Thank you so much! I have been doing weddings now for almost 20 years and I find your approach both very refreshing and educational. I am still learning. Old dog learning new tricks! Keep up the good work Jaired.
Thanks for sharing. I have my first wedding video shoot coming up in a couple of weeks. This has given me some practicle ideas to work with, and has calmed my nerves a little:-)
I really appreciate your videos man! I'm going into my 2nd year of filming weddings and I've learned a lot for you. Love your color grading and edits and sometimes when I'm stuck in an edit, I'll take some time and go back and watch some of your films for inspiration. Thanks for all of your hard work with YT and filming weddings.
That's the most difficult part of the wedding cinematography but thank you so much for the tips. Definitly I am try all these tips out on my wedding gig tomorrow. Cheers brother!
great advice....its tough at first for sure...once you communicate with the photographer and are direct and quick its all good...i'm always trying to include a cinematic drone shot as well which is tough when your always running behind on wedding days
Thanks for making this video man! I use all these except the hipster shot lol. I don't know why but ill film it if the photographer does it, but I'm just not a fan of them looking away from each other. I def will incorporate some more hand shots and slower shots this year. I usually always have some form of movement in my shots and need to just have a solid composition with no movement. thanks again for the video!!!
Super helpful. Definitely one of my fave parts of the day. Party saving is also another fave. These are great poses. Imma use the silhouette move. So cool
This is one of the most looked forward to times for me, but I stress all the way up to it because I want to make sure I get enough coverage and shot variety for the film. One time this year I had 5 minutes with the couple. It was tough.
@@WaywardNorth what's your advice on finding the name once you've figured out the direction of your brand? I know you switched a few years ago, and I'm most likely doing the same next year.
First off, thank you for the advice and encouragement given in each of your videos! Your work is phenomenal! This question is off topic, but when you're shooting with a Sony camera do you always shoot in Slog2/3? I'm curious as to whether or not it is worth the added attention to exposure, for more dynamic range, over using a profile like cine4...especially filming fast pace weddings with so many variations of lighting? Thanks in advance!!
Thanks so much! So I actually just switched to Sony and haven’t used them for weddings yet. This season will be my first at bat with the new A7Siii and A7IV but what I will say is the S Cinetone picture profile is one I will be using more often. Reminds me a lot of Canons accurate color and will help me deliver a faster end product bypassing the extra step in processing. I’ll definitely have more videos surrounding the Sony this year once I am able to do more deep dives with it :)
This is SO helpful!!!! Do you find that you and the photographer tend to go back and forth on poses or does 1 person get all their shots then the other goes? Might be a silly question but it’s been one reason why I’ve been hesitant to get more creative with my posing aside from what the photog is capturing.
It certainly helps to have a photographer with a similar style and understanding of what video needs which is less statues and more movement lol. Typically if you run into a situation with the photographers is posing them as a freeze frame, let them capture what they need to and then before they move them to a different pose ask if you can jump in for a few seconds and get more movement and genuine reactions from them. It can be defeating if the photographer is doing something completely off the wall so it’s important to speak up and make sure you get what you need for the sake of their video. Your future self will definitely thank you! Aside from that, if you and the photographer can both collectively pose and capture a realness with your couple with each position, marry that photographer and never let me go because that’s the dream team lol
Hey man! Curious what you shoot portraits on related to gimbal, monopod, handheld, etc...? I haven't done this much, but seems it'd be hard to get some of the wide shots you had towards the end due to needing to switch lenses from my 50mm for tight shots of faces to a 12-24 for landscape/location ones. Thanks!
Hey man! I would recommend a 24-70mm for Portraits as this will help you cover a variety of focal lengths and allow you to seamlessly build a scene without the stress of switching mid moment. If you have a second shooter, even going with a 24mm Prime lens on a gimbal and have your second capture the tighter angles with an 85 or 135mm.
Valid opinion for sure! Maybe with the hipster pose of looking left and right it would make sense to have them look at each other during the shot - symbolizing being a part and then together.

Ti video esta genial, te ganaste tu like
Last couple I filmed, I told the groom to whisper the lyrics to Akon's Smack That in the brides ear. It was so great 😂😂
Haha that's amazing
Helpful video!
Great tips
You haven't lived until someone seductively whispers Raisin Bran in your ear. Good tips here!
😂😂😂
This is one of the most looked forward to times for me, but I stress all the way up to it because I want to make sure I get enough coverage and shot variety for the film. One time this year I had 5 minutes with the couple. It was tough.
Thats a great one as well! I do this all the time. And oof 5 minutes is tough...
@@WaywardNorth what's your advice on finding the name once you've figured out the direction of your brand? I know you switched a few years ago, and I'm most likely doing the same next year.
I love the dreamy look! What strength diffusion filters do you use/ brand?
Thanks so much! I use the 1/4 Tiffen Black Pro Mist Filters - amzn.to/3KhKdrD
Great, inspiring video as always.
(Btw: I never understood this hipster pose ... doesn't make a lot of sense to me from a storytelling point of view).
Haha yeah I guess its a style choice. Thanks so much!
I have done a couple of weddings. Got a Sony FX3 and I love it. Any thoughts on how to get more clients? I'm going through hard times.. :(
Love these prompts! Do you typically have an order/sequence that you follow these prompts in?
Thanks so much! No particular order really, generally I communicate with the photographer on what their process is first and then go from there.
First off, thank you for the advice and encouragement given in each of your videos! Your work is phenomenal!

How to pop the champagne to make all this booze rain?
the "hipster pose" is the worst. Looks like they're ready for divorce already.
