I just did my very first wedding shoot yesterday, it was for a family friend. We were unbelievably lucky that he shots turned out slightly better than okay and weren’t terrible 😅 Just discovered your channel and I can tell that I’ll be watching these behind the scenes videos religiously ❤️
Lol I like how you discreetly told that videographer what to do without being rude in a way when you told her if you want to get them walking down the aisle.
You really have balls shooting with an 85 prime at 1/100 at a bridal reception. I guess you don't mind getting some photos on the softer end of things. Thanks for sharing your experience behind the lens!
The fact that you did this with a prime is nuts already, now thinking about the fact that you did this with only one body and one primes is absolutely crazy. You're incredible mate
Dude, kudos to you: You are a straightforward shooter (bad pun I guess), honest and open. I appreciate that. I dealing with a lot right now but watching your videos makes me want to go back to my wedding photography and even buy you lunch.
Subbed because you are joking, taking great photos and love your personality. Didnt think about sticking to one lens, especially an 85mm the whole time.
The cometary is so good - haha! “Look like 5 shooters.” - Yep, I feel it! Excellent! We are shooting a wedding this Saturday - one of us is running an 85mm f1.8, exclusively, for the day.
Great video and good commentary. Very educational. In case you didn't know this, custom Setting d3 allows you to make ISO visible on top LCD at all times. It will override approximated shot count, but that info is still also visible on at viewfinder.
Curious why you feel that way. I'm asking because I'm getting another DSLR and am torn between the 70-200 and the 85mm. I like the idea of having 200mm so I can get shots from a distance and Nikon's 70-200 is very, very good. But the 85mm is amazing also and perfect for portraits. I was almost set on the 70-200 until I saw this video. The 70-200 is so big and HEAVY! OMG. So I am now considering the 85mm because of this video. Currently on my D750 I have the 24-120 and I also have the 14-24 but I never use it for weddings. I'd love to hear your thoughts on why you think a prime lens would be stressful (have never used one).
@@cslattfri If you were to have to choose between one or the other, I'd definitely suggest the 70-200 as it's a wonderful all-rounder. The 85 (1.8 or perhaps, 1.4) gives you that extra creamy background and it's super sharp... on the other hand -you have to zoom with your feet and that's not great at weddings when you can find yourself either darting around too much, or worse, being backed into a corner unable to get the frame :)
@@poopdaddy4217 That's one of the things that appeal to me about the 85mm 1.4- the extra creamy background. But I suspect you are right. There will be instances that it would be difficult to use my feet as a zoom. Now I have a new thought process: buy the 70-200 now and save for the 85mm. I don't do a ton of weddings, I will have to hustle to get more so I can justify the purchase. Thanks so much for responding. What you said I knew in my heart, I guess I just had to hear it. When I win lotto, I'll have them ALL!!!!!!!!!!
@@cslattfri Thank you for the kind reply. I doubt you will regret going for the 70-200, it's a beautiful lens and very versatile. If you wanted to add the 85mm into the mix, you could save quite a bit going for the 1.8 ... I personally own that as well as the 70-200 and use it predominantly when I have greater control over the environment and subjects.... Either way - the 70-200 will be your favourite lens in no time, I'm sure :) Happy shooting! :)
@@Happymali10 I went with the 70-200. I figured it's called the "wedding lens" for a reason. Now I have my eye on a 35mm prime. IT IS NEVER ENDING!! Gotta save my pennies for that one though! I'm out of cash! :)
Hello we hope all is well . It is a must to have a photographer with a sense of humor. your Humour is amazing thanks for sharing and the pictures were awesome and the way you edited is also great. Kind Regards Sarah and Glenn .
Only thing with the 85mm is u have to stand a mile away to fit everyone together in a group pic but it's soooo worth the walk back once going back and looking at ur work at how gorgeous this lens takes photos.
Dude how crazy different a style, but very cool. I have been shooting since the 1980's and it is refreshing to see the newer style. I always use what I have which is my workhorse 35-350 3.5-4.5L and 20-35 2.8-3.5 on my Canon 5Dmk 2. Which was an upgrade from my Canon 40D then 50D. Any who I am here in an overly saturated market and studying SEO to try and grasp some presence and ie work. You are doing a great job and thanks for the inspiration.
First of all, congrats for sharing this amazing experience!!! Second, it's crazy to see how good the results came out, knowing that you used just a single lens... It got me thinking about my life and the entire way I have in front of me, covering weddings (only two, so far)... Amazing video, confrats!!!
On some weddings if you would collect all the smarphone recordings from the guests and process it, you could simply render a full 3D 360 movie out of it.
Shooting my third wedding this weekend! I felt myself start to get nervous so naturally, I took to UA-cam to find out how I can get better photos. Just rented an 85mm lens, it appears to be a fan favorite, and I'm excited to see if my photos come out better with this lens! Also, your video was very entertaining and refreshing! I feel seen lol thanks for the free info!
Super cool you did this with an 85. The only prime I have is a sigma 50 1.4. I have a small wedding coming up and that's all I have for a prime. Thinking an 85 might be better suited as I can stand farther back. Thanks for this.
This is my first time watching a video on your channel. I think I laughed more in the first 10 mins with this video then most videos I watch.... And I watch a lot of videos. Thanks Manny for the suggestion add 👍
I like the moments but the images I am seeing look soft and the contrast is a little lower than what I prefer. Almost has a sepia toned look. I agree the lens is awesome.
Cool stuff! I got wedding coming and was thinking to going 85mm 1.8 prime + 24mm 1.4 prime instead of my Tamron 28-75 2.8...I love to shoot wide open but I'm afraid to miss stuff without zoom...
Subbed in the first 5 minutes. You really seem like you know your stuff at a high level. And I'm eyeballing that patreon already. Keep up the great work.
at a weeding i think the most best lens for overall is the 35mm f1.8 or f1.4 with an ND filter if it is out side and sunny. The 85 is not ideeal, you need space to move ... anyway great test overall :D
Great work Taylor! I’ve primarily stuck to using a 35 & 85 combo for weddings and it’s just right every time. Although I must admit I’ve been getting bored of the 85 of late and been shooting more 135 just to get a little closer and wanting more Bokeh. As single body and lens setup I’d have to go for a 1.4 50mm
Do you prefer to run your shutter lower when indoors apposed to running the ISO higher? Noticed you mainly used 1/100. Do you think adjusting the ISO higher to make shutter like 1/160 to prevent motion blur would be too grainy?
I'm about to shoot a wedding today after not much practice with weddings. (I'm more so in events.) This video really helped me calm my nerves with how simply straightforward your shooting style is! I love my 85mm, definitely gonna use that a lot today!! I love that you're not trying too hard when directing them - I always feel so much pressure to make them laugh and tell stupid jokes lol. Looks like I really don't have to try as hard as I have been! Thanks Taylor, I may support you on Patreon super soon :)
Please explain why not use auto white balance at 10:40. Is it not accurate? Do you have any tips onto how to read the light better when possible? I find it difficult from switching one room to another and forgetting to change the white balance. I usually just leave it on auto to focus more on shooting. Thoughts please, greatly appreciated.
Your work is awesome!!! I love watching these videos! Amazing wedding photography, videography, and amazing youtube work and editing as well. Keep it up! 😁
I have a Nikon D750 and will be getting a D850 very soon and phasing out an older camera. I'm not sure which lens I'll get more use out of for weddings- the 70-200mm or the 85mm prime for the D850. On my D750 I mostly use the 24-120mm. I also have the 14-24mm wide angle but never use it for weddings. Not yet anyway. If you had the choice of either the 70-200 or the 85mm which would you choose? I like the idea of having 200mm so I can get shots at a good distance but the lens is so big and heavy. And the 85mm is great for portraits. I was set on getting the 70-200 until I watched this video. And now I'm torn. I would really love your opinion on this. I am 100% sure I won't be unhappy with either lens. I can't afford both at the moment as they are both high end. I do need to pick one. As always I appreciate your videos. I'm hoping your opinion will help me along to an actual decision. I am a middle child, this is difficult for me. LMAO.
Great video! As a photographer myself, shooting a wedding is my white whale. I'm terrified to do it but there isn't really a better venue for showing off your skills.
Super glad I found your channel, you're both super talented and have a lot of personality, which make the videos a joy to watch. I guess my only gripe is a stylistic one. I can't say that I am a fan of the super faded look you go for. feels like it sorta degrades your beautiful images
So, if you *had* to shoot a wedding with only one lens, you'd choose the 85? I'm going FF, and can only afford one lens rn (no renting options in my country), and am bummed as to which one to buy. I love the 35mm, and am definitely getting it sooner or later, but am afraid that it won't suffice for weddings, and I won't have enough pics with blurry background. Even though I know lots of togs say they'd choose the 35 if they had only one lens. I in general don't like the looks of the 85, but it would be better for many reasons (I'm prob buying 70-200 one day, or 135 if they make it for the Z series, or with the adapter). But I'm also afraid I won't be able to shoot the getting ready and church parts as it can easily happen that the room is small, and some weddings here are done in small chapels. And I neither like nor don't like the 50. Since I'm basically using it on a crop frame (35 DX), I always feel I'm either missing that extra space in the frame, or that extra reach
This is the "easiest" First Dance (17:14) because it was done right after they intro (kudos)!!! I've NEVER in my 40yrs shooting had a couple that had done so!! If only I was so lucky!
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto(scratching top of head): Hmm...go figure! Must be demographics, as that was the case when I first started shooting weddings in the Detroit market, during the film era. You were not consider a "professional photographer" if you were not shooting with a medium format. As a matter of fact, many of us used that fact as a tool during the wedding consultation to differentiate us from the weekend warriors. However, just 4 hours away in the Chicago market, 35 mm reigned as king...demographics. Great BTS video. (Oh, and I corrected my typos in my original comment...darn auto-correct!)
No Pizza? Noooooo heheh!!! Hi Tailor, really like seeing your videos, not a wedding photographer but liked them anyway heheh! Keep it up, I have a question and love to have you’re advice, between the Nikon 85mm 1.4G (heavily used) vs Tamron 85mm 1.8 vc (new)... where would I spend my money on your opinion? Thanks
Taylor Jackson thanks man, really appreciate the response. Keep up the videos, specially the behind the scenes, I really like seeing them. I bought an A7III for video, maybe I’ll get the Nikon 85mm 1.4g, I still prefer shooting pics with Nikon D750, go figure lol 😂
Wedding Shoot go pro videos absolutely suck... THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE VIDEOS. This is well thought out, full of personality and valuable perspective. SUBSCRIBED!
Does anybody know how Taylor manages to change from 1/400 shutter speed to 1/1250 in an instant as soon as he turns to outside and the sun gets brighter? He shoots in full manual so surely not S mode? Colour me impressed, would love to learn that!
New subbie here. Super impressed. Can't believe you didn't use any external lights especially at that group shots. Omg, all natural lights. And also your editing is simple and looks very natural. Super impressive
Is it normal to miss focus too much with an 85mm? I made my first work with one of those today, but the Canon one. In 2.8 the depth of field is crazy thin already. But one thing you are doing and I didn't is getting full body pictures, certainly the distance helps.
Hey, Taylor, amazing insights as always! Here's a difficult one for you. What do yo do in terms of posing when the groom is shorter that the bride and not happy about it? I mean you can't make him step on a rock or something all the time because it's not practical and will hit his confidence and you can't do full body shots. And you can't make the bride stay low all the time. That totally eliminates the walking towards/away from you full body shot which I love. Have you shot a couple like that, what did you do? Thanks!
OMG, I just like your music...and I am here only for your music. Maybe after watching all of your videos I will start taking photos at wedding :) ;) :)
The 10-15 year tip is such a life saver! I always choose too many images and over deliver, and that tip has changed the game
Inspiring! Your sense of humor reminds me to relax during photoshoots!
I think this is my favourite of your full wedding day vids. I've binged on all of them over the last few days, and am now a patreon supporter!
Thanks Erin! Happy to have you on Patreon as well!
I just did my very first wedding shoot yesterday, it was for a family friend. We were unbelievably lucky that he shots turned out slightly better than okay and weren’t terrible 😅

I normally get pretty bored when watching these full day wedding videos but you make them so fun and entertaining while being informative !
"Let me know, when I'm hit by a car" :-). You are so hilarious...
You can usually see it on their faces if you're about to get hit by something
"Shout out to this spoon..." And to this artist. Thank you for this video - gorgeous!
Lol I like how you discreetly told that videographer what to do without being rude in a way when you told her if you want to get them walking down the aisle.

Dzaayum... he did good tho
Toooo smooth. You make this look to easy. Great work as always.
Also 11:13 where you mention going into crop mode, that has helped me so much to just get that little extra that we all strive for
Great video and good commentary. Very educational. In case you didn't know this, custom Setting d3 allows you to make ISO visible on top LCD at all times. It will override approximated shot count, but that info is still also visible on at viewfinder.
Interesting! I didn't know this. Thanks for letting me know!
Been shooting weddings for a few years now and always come back to one of Taylor’s videos before a wedding.. thanks a bunch for the content
I love those Nikon shutter sound, it's so satisfying.
I love the 85. On the other hand, primes are stressful at weddings.

Incredibly well done - one of my Favourites.

You’re just having fun and playing now 😎
@Taylor Jackson thank you for including the presets' instruction and all the information on the Nikon D850. Kudos kiddo - Job more than well done.
You're amazing! Personality is key and I totally lol'd watching this. Learning AND laughter.
I love your videos man. Very entertaining and educational. Makes me want to shoot more.
Subbed in the first 5 minutes. You really seem like you know your stuff at a high level. And I'm eyeballing that patreon already. Keep up the great work.
at a weeding i think the most best lens for overall is the 35mm f1.8 or f1.4 with an ND filter if it is out side and sunny. The 85 is not ideeal, you need space to move ... anyway great test overall :D
Why an nd filter?
For hard light if u shoot at 1.2 iso 100. If u chose a faster speed u will get the photo very dark ...
Great work Taylor! I’ve primarily stuck to using a 35 & 85 combo for weddings and it’s just right every time.

Taylor you are a LEGEND
You are a real professional @Taylor Jackson 🙌🙌
how did you get that group photo with 10-12 people at F1.8? how is everyone sharp?
With how much distance he put between him and the group, 1.8 isn't too terrible. Some people may be a little oof, but it would be hard to tell.
close to f4?
At the start he says F4,5,6 to keep everyone sharp
If you are talking about 9:05 he’s shooting at 2.8 not 1.8
Amazing video!!!! I’m very interested on how you have your GoPro mounted on your camera. Do you have any videos on that?
Great video! As a photographer myself, shooting a wedding is my white whale. I'm terrified to do it but there isn't really a better venue for showing off your skills.
What an awesome video ! Thank you for sharing your wedding day work and some tips on your workflow
The entire video is life goals 🤩
Awesome, this is very helpful. Great video, keeping sharing! Cheers.
dude, best commentary and sounds effects
Best photographer
Not a wedding photographer, yet i fully enjoyed the commentary. lol. well done.
I absolutely love shooting with my 85. I end up using it for most family shoots I do.
Same. Sometimes it's the only lens I bring to engagement sessions
Absolutely love your video, your sense of humor and your footage make me can't take my eyes off the screen !!

I'd say it happens like 30% of the time with me now. Way up from 2 years ago where it maybe happened once or twice my entire season.

Taylor Jackson thanks man, really appreciate the response. Keep up the videos, specially the behind the scenes, I really like seeing them. I bought an A7III for video, maybe I’ll get the Nikon 85mm 1.4g, I still prefer shooting pics with Nikon D750, go figure lol 😂
Thanks dude you reminded me of what it means to be a f. artist, this is rockstar level business.
Wedding Shoot go pro videos absolutely suck... THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE VIDEOS. This is well thought out, full of personality and valuable perspective. SUBSCRIBED!
Damn! I love it!
I feel that my photography will level up 🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing
Does anybody know how Taylor manages to change from 1/400 shutter speed to 1/1250 in an instant as soon as he turns to outside and the sun gets brighter? He shoots in full manual so surely not S mode? Colour me impressed, would love to learn that!
This is out first time here love that your actualy talk during the videos great work
Dude, you are funny AF! LOL I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the behind the scenes POV.
Wow awsome photography
You had me at "wahpow". Excellent sound effects= instant sub.
MY FAVOrite UA-cam video. I think I will watch It when I have bad days and I need a pick me up..at least the first 4 min that I watched so far..
Phenomenal video boss, really enjoyed watching this. I'm now a fan! Keep it up and have a great day
You know this is actually an underdeveloped passion of mine
Why haven't I tried to watch this
Your PHOTOGRAPHY is really super cool...
New subbie here. Super impressed. Can't believe you didn't use any external lights especially at that group shots. Omg, all natural lights. And also your editing is simple and looks very natural. Super impressive
thanks for sharing! Love your style of shooting, much less "Traditional" which I really don't care for. Much less intrusive and natural. Great work!
Amazing picks
You should review the Fuji 50mm f/1.0 when it arrives.
Nice video, nice photography, thanks for the video
Great video! Question. Do you ever use flash when shooting a wedding ceremony? Thanks!
Is it normal to miss focus too much with an 85mm? I made my first work with one of those today, but the Canon one. In 2.8 the depth of field is crazy thin already. But one thing you are doing and I didn't is getting full body pictures, certainly the distance helps.
You’re content is gold. Thank you
Thanks for spending the time with me!
How did you get everyone with f/1.8?
That just amazing!
Hey, Taylor, amazing insights as always!
Here's a difficult one for you. What do yo do in terms of posing when the groom is shorter that the bride and not happy about it?
I mean you can't make him step on a rock or something all the time because it's not practical and will hit his confidence and you can't do full body shots. And you can't make the bride stay low all the time. That totally eliminates the walking towards/away from you full body shot which I love.
Have you shot a couple like that, what did you do?
Thanks!
OMG, I just like your music...and I am here only for your music. Maybe after watching all of your videos I will start taking photos at wedding :) ;) :)
i real like the wedding shoots
Nicely captured 👍
The 85mm shots look much better than the 24mm ones.
Great video ! How your gopro is fixed to your DSLR ?! 🙈
I lobbb🍕the wedding photography looks so classy and elite😌
