BYE FULL FRAME. HELLO X-T3. Low Light Wedding Photography Behind The Scenes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2019
- Can the Fujifilm X-T3 hang with full frame cameras for low light wedding photography? Wedding photographers have blindly accepted full frame cameras as the industry standard for low light, but this video might change your mind. I take you behind the scenes of a low light church wedding ceremony with the X-T3 to see for yourself.

What did you think about my first wedding photography behind the scenes?! If you liked this video, please share it with your friends!
Very nice Reggie!
Thanks so much my friend! Share it!
What I most appreciated about this listening to your thought process. Very clear and should help those starting out on how to make a checklist for their coverage and not feel frazzled. Based on your title, I was expecting a really dark church like Mission San Jose in Fremont where there are hardly an windows for natural light and pushing the APS-C to 6400 and above. Wanted to see how you were combatting that. I know the folks over in the UK that shoot in castles end up opting for really contrasty images and are able to create high drama imagery which is cool and a great way to work with the constraint of the equipment. For us, we've decided that the X series just hits a wall for low light and detail retention at those higher ISOs, especially when my subjects get really small in the frame.
Awesome job on the video. Looking forward to the next one.
stephen heraldo thanks for the comment. I would combat it using the same rules. 12800 iso if I need to. At the mercy of the venue. How else did people shoot back in the day haha. And glad you enjoyed the thought process. It’s definitely something I thought was missing from other UA-cam behind the scenes videos
stephen heraldo and some food for thought, guys like kevin Mullins have been shooting fujis in uk with much older fujis. It’s not like it hasn’t been done before. The audience is never satisfied, just like your gear lust haha
This has got to be one of the most thorough videos on shooting lowlight ceremonies using Fuji x bodies with Fuji prime lenses. Thanks for putting the time and effort into making this for us.
thanks for the comment. def was a lot of work but gla dyou found it helpful :)
Man. This is brilliant! I can never be a wedding photographer! I don't have the nerves for that!
🙌🏽
Solid vid! I love how you're hitting such a specific topic as well in the video. 👌👌👌
Thanks brother! You inspired me! Although just didn’t have the bandwidth to do a full day bts
The 56 f1.2 is such a beautiful lens and an incredible performer.
I'm glad I have one.
It definitely is! I’m considering making my own review video of it to offer my unique perspective on it
How do you get tack sharp images with that lens. Practice/skill? Or do you have recommendations on settings that help?
madwindsurfer practice and skill for sure. And experimentation over what settings work for specific situations. Af-s works best for most situations. Single point small point size. For moving subjects, single point, af-c, continuous set 2 works best for me. But make sure to aim on a contrasty part of the subject (the eye) and overshoot so you have plenty to pick from after in post
This was great to see the ceremony from your point of view and what you would do for each situation. This was incredibly helpful.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.
you are the main reason why i choose fujifilm bro, still got your back and keep it great bro
Son Vu Media thanks brother! Appreciate the support
Great insights! For folks shooting church weddings this is a perfect blueprint
Appreciate the kind words!
For those who are thinking "this is not a low light situation": ISO 3200 at f/1.4 translates to ISO 12800 at f/2.8, if the shutter speed is constant. The GoPros autoexposure is a little misleading to how dark it really was. A lot of people also like to think that I shot at higher isos when I shot on Nikon D750. I’ve delivered over 52,000 professional wedding photos to clients and only 431 of them were over ISO 3200 (less than 1%!)
full frame is not 4/3,is not APS-C..period....sure we can use whatever but it's just not the same..In fact,my DSLR has APS-C crop mode,and a lot of the low light effectiveness is the sensor and DSP..
But how can you shoot at ISO lower than 3200? How do you manage this? Can you share which tens do you use and setting in general for each situation?
Yup I agree
@@Reggiebphoto plus,you know the UA-cam world where damn near everyone is a professional expert,peddling the cameras they like...I had a Nikon point and shoot which is used for stills and video,and was the best i had to take pics in the skating rink..My Olympus too,i think i wore the camera out,and always shot with the kit lenses..Point being,if you suck,you just suck,$400 body or $5000 body..
who needs full frame when is this good
Thanks alot for making this video .. i enjoy every moments of it'. .. and wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday
Appreciate the kind words! What was your favorite part of the video? Thanks so much. And hope you and your family have a wonderful family as well.
Greatly appreciate all the information you’ve shared Reggie! Thank you!
MrUxser of course!
This was excellent! I didn't think I'd watch the whole thing, but it was actually very interesting how you approached each of the different scenes and explained your thought process.
Glad it was engaging. I made sure to have no dead time in the video, either showing a photo, providing narration, etc. I’ve watched a lot of bts videos and they end up being very slow cause of the quiet moments
What a fantastic video this was! Thank you for posting RB! Keep up the excellent work! 👌🏻
Thanks for the kind words! Will try to keep it up for you guys. Thanks for your patience and support!
Wow, you're amazing! I just purchased my XT3 and am absorbing as much as I can. I clearly have a lot to learn! :-)
Chris Dixon haha! Thanks for the kind words. I’ve got a lot of stuff on here about the x-T3 so you’ve come to the right place :)
Thanks Reggie, great to see an insight into your process. I'd love to hear more about how you use your pocket mirror.
Great work and detail explanation. Love your shots, particularly the ones with the veil
Thank you!
This video was super helpful. I love how you explained the rationale behind your exposures and compositions.
Long Sin glad it was helpful my friend!
Thanks so much for the perspective and creative process!
You’re welcome!
Great video! I feel as if these videos are the ones that I learn the most from. Thank you.
Using flash at a reception will be next
Fantastic tutorial! Very detailed and creative. I am a wedding photog myself- and always watch tutorials to keep me up to date. Your video was perfect. It also makes the new photogs to trust their gear. Especially high ISO settings.
Thanks for watching!
This video is GREAT! Thanks a lot for sharing! Hope to see more videos like this one!
Definitely !
This was gold! Would love to see more of these "Behind the Scenes" videos
🔥
Wow, that was really informative and excellent walk-through!! Amazing you documented the whole process, very useful tips all the way!! I have found two bodies with primes is excellent for low light theatre shots. I've also done a few weddings, this was by far the best tutorial I've seen!!
Awesome, I’m very glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for the video
Absolutely the best walk-through of wedding photography I have ever seen.
Bryan Bernart this means a lot. Appreciate the kind words! Have you ever seen Taylor Jackson’s videos by chance? Curious how you think it stacks up
Your shots look really great! Informative and helpful for my future shoots specially how you seem to naturally aim for the X pattern to lead viewers' eyes to the subject, thanks!
Glad to help!
This is such an amazing video. I'm just a hobby photographer, but I really enjoyed your workflow and how you explained your thought process. Very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Reggie thank you for making these, though just an amateur photographer, each one of your XT3 videos that you produce, keeps me happy enough to stay with Fuji!
Yes for amateurs it’s more than enough. And for pro I’m proving it’s capable too
Probably your best video my friend. And one of the best on the subject in all UA-cam.
Thanks that means a lot! Appreciate the kind words. I had high hopes for it and it came out how I wanted
Man these videos are priceless !! As a wannabe wedding photographer seeing you in the similar situation s I find myself in and the decisions you make is brilliant. Keep the top content coming.
Awesome feedback. glad to hear!
Your videos are consistently excellent -- well narrated, detailed, clear. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback
Just come across this as a new subscriber - I really appreciate the comments you make on performance in different AF modes and your setup. Love the mirror trick.
Awesome!
Your most valuable video to date for me as it shows real time scenarios and the what/when/why/how . You did an engagement BTS earlier this year and couldn't wait for this one ! Keep it up dude ❤️
Engagement v2 will definitely be coming in 2020 with posing, choosing backdrops/locations, how I light couples using directional natural light. Etc
Really excellent video. Great to see how u approach the day.
Thanks so
Much! Hope it was useful for you
Thank you very much for the video
Really enjoyed this video, great pictures
Great work, I didn't know how it was to shoot a wedding. There's a lot of things to be aware of, thanks for sharing
Yup lots of factors go into it for sure.
Really nice of you going so in depth of your way of shooting. Cheers!
Of course. No need for secrets. Sub to the channel for more
Great info coming soon :)
Love the flow, love the review you have done here, excellent work. Love legit real world product reviews.... you sir nailed it, looking forward to many more tips and tricks, tutorials
Henry Chavez thanks man! I wouldn’t really call this a review or did not intend it to be a review but yes, real world practical use and tutorials is the focus of my channel. If you like it then subscribe and come along for the ride :)
Reggie Ballesteros hey boss welcome, yes your right it’s not a review, I was just expressing my love for real world reviews not to this perticular vid, watching your style of photography is superb.
I am a z6 user and love it and has seen how much Nikon has improved certain features with the camera, auto focus has been tremendously improved but still needs to be perfected. Although i have found ways around it to get it to focus great in times which have been some not many it trying to track other things but no biggie because I like to manual focus my subjects a lot, only flaw is Nikon is taking forever on putting out lenses, will see this year. science color is #1 , quality and for me it checks off my boxes 📦... with that I’m looking to purchase the Fujifilm t-3 maybe as a replacement to my z6, this camera has been on my radar for a while now. I just haven’t used it I see that the auto focus and frame rate is crazy and the color science is magnificent
Still relevant. thanks for the effort and the sharing BIG thumbs up.
Nice video, my dude. Thanks! I shoot for gyms and just recently started using my X-T3 for indoor shots without flash instead of my D750. My clients loved the images so I'm happy that they're happy.
Great stuff! Glad to hear!
Thanks reggie, great video
Ian Robinson thank Ian!
fantastic, this time you have present more thank I expect from this video.
glad to surpass your expectations!
Nice work! Love the mirror and veil shots!
Thanks! Much appreciated
Very helpful with many tips. Thanks.
that last window shot is lush!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for these videos, I am by no means a professional myself but I do love my T3 and lenses, I really appreciate your input in the Facebook community and your efforts for these videos!
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah on the fb groups I tend to get a little annoyed as the people who are argumentative are louder than the silent majority who appreciates what I’m doing haha
Incredible information and honest tips, really appreciate it.
of course my friend!
his wedding videos are awesome
Reginald showing how it’s done.
First time I even saw a Pro unveiling his technique... Legendary!
P G no secrets here haha
Finally, i was able to finished thru one tutorial in one go. Very engaging and interesting. Thank you Regz, for this kind share of information
Nice! Glad it kept you engaged the whole way through :)
@@Reggiebphoto maybe i should blame you. Hahaha. Thanks for the wonderful tutorials. Please keep it coming
Very nice information for low light and lens used and how each lens look. Nice
Thank you!
Very informative.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
You’re very welcome thanks for watching!
Dude, you're actually my hero. SO GOOD

The shot at 17:13 is amazing 😍 such good work!
Thanks so much!
Excellent video! Will be shooting my first wedding in a couple of weeks with my xt3 🤓 (23f2, 16f1.4, 56f1.2) - feeling even more confident in this awesome camera after this video, thanks!
Philipp Uricher the camera can definitely deliver. Just be sure to put in the hard work as well and you’ll be fine :)
Your an incredibly hard working photographer and the photos certainly proof that. Well done pal.
Thanks my friend. Appreciate the kind words and the recognition. Definitely have put in a lot of work to get to where I am, but hoping to inspire others
Fantastic clip!!! So inspiring!!! THANK YOU.
I’m glad to inspire. Thanks for watching! Any part that you found most interesting?
@@Reggiebphoto all of it.
Well Done Reggie, good video and a lot of information! Thanks! I m almost shooting 16-55 and 50-140 for ceremony, I might try different combination next!
Thank you!
Great vid. Thank you for sharing so much information.
you're welcome! thanks for watching!
@@Reggiebphoto Do you have a similar video that shows your post processing? That would be interesting too.
You are a very generous and talented educator. Thank you
Thanks!
Excellent wedding tutorial.
Keith Sandercock thanks for the kind words! Hope you learned a thing or two
Thank you so much for this Video!
You’re welcome!
this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am in awe
Which part has you in awe?
Thanks for helping to dispel some of my newbie fears!
Haha definitely! Although, I will be honest that a wedding execution like this is only possible with practice and experience. So put in the work and you can do it with your gear too!
Impressed with the the high iso capabilities of this crop sensor camera , makes me wanna switch great work 👍
Thanks!
Great vid. Really enjoying the coverage of the X-T3.
As a tip, I usually speak to each of the people on the aisles about leaning out into the aisle. I explain that the bride and groom have paid me to get photos of them, and not their guests bums. Usually not that direct, but it gets the point across.
Great tip! And thanks for watching
Great video. I'm a professional travel photographer who swapped out my Nikon D850 for a Fujifilm X-T2. I loved it so much my go-to travel cameras now are two X-T3's. X-T4 on order! I'll be helping a buddy shoot a couple of weddings later this year, so I figured, I better watch some tutorials. I'm glad I found yours!
InTrumpWeTrust awesome!
Cool pic and also the composition...
really love this video and the information :)
Of course!
Great video, thanks so much!
Thank YOU for watching
Very informative ! Thank you very much.
Thanks my friend! Appreciate the kind words!
You are a fantastic teacher, great work.
Paul Smith you’re too kind!
Solid images buddy stellar work
Thanks my friend!
Thank YOU 🙏
Wow its just wow! Few minutes of watching your videos is like going to a class for a semester. Ive learned a lot!!! Great video, well delivered. Im hoping to volunteer and experience these things as it happens. Starting photography From Bay Area.
Nice my friend
Really interesting video. Thumbs up
Thanks my friend
I just bought a Fuji Xt3 after only shooting weddings, portraits with Canon for years ... (5d mk2, 5d mk3 and EOS R) I havent had a chance to do a wedding just yet as most of my weddings are postponed, but just can not wait to try it out to see how it is going to perform. Great video Reggie, thanks a lot!!!
A hugely useful video, thank you so much!
🙌🏽
Loved the video.
Glad you liked it! What part was your fave? Haha
@@Reggiebphoto in general just to see how you cover a wedding, and having confirmed that you can do it with Fujifilm cameras 🙂 I particularly liked the use of the mirror, that's a great way to accentuate the church room. I also got a better understanding of why you really need that second shooter. I'm not doing weddings myself, but I would like to try, at least to get the experience. I have done several events, and I like to do documentary photography, so I have a feeling that I would like it 🙂
Great video!
Thanks!
Nice to show that not going over ISO 3200 is key and the shutter speed to not be below 160th to make sure there's no blur, informative video and tips I'll take into account when using mine!! Great vid!
KSTobago glad you’re we’re able to pull out that info. Took me years of trial and error to land on those settings. You’re in good shape ::)
Awesome vid - thanks!
thanks so much :)
yo man, awesome video. subscribed
Glad to have you on board. What pushed you to sub?
So nice. I know it's hard work, but you make it look a lot easier than it really is.
Excellent Video!
Haha takes years to get into the groove. Thanks for the kind d words!
Stellar video...you've gained a sub!!!
Poorboyjoseph thanks so much! Glad to have you along
This was great!
Thanks for watching
Really like your videos.. your pictures are awesome and your video presentation is so detailed and useful .. hope to see more such videos..cheers
Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words! Any requests for a future bts?
@@Reggiebphoto no specific request, I love all your BTS and gear talks..u deserve a lot more subscribers
Amazing man
Thanks!
Ganda ng kuha mo ♥️ sobra
Top!!! Thanks
Very well done, 16 + 56 works well. The reflection shot was cool. I usually to vertical panoramas when it is workable.
I do those as well. But for indoor churches the technique doesn’t work as good, haha.
@@Reggiebphoto I have managed :)But I have do lots of Panos :P
Really appreciate the new bts video format. A lot of great info. 👏 Also, if you ever need a videographer to follow you on a wedding day, I am a local Fuji shooter😉
Haha interesting proposition :)
Great work Reggie, you are an excellent photographer! congratulations. I switched from Canon to Sony and I am very heavily invested in the Sony system now. But I do like Fuji.
Thanks for the kind words
This was great man!
Appreciate the kind words!
Cool behind the scenes video!
Thansk!
Great video; it's very helpful to see your EXIF data. I would love to see your 56mm f/1.2 review video. It's my favourite Fuji lens.
Definitely will come soon
Amazing video 👏
Awesome job! 👍🏼
Appreciate the kind words!
Such a solid choice to use the 35mm for that window portrait. Your best pic of the bunch imo.
Mike Francis it was my favorite shot as well. Stepping back for the flatter perspective was key
