And I did indeed use the magmod system throughout the reception. I learned alot shooting this wedding and gained some much needed experience. Now I have to edit the photos and there is alot of them. I scanned through a bunch of them and all in all they look pretty good, some better than others. I will do better next time. And yes I had alot of fun during the reception party as well, I was not a fly on the wall. Thank you again for your videos and the help and knowledge you have provided me. You are an amazing wedding photographer.
1:19:07 Grandma had her own plan and almost ruined the moment :[
Yep yep. All part of the job. I'm happy I was able to get what I needed.
Imagine if the barber messed up your hairline on this special day.
