    Thanks for sharing!
    Could you do a video on lens choices and why for different wedding phases: from getting ready, indoor church events and reception? I do events and mostly rely on 35mm and 50mm 1.4 lenses. I like the look of 85mm but it limiting sometimes indoors due to lack of space or people walking across the subjects. I just transitioned to all primes to force myself into better composition instead of staying put and zooming in and out.

    Just started watching these videos after refusing to pay for a wedding photographer and going for the ‘give all my photo savvy friends a roll of film and an older camera, but now i see what you can do with wedding photography and after 12 years of other photo experience…i kinda want to get into it! Your videos are top notch

    I love this video. Could we ask you to include the lens, flash, shoot details ofthe photos in the summary? I'm starting out and I appreciate your sharing the emotional and relationship building with clients. It would also be great to understanding what was equipment and setup was used to get these incredible photos.
