Super-helpful. I'm shooting my first wedding (for a friend) in a couple of weeks. Your videos in general have been extremely helpful in terms of reducing the number of "unknown unknowns" that I'll be facing.
This put me at ease so much. I'm painfully introverted, but love photography. I've done multiple family shoots / just kids photos, but this weekend is my first wedding. It's comforting to see someone else who's introverted and succeeding.
I read a BBC article the other day too that mentioned how sugar/glucose helps lower decision fatigue when you're getting stressed out. They didn't say refresh your mind. It was specifically about decision fatigue (which photographers deal with a lot). And the science behind it seemed pretty legit. Like it's a great short-term fix. And it can be a great way to get over any hump where a person is making a lot of hard decisions in a short amount of time.
Not sure if you touched base on it but i’ve done maybe 4-5 weddings, all for friends and this tips kinda goes without saying, but dont drink or party with the people because its very easy to get sidetracked and miss great shots. Especially doing wedding for friends who know you well.
What do you think of the Denis Reggie Wedding Photojournalist style? He keeps it simple and does only a few posed images. I was able to shoot my first wedding as a second shooter last weekend. It was for sure a learning experience. I took the more candid shots, send off, and the reception. Thanks for all of your advice!
How did you guys get on? It rained for me! Lol. The church was super dark also. Not to mention the covid masks... Really tough first wedding but I got through it alive! I think it has to get easier after that? :-)
I just found you!!! I have my first wedding coming up and im freaking out! Im a natural light photographer, so freaking out about using a flash and harsh lighting outside. What have I done? 🤯
I’m a natural light photographer as well, what do you have planned for shooting indoors? Any suggestions on flashes, i’m not familiar and i have a wedding coming up and i’m freaking out!
How did your wedding go?! I am just beginning and i want me end goal to be weddings and I’m so nervous about it and don’t know when to start shooting weddings!
I would say the kit lens exception might be the Nikon z 24-70mm f4 S, yes the 2.8 is better but damn that’s a good kit lens and can lead to some amazing photos
Perhaps a "dumb" question but I am newer and a Nikon shooter with a Z6. Do you always shoot in continuous focus mode? If so, do you have it set to shoot based on focus or button push? Your videos are not just informational, they are usually pretty funny. Thank you from So. California
Shot my first one earlier this week. Sony A9|| and prime lenses. ‘Sprayed and prayed’. Ran around like a crazy man. Got well over 1000 pics between practice, dinner and ceremony. Now to Light Room and to thin the heard to about 50.
I have my first big wedding on October 9 and I’m nervous as heck. But I’m an over thinker and i driving myself with what if’s. But I have everything I need as far as photography gear just I have a lot anxiety
As a fellow beginner on my third wedding, I actually do small weddings for $50-250. It really depends on your experience, your ability to market yourself, and showcase how much you’re worth. That will usually come with building up a camera gear setup, a great portfolio, and a website. For a professional wedding photographer who charges $1500-3000, you have to truly deliver for that hefty price!
With covid and all, I’m finding it harder to second shoot for wedding photographers. What would you recommend I do to break into the wedding business? Thanks, love your work btw
About to shoot my first wedding, one camera, one battery, four lenses and none of them are a 24-70mm, camera is a canon 5D, D is for dinosaur and it’s showing it’s age so yeah it’s the first 5D, bills, taking care of family and other things i can’t ignore financially kept me from upgrading, not getting paid for this shoot but I’m still gonna go that extra mile to do my best, hell yes I’m in over my head 😥, at least I got to visit Puerto Rico
Sugar restores glycogen stores quickly which 100% makes sense why it would help . Same way us bodybuilders drink intra workout carbs to replenish as we are depleting stores
I'll also throw in. Insure your gear. Accidents happen. And the more you shoot the more likely it will happen. If someone bumps into you. And you don't have a few grand laying around to replace your gear. That can put you out of work for months. So get insurance to get you new gear replaced or fixed asap
Great video thanks Taylor. Hearing you say that you are introverted helps me a lot. I have had many people ask me to do weddings but can’t break the fear factor. Hopefully soon I will bite the bullet @mattorrz if interested. Cheers 🍺
Go for it sir I was an introvert for the longest but this year 2020 has changed my mindset and been gaining so much opportunity and been interacting more than I ever been

I couldn't have asked for a better video! I feel so relieved by watching this!

Best 👏🏼 photography 👏🏼 UA-camr 👏🏼 ever.
I’ll be shooting my first wedding this June. Excessively nervous. I’ll for sure be watching a ton of your videos before hand to prepare
I ran into BRIDEZILLA and it was by far my worst experience in photography. Totally frustrated me to no end. Do you have any advice on THAT SUBJECT?
really nice intro, big fan of your UA-cam work and lessons, I loved your style of photography, you are my mentor, wish you best Taylor Jackson!!!

I have my first wedding in October, I’m so nervous but your video has helped. I’m going to check your FB page too!
My first in October too, let me know how yours goes!
Am also having mine in October, all the best of luck to us
Same here! Best of luck to all of you!
Same! Got my first wedding this Saturday
How did you guys get on? It rained for me! Lol. The church was super dark also. Not to mention the covid masks... Really tough first wedding but I got through it alive!
I think it has to get easier after that? :-)
I love how this is really easing me into feeling confident in my journey with Wedding Photo & Video. Thank you!
The beginning really calmed me down about shooting my first wedding
Good luck!
Me too!! 😆
I just found you!!!
I have my first wedding coming up and im freaking out!
Im a natural light photographer, so freaking out about using a flash and harsh lighting outside.
What have I done? 🤯
Relax everything is going to be alright 👍
I’m a natural light photographer as well, what do you have planned for shooting indoors? Any suggestions on flashes, i’m not familiar and i have a wedding coming up and i’m freaking out!
Same here. How did it go? =)
Something magical about Lemonade at a wedding 😍
Been a photographer for 1 month and a half and my first paid wedding is in a week. Im learning as fast as i can😆😬
Whoa!!! That’s the fastest I’ve heard hah. Best of luck! Let me know if you want to know anything specific!
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto i will thank you!
How did your wedding go?! I am just beginning and i want me end goal to be weddings and I’m so nervous about it and don’t know when to start shooting weddings!
This came out two days too late! Haha but thanks for all the other videos they have really helped. It went well btw!
Awesome video mate, keep it up!
Can we get that amazing song in Spotify PLEASE!?!
Great reminders, thanks Taylor!
Really like this video. Very informative. Thank you!
I would say the kit lens exception might be the Nikon z 24-70mm f4 S, yes the 2.8 is better but damn that’s a good kit lens and can lead to some amazing photos
I was contemplating getting the 24-70 for a wedding and using a 50 for reception.

Hi, just found your channel... how do we join the members only facebook group? :) please and thank you!
I usually sit with vendors and we don't have to talk at all :)) Same same here in Romania.
Nice song man, very creative, thanks for the video :).
Your videos have helped me allot
For beginner wedding photographers, what would you suggest on how to charge them?
As a fellow beginner on my third wedding, I actually do small weddings for $50-250. It really depends on your experience, your ability to market yourself, and showcase how much you’re worth. That will usually come with building up a camera gear setup, a great portfolio, and a website.

This is an interesting topic actually. I’ll try and make a video about it next week when I’m back home!
Thanks for posting
Appreciate your videos...this one especially!
B&W, nice save
Where could I find a shot list for a wedding day? If you share something like that! Thanks!

Thank you for this video. Its very insightful

I would like to get started in doing wedding but my cameras are DSLR's Nikon D700 and D7100 are these to noise for weddings?

Great video
Love the intro
Aww I thought the whole video was going to be in song format 😂😂 Thanks for making this!!
Thank you.
You're a dork lmfao. Love the start to the video 🤣

Did you used Fuji cam..!!??
JUST DRINK WATEEEERRRRR!
Should we definitely shoot in manual for an event like that?
Yes. Absolutely
love the song
Great intro
THANKYOU
First wedding hope for further more
Thank you!!!!!
Shooting my first wedding tomorrow… on film…
Bro that intro song 😂
@taylorjackson do you have presets for affinity or on1 thanks
Free? For templates? Not fair! I paid for your courses. Lol
Coconut oil. It has MTCs which is quick energy for the brain. Healthier than sugar. Especially if your on keto.
50mm f1.8 kit lens ain't too bad.. zooms, not so much..
Aey rupali. Yo yo bantai rapper.😒😎🔥
Unfortunately, I gave up on Facebook
TikTok only?
Great video thanks Taylor.
Hearing you say that you are introverted helps me a lot.

Go for it sir I was an introvert for the longest but this year 2020 has changed my mindset and been gaining so much opportunity and been interacting more than I ever been
it's not free. it says $19.
The link should be a bundle to get it free
600!!! Do people want 600 photos of their wedding 😱
For what it’s worth, this is much lower than what a lot of photographers deliver.
Make Indian wedding photography video.
