Hey Jessica! ...nobody teaches this and it's soooo frustrating to me. I know my way around a camera pretty well, but some of these more technical types of tricks and effects are things I still have yet to conquer and really figure out. THANK YOU soooo much for doing this for us!! I would sure give the world for you to also do a couple of videos teaching us how to photograph sparkler exits, light trails with wedding reception dance photos, how to photograph those cigar smoke photos of the guys on wedding day, and how to get that hair spray shot when the bride is getting ready. I'd also love to learn how to do some of those trick photos that so many of you do on wedding days - the reflection, shooting through things, bokeh lights, ring shots with an extra fun flair, etc. A super fun photographer that does a lot of this stuff is Jason Martin with Concept Photography. This guy has some super cool photography tricks and effects and I still have yet to figure out how he does a lot of them.
How do you get couples to pose so naturally! I've done couples shoots where it's almost like pulling teeth to get them comfortable to get close to one another 🤔
i really enjoy watching your tutorials - first of all because i really learn a lot from you and second because your way of connecting and communicating with your clients is just so very nice :) thanks a lot for uploading!
Already learned so much if you Jessica. There are so many photographers out there who take soooo much money for this things you show for free. As if it s not about art no more but how to get more money in seconds. But in your eyes I see that passion they don't have. Thanks Jessica.
Lovely atmospheric work Jessica! Classic poses as well and you have such a friendly way of talking to the camera. I hope you don't mind me saying this (delete if inappropriate), just a simple off camera flash (no more than $150 dollars extra for the cheapest YN branded triggers and the cheap flash) would have added the facial definition you have added in Lighroom/Photoshop later, but leaving more detail on them. This was the advice I was given when I started out a few years ago. I personally recommend (particularly to anyone just starting out on couple portraits) to keeping the camera's metering mode to take account of the entire scene, so keep it to matrix which is the default for most, and then light up the faces with a simple off camera flash. Very simple but effective setup and definitely possible to carry out on a budget.
Awesome, Superb. Energetic and it made us easy to understand the techniques. This video has just kicked out the fear in me for shooting Bride and Groom. I love shooting what's in action, but always hesitated from this kind of shoot, which is way more awesome than I thought. Thank you Jessica.
Jessica thank you so so much for this video! I am shooting my first wedding today and made detailed notes of this video plus a shot list, as you recommended. It was full of super helpful tips.
What a wonderful video.! Great as always :) Thank you very much! You are so inspiring.. You even added the settings to the edited photos, that's awesome!
gorgeous photos jessica. can you do a video on the issues you had or are dealing with in regards to color management? also, do you print any of your images yourself?
this was so good. tomorrow I can shoot my first wedding and I am so nervous. So this really helped me. I love your editing. Is there a possibility to buy some Lightroom presets for weddings? love your work xx
Thanks Jess! This video was superinspiring. Made me feel so warm and fussy inside (meaning I'm inspired lmao)! Going to save this for when I need that inspo kick. And like previous ppl said: EDITING TUTORIAL! Lovely colors
Hi Jes, a quick question. I'm confused that how is it possible to have these bright faces of this couple behind the sun and that to without any lights or a reflectors!!
Hi Jessica. Do you have an on matrix metering? I am shooting a friends wedding outside and I was thinking of using my flash to fill in the face if it’s too bright… Too much contrast to brite in the background
how do you focus? what mode do you use? i don't get how can you still change focus because you work so fast and another thing: how do you have focus on both since the camera has only one focus point . i am a beginner thanks
This video was great. Would you suggest this lens over the 24-70mm for shooting weddings? I already own a 50mm 1.4, but I'm helping out with a wedding this weekend, really just playing the background. I wanted to rent a longer lens to gain more experience with, but can't decide between the 35mm 1.4 or the 24-70mm 2.8 for just overall wedding shots. I've seen your videos on the lenses and love the look of both. Any suggestions?!!
love your photography, did you only use available light, not flash or off camera flash or reflectors? also what lens did you use and aperture? thank you!
Thanks for all these tutorials! Some awesome shots and tips! Quick question... What's the advantage to shooting 160 iso? I always assumed when you have plenty of light and no fast moving subjects you'd shoot at 100 or as low as the camera will allow?
Can may I know how do make editing for those photos? are u using adobe lightroom? if u use so can i know ur setting filter for the adobe lightroom. i would appreciate if u helps me to be a best photographer for my sister wedding day!
Hey Jessica I have a problem rgarding taking photos.. I messed some of my photos they are blured but in my viefinder camera and Lcd as if it is good but when I displayed it in my desktop Its blur how am I going to adress dt proble.. using canos1100d 18-55mm
Are you using external flash or is it just the editing? if it is, how do you edit the photos. cause they look very amazing. thank you in advance. Love from Indonesia :)
I see that you are shooting towards the sun, but on the photos both of them are bright and i cant see you using a reflector. How do you make them so light? Is it all post prosessing and bumping up the shadows? Is it the camera that has a lot of information in the shadows?
Great video, well explained. Were you using the 24-70mm for the full body and the 85mm the close ups? You're a natural. Love that you did it all without extra lighting.
stoplossM4 I do have that knowledge. I complemented the woman who made this video on creating the shots 'without extra lighting.' Stop trolling the internet pretending to know strangers. You can't even read basic sentences and are obviously very unhappy about your life because you take your anger out on strangers. Thats your problem, not mine. Adios.
Hi Jessica! Just found your videos. I noticed you had some cars in the background in some photos, do you typically leave them or would you edit them out? Have you ever noticed whether your clients mind or even notice objects in the background like that? When I do shoots I feel like I'm always hyper aware of background objects because I'm still learning how to delete them in post, but perhaps my clients don't even notice those details
Briana Grim I'm always worried about the same thing, trying to get the simplest background so it doesnt distract from the main focus, I've noticed that Jessica doesn't worry about the background too much, also because the aperture can help lots, but one tip of hers I've adopted myself is to place like a crystal over the car or thing you don't want to be shown and it'll create a light in that part so it isn't visible. I guess is just a matter of style!
Girl! You are really awesome! I do the same thing as you do! And Also is one girl show! :) Love your explanation while you are doing photo! Good luck to us!
this is great for posing ideas etc, but i've got my first wedding and i'm still anxious and feel i need more info xD especially for indoor shots & while it's all crazy & busy!!

going to shoot my first wedding in a few days and you taught how to handle the situation and getting the shots all in one video! thank you so much!
Same here!! I’ve been going back to all of her wedding videos to warm up for tomorrow 🤞🏼
Awesome, Superb. Energetic and it made us easy to understand the techniques. This video has just kicked out the fear in me for shooting Bride and Groom. I love shooting what's in action, but always hesitated from this kind of shoot, which is way more awesome than I thought. Thank you Jessica.
Absolutely gorgeous shots!!
thank you so much!
great video Jessica hopefully get some shots like this this weekend cheers John

Great as always :) Thank you very much!
You are so inspiring.. You even added the settings to the edited photos, that's awesome!
Great photography and stunning photos, please give some details on that editing style .
"I'll add it to my resume" 😂 I wish I could get you for my engagement photos but I'll probably have to do selfies. Damn college loans! haha
omg girl college loans?! i'm suffering right there with you ;-;
+Jessica Kobeissi Yesss. I went to the School of Visual Arts and tuition was crazy. worth though! love watching your videos.
SVA in manhattan? Only $250K for the 4 year gig lol.
love the editing on these photos, you should do a tutorial on how to edit like this.
Yes ❤️
Agree!!!
Agree 👍
Yes I love the way Jessica has edited the photos, do you use a preset or certain settings to get that look?
Agree!
Within the first few seconds of the video I knew the exact spot you were in. Belle isle is one of my favorite places to take clients!
Cute couple. 💕 I love how you edit the photos, it looks gorgeous. 💕
Very nice, are you doing a video about how you edited the photos?
They're a gorgeous couple! Beautiful shots :D
This is awesome Jessica!
Awesome video.
I’m getting into the industry this year.
Thank you for sharing!
gorgeous photos jessica. can you do a video on the issues you had or are dealing with in regards to color management? also, do you print any of your images yourself?
This is great! May I know what software you use to edit your photos?
this was so good. tomorrow I can shoot my first wedding and I am so nervous. So this really helped me.
I love your editing. Is there a possibility to buy some Lightroom presets for weddings?
love your work xx
Beautiful! Love your work and your channel! Great insight and advice!
Hi there Jessica . What will be the camera mode that you normally use for this part of the wedding?
Really love the tones in your pictures, great tips!! :)
Thanks Jess! This video was superinspiring. Made me feel so warm and fussy inside (meaning I'm inspired lmao)! Going to save this for when I need that inspo kick. And like previous ppl said: EDITING TUTORIAL! Lovely colors
Your pics are great!! Also your a really good teacher
Great photos, do you do the same at the reception?
this is very very helpful thank you!
you're welcome !!!
Hi Jes, a quick question. I'm confused that how is it possible to have these bright faces of this couple behind the sun and that to without any lights or a reflectors!!
Meghraj Khachar she's exposing on their skin ... that's the reason the sky is overexposed
Yes, I thought the background looks a little blown out.
What time of the day are you shooting? Nice pictures.
Please make more videos about this!!
Thank you so so so so much for this! Shooting a wedding next week and this is super helpful! Love your work!!
Hi Jessica. Do you have an on matrix metering? I am shooting a friends wedding outside and I was thinking of using my flash to fill in the face if it’s too bright… Too much contrast to brite in the background
Hi there Jessica and thanks for the video.
What aperture you normally using for this part of the photo session ?
I Love your videos. Great tips too.
Please do a video on editing these photos :)
How did you get the faces lit so well when they were standing with the sun to their backs and their faces in shadows? Enjoyed your video.
how do you focus? what mode do you use? i don't get how can you still change focus because you work so fast and another thing: how do you have focus on both since the camera has only one focus point . i am a beginner thanks
Hi Jessica, did u use a fill flash in these shots? Thanks much.

Nice photos. What are your presets? And are they for sale?
love your photography, did you only use available light, not flash or off camera flash or reflectors? also what lens did you use and aperture? thank you!
So happy you did this video! Can you do a tutorial of how you edit them?
Already been made :P scheduled to be out this month or the next...! I'll work on another one as well ^_^ So glad you like it!
Fabulous tips and photography. Thanks.
Thanks for all these tutorials! Some awesome shots and tips!
Quick question... What's the advantage to shooting 160 iso? I always assumed when you have plenty of light and no fast moving subjects you'd shoot at 100 or as low as the camera will allow?
Hey Jessica! Love the theme in these shots. What presets are you using for these?
Thanks for this tutorial? Can you tell me the specifics of the lens you used. Looks like a prime lens? What is is 35mm 1.8?
love ur work. is that the 35mm mk ii or 50 1.2 that ive seen you use in many other videos? thanks
35mm 1.4! thank you
Loved this. Very helpful as I'm breaking into wedding photography. Can you make more wedding tutorials? Please. :)
Jessica ! your fun to watch,, enjoy your videos
Can may I know how do make editing for those photos? are u using adobe lightroom? if u use so can i know ur setting filter for the adobe lightroom. i would appreciate if u helps me to be a best photographer for my sister wedding day!
Hey Jessica I have a problem rgarding taking photos.. I messed some of my photos they are blured but in my viefinder camera and Lcd as if it is good but when I displayed it in my desktop Its blur how am I going to adress dt proble.. using canos1100d 18-55mm
Love this!
I really like the way you edit this photos, do you have a video tutorial editing for this photos?🤗
Are you using external flash or is it just the editing? if it is, how do you edit the photos. cause they look very amazing. thank you in advance. Love from Indonesia :)
Are you in aperture priority mode? Is ISO set or on Auto?
I see that you are shooting towards the sun, but on the photos both of them are bright and i cant see you using a reflector. How do you make them so light? Is it all post prosessing and bumping up the shadows? Is it the camera that has a lot of information in the shadows?
Babeeshan my best guess is that she is shooting on raw and postprocessing it on lightroom.
Does the 5D MK3 really handle shadows that good?? wow
Hi can u pls tell which camera mood and lens u using pls.
Great video, well explained. Were you using the 24-70mm for the full body and the 85mm the close ups? You're a natural. Love that you did it all without extra lighting.
global001 you need to learn "extra lighting "
stoplossM4 She didn't use any mate. No flash, no reflectors. SMH.
stoplossM4 I do have that knowledge. I complemented the woman who made this video on creating the shots 'without extra lighting.' Stop trolling the internet pretending to know strangers. You can't even read basic sentences and are obviously very unhappy about your life because you take your anger out on strangers. Thats your problem, not mine. Adios.
how do you get that airy look i love it
I remember Marzia and Pewds shot on this one 8:24 😍 beautiful!
A close friend of mine asked me to be her photographer for her wedding and this is sooooo helpful thanks so much!!!
Hi Jessica! Just found your videos. I noticed you had some cars in the background in some photos, do you typically leave them or would you edit them out?

Vale Fabian thank you for the tip! I'll try that!
hey jessica that was awesome. one question though, do u use any other equipments outside ? beside the camera:) thankss ♡
and do you choose the location or do they?
Hi Jessica! Love this video and all of your videos! Were you shooting on Aperture priority? if not, How do you meter the light so quickly??
What are you taking picture in? Is it manual mode or what
Sorry this is probably a stupid question but do you shoot weddings using auto, semi/auto, or manual camera settings?
Most likely Manual. Lighting kind of sucks in auto
Jessica - did you use some presets - which ones?
And thank you for the Video! :)
That's amazing, It'd be great if you do someting like that for senior photos :)
thank you very much you are the best whould you please explain abuot your with balance?
I would like to know where/how you got your wardrobe. Forgive me if you answered this question during the video. I'm watching at work.

Girl! You are really awesome! I do the same thing as you do! And Also is one girl show! :) Love your explanation while you are doing photo! Good luck to us!
when do you usually photograph a bride and groom? is it before or after the wedding ceremony?
After the ceremony we usually do the couple photos :)

Cool video Jessica.👍
I would love to see how these are edited. If I shot from that angle, my subjects would be too dark. How do you do this?!
