Amazing I love your wedding photography
I started with free sessions the first 3 jobs I got. 2 were graduation and 1 was an anniversary. By word of mouth I got my first wedding last year. I charged $150. Then the single mother of one of the free graduations I did was so happy with the way the graduation photos went for her daughter that she booked me for her wedding (which was last weekend). I charged $400 for that one. Since I did the engagement session for her, she had them in her wedding and people asked who took those and now I have some people who are interested in booking me. I’m slowly gaining more volume and now that I have some experience and have a decent portfolio I want to have a website to show my work and promote myself. Your videos have been very helpful. I really enjoy the behind the scenes videos and they have given me ideas of what to do and what to expect. Great videos!
that's such an inspirational journey! 🤯
I wonder where do you live to charge so low
Agreed completely! I think it's a balance. Your business doesn't exist in a vacuum. Sure, you should *consider* how much you want to make, your business expenses, life expenses, etc. but you also have to consider your talent, the market in your area, competitive pricing, trends, the economy, etc.
This pricing myth is so useful for starters
I once got ripped off on a wedding I did for long time family friends.... all I wanted was $100..... the father of the bride said I shouldn’t get anything because I ate and partied (I skipped their meal because I simply wasn’t a guest so I didn’t think they had a meal reserved for me, which they didn’t, and I did NOT “party”). When I gave them the pictures which they told me I would also get paid they took the CD and said I’d get paid at the end of the month (again, “long time family friends”). When the end of the month came they acted surprised and said they didn’t know I “needed” money....
Then they didn’t like the pictures, which could of fooled me by how many prints they made and framed and mounted on their wall and posted to their social media. Their problem with the pics? They asked where “all the pics” are..? They said I took 10 pictures of them all together but only gave them 1.... I explained I took 10 pics of kids picking their noses and 10 pics of people looking in other directions and I gave them the best pic of the 10, it was 10 pics of the same damn thing basically. The mother looks confused and again says “but... where are all the pics? You took 10 of all of us..?”.
Ugh... I don’t do “friends” pictures anymore... I also don’t “bring your expensive camera and take pics of everything too”, their hired photographer will want you dead even if you stand in a corner and take shots without a flash and use a fast lens, the sight of your pro camera will piss them off.
I hear you man. I paid for rental, travels and as I arrived at the wedding the groom said his cousin will do it… that killed me
It's amazing to see how generous you are with these content.
Whenever someone ask me about photography,i always told them to switch to Taylor Jackson channel.
Cuz everything you need about pro. photography is in detail
Couldn't agree more I love his content and humility.
I love the complete honesty in this video. It has reassured me as I have struggled to get just one client.
Appreciate all your videos man!! Really helpful! Getting my business on track and keeping it going 👍👍
I love how honest you are about doing what you can to get your business off the ground. I noticed that alot of people in the industry wont even acknowledge you even if you offer to pay them for portfolio building jobs. Even if you are not a direct competition to them.
Loved this video and your message. Thanks for this!
Awesome valuable video i have watched many videos but it is very different and very clear explanation.
That was a wise, level-headed, sober and compassionate, yet professional delivery; and from a relatively young man! Well done!
Fantastic info Taylor. Loved the customer isn't always right bit I've been waiting to hear that for a while. Enjoy your work enjoy your life - that should be your goal.
Another amazing video by yourself! Thanks buddy!
Thanks Mr Jackson for this video! Badly needed it.
I have too many cameras, just like watching your videos (when I am not shooting for fun). You have a great message delivery.
Absolutely love this. Couldn’t agree more. I am getting super tired of the “know your worth” and the logical fallacies when explaining how to determine your CODB and pricing. It’s BS. Thanks for calling it out.
Excited to watch all the Patreon content on this !!
I'm happy and I realize your amazing photographer, I hope you have a more more wedding photography 😍🙏God bless
so helpful! thanks, Taylor!

Loved this video
amazing photography
It's a lot of information and good guidelines thanks Taylor Jackson
Have you done a video on the types of red flags to look out for before you accept a booking?
Great video and advice, been watching you for a little bit, and just now realized (from your saying it) that you're from Toronto. My fiancé is from Hamilton.
So did you pick someone to give the z50 to orrr?
@Taylor Jackon I wish you would have mentioned on average how many weddings you do in a years time to help people to understand how to price per wedding to come up with a yearly revenue whether its $10,00 or less a year (Partime Photographer) to $100,000 a year full-time photographer with 10 plus years of experience.
Hi, I see you bought the d780. What advantages does it have over the Z6?
Thanks for sharing this Taylor :)
Helped me a lot
Great message !!
thank you Taylor
Great content 👍🏻 keep it up champ
Thanks it was a very good lesson
Love this video Taylor. Right from the heart and upfront honest. Fits right in with the rest of your online work. Didn't realise you're just up the road from me so to speak (Ancaster).
Hah yep! I’m at Ancaster Mill a few times a year for weddings! Love the area
THANK YOU. Seriously.
You are most honest photographer I have known... Hats 🎩 Off Brother 🤗🤗
Love the content bro. 💪
Lovee ur videos man!
yeah, snowstorm....
My sister lived in Barrie for a couple years, after growing up in Montreal, all she needed to clear her driveway was a wide broom!
Clearly this is great info and the only reason the view count isn't in the 4-5 digits is because of the super bowl!
Hah. I don't miss living in a house with a big driveway. Thanks for watching!
I love you mann your the best your energy is just awesome i love youuuu never change your awesome

Gary’s Sales strategy 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Taylor, you mentioned red flags in your video. What are some red flags you would pick up on from a prospective client?
very cool and perfect photos 😍🤗
In your local area, I recommend Never be the cheapest because that can make you loose clients even if they like your portfolio even if it is your first year. Just be a few hundred dollars more.
You don't want to be known as a weekend warrior who is way underpricing in your area.
Destination weddings If you can shoot in an epic place yes do whatever it takes to shoot that wedding. This will definitely improve your portfolio and you always what to improve your portfolio by removing the weakest photos to stronger images as you grow.
You also have to consider the day of the week for pricing Friday through Sundays is premium days most want those days but other weekdays could be priced cheaper for clients who have less money. The same goes for certain months That where you could offer lower pricing to clients because its the slow time of the year.
There is a lot more to figure out pricing but 150 weddings a year (3 weddings a week) is crazy and I think unattainable when there are only 52 weeks in a year!
Where can I get that chair tho
Great honest video about pricing !
Love you man. No words for you
Love your channel
Oh my god thank you so much
You are awesome photographer
Your iPhone XS Max competition is making me all excited ☺️
Great video man
I’m putting together a kit for wedding, I’m buying a 85 1.4 , I own a 35 and 50 1.4. Would you say a 70-200 2.8 is necessary? I own a 70-200 f4l but not sure if that will cut it and the 2.8 is necessary for the 70-200.
If you don't use it a lot, it's not worth the extra weight and expense. I use mine for pretty much every ceremony though so I like to have it. F4 is probably fine as long as you have a camera that does well at high ISO. You can really get away with using an 85 for almost everything though
The best video of wedding photography
nice information
Thats incredible💥💥
Great info man. I've been looking for this info. Looking good as well with the weight loss man. Have you changed your diet? Making a video about it? Would love to hear your story. Keep Shooting. WSCP
Once again the great fan of Taylor Anna 😍😍😍🤟🤟🤟💘
Agreed !
I would LOVE for you to expound in red flags and how to recognize/address them.
Hey bro, are you shooting the 58mm 1.5 G or the 50 AFs 18 G?
I like your photography styles
Love your video, but can you do a posing style for teen who don't know how to pose cause i'm one of them. Hehe
Great useful vedio💪❣️
Some of best photos
Gleamed a few golden nuggets from this so totally appreciated. I love photography and have done 3 weddings for free, (one i was flown to a location, i offered to pay) nugget #1 hire someone for the post processing if time poor, and if needed. I’m ok at this but there are way better gurus at post processing quicker and better cost effective. Nugget #2 relax have fun, cell phone photographers, mothers, all can be fixed with communication, I’m always looking for that emotional, connection photo, end state ppl like Taylor re-enforces that we love what we do, thank you
Awesome video. How is the auto face tracking of the D780 in video? Is it useable?
Worked for this! I’d suspect it’s as good as the Z 6 which works in most situations but can be fooled in weird light
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto wow iam using the d750 and the af tracking on video is garbage. Thanks for the response
@ billiadmhy
Hey please give me that Nikon Z50 & 16-50mm lens
Nice happy snowfall
Perfect photography..
Who won the camera give away?
Great video.
Wow... Super amazing😍
I agree
Any certificate important to photography
This is my question ?
