Respects to the couple and family for letting you experiment

Next in the series: Can we film a wedding on a Ring Doorbell

What a beautiful couple, the bride has such a pretty smile 💘 The wedding filmed on an iPhone isn’t a bad idea at all it gives sincerity, a real life vibe and a great atmosphere. Amazing!

The way you paired the lyrical sentiment of "I don't want to be here without you..." with shots of them joined as a couple were not lost on me. Thank you for making this.

You can tell that it's not all about the gear you use but it's more about the skills you have. Well done guys. Really enjoyed watching this video 😄

I feel this episode has a deeper lesson That editing can be more important than the gear you use. Well done guys👍

I love it when you go near your actual subject and turn at some point while moving towards a specific object and then boom back to the subject but now go backwards slowly while framing the first subject....done better with when editing session

honestly mindblowing at the final product! post editing played a huge part with the audio overlaps, voice overs & slow mo

Thanks a lot. Also to the family for letting you make their wedding an example of an excellent job.

I actually shot a wedding on an iPhone. Did it for a friend as a favor and it turned out pretty well. Was able to produce a decent hi light film.

When I saw this film first, I cried. The wedding is powerful and I also realized the influence of wedding wideo. Thank you!

I was sceptical watching the footage in each section of the video by itself, but when you put it together the final product at the end looked amazing! I seriously forgot what you filmed it on. Just goes to show how important the skills are, great job guys!

I love how you just ask for what you want! I do the same. Some people think I am crazy but either I missed something or just simply wanted more from the moment. I have so much to learn!

I would say of course you can - the question is "Should you?" One of the definite negatives is that you are now presenting yourself with the same equipment as used by "uncle Jack". The perception might be temporary, and of course the results are key, but showing up to film a wedding with iphones, I think you are lucky that you had great clients. I can see that going very badly with people who worry about the perception of their friends and relatives that they went cheap. I actually know people that have large rigs with matte boxes just for that reason. I also think that it's great that you guys dress in casual black t-shirts so people know who is in the film crew. But blending in at a live event will get you more relaxed and natural footage. And I have been to a wedding in the past where the film crew - was so distracting that it no longer felt like a wedding and felt like you were watching the taping of a TV show. The event is for the couple and their friends and families and the video should not be distracting their eyes from the ceremony. Keep in mind that although average people don't know much about filming - they do know what an iphone is and when someone sends them other footage shot from attendants of the wedding, from an iphone. They will notice that it looks a lot like your footage and wonder why they paid you in the first place.

Now in the 15 series , they addressed all the problems Ig , action mode , 2x teleohoto , no shaky videos , no need of gimbal

This is a great channel! I only caught sight of you folks in recent times, but it’s now among my favourite channels.

I liked this video. I'm new to vidoegraphy and was not aware of some of the 'problems' of filming with an iphone. I really enjoyed the video. I have also enjoyed reading all the comments below and learning from the feedback provided by other people who 'critiqued' the process and the idea of filming a wedding with an iphone. For those who are not professional videographes there is a lot you can learn here and be better informed if you view the video and read all the feedback provided. An excellent job, well done!

Dude!! I would have been super nervous 😂 I’ve cut iPhone 13 clips into my wedding edits before but I’ve never shot an entire wedding on a phone!

Man, you don't know how grateful I am right now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I think it’s the angles, the details and how you’ve edited it all together to tell a story, more than the equipment that makes it good video. Which is a great lesson in itself

Watching this video made me feel like, I am actually there with them while they were shooting... Beautifully explained

About three months ago, i actually filmed an entire wedding with an iPhone 13 pro max...no rigs, just hand held. The outcome was amazing! You guys killed it👍

The quality and technique used in this video were amazing. Of course 90% of it is the operator not the camera, but there are a few moments where the iPhone completely blew out in the bright lights that I don't think would have happened with a DSLR. Either way, as a fellow iPhone filmmaker, I love how you tried to shoot a full wedding video on an iPhone and it really showed me the power of iPhone video. Cool idea!

such an amazing and a simple wedding organized. so beautiful!. the creativity and directing behind the filming is so impressing.

Excellent job! Love what you guys did here!

I don’t know if it’s me, but I think they lacked ND filters in front of the external lenses. You can’t shoot in bright daylight without them, there wasn’t any motion blur in most of the shots. I felt the video was always quite overexposed, you can just shoot a bit underexposed and then lift the shadows in post (LOG helps a lot). Preserving highlights is a MUST when getting a “filmic look”. Plus iPhones don’t have a “terrible dynamic range”: the 13 Pro Max can shoot 10 bit HDR without a problem. Put the newest RED camera on a counter light and it will still have it’s problems with clipping bright areas, even in RAW. What I would have done is film at an even tighter focal length to avoid showing those high contrast parts, since it’s slow mo there is no problem with stability. Also I would have had more detail shots: iPhones have a decent depth of field when the subject is really close. For example: a static shot of a flower or something and having the couple pass behind it without the framing moving at all. May I remind you that movement has to be motivated: if all the video has it, it gets kind of boring. Another example: if all the shots you show are static and suddenly when the bride comes in the church you push in: that subconsciously tells the audience “this is really important”. It is an element of storytelling that is used all the time. AND not use every clip (out if 10, 2 or 3 end up in the final edit). Other things that would help are to blur the background with masks in After Effects (believe me, it is worth it, for you can also re-light the whole scene and disguise nasty fragments of the image), add better sound design, remove those characteristic phone flares and replace them with DSLR’s, add a bit of softness (so that it isn’t strangely over sharpened), and overall add more emotion to the final product with some good color grading (again, LOG is mandatory, that is why Filmic Pro is so good). One last thing would be to shoot in a better codec: the 13 Pro Max easily shoots Pro Res. The difference in camera quality between Apple’s economic version of the phone and the expensive one is actually mind-blowing. It is not the camera, but the artist behind it that makes a film look awesome. Most cinema cameras in the 1990s had a lower dynamic range and yet they where exposed perfectly thanks to great DPs. Now we have much better tools in our pockets: use them with artistry. After all, a video is nothing else that “moving paintings”: each frame tells a story, whether it’s good or bad.

Looks great! Love the enthusiasm of the couple and their party 🎊

As a wedding photographer of many years who's dabbled with some video work similar to this, it's pretty amazing what you can do with phones today if you, as was shown, take proper time to prepare and have the right tools and skills. Amazing edit and I'm sure Peter and Ellie were thrilled with the turnout!

That Moment telephoto lense gives a nice bit of natural bokeh when paired to the main camera of the iPhone, that made such a nice difference from the get go.

Gorgeous, amazing work both of you !!

This would be the most honest camera review than any of other tech reviewers out there. You should do more this these

I appreciate the effort you put in to this and this is probably one of the best tries to “film a wedding with an iPhone” that I’ve seen. But with that being said, you can’t avoid the iPhone colour, not without a log profile. You can’t avoid poor dynamic range and most def you can’t avoid that nasty flaring when light hits the lens directly. Also all the S line up from DJI is working perfectly for heavier set up, they are pretty bad with light set ups from Ronin S till the last one. I spent too much time trying to balance and calibrate to perfection a A6300 with a 35mm on a Ronin S and still I had a few issues. Same thing with the RS 2. What I would do is spend a shit tone on lighting because we all know the enemy of the iPhone, not enough light. Some shots are actually perfect & 99% of the people can’t tell what is it you shoot with. Either way, you’ve got some balls heading to a wedding with iPhones and I respect that, filming a behind the scenes at the same time for you channel too? Damn. Good job

Brilliant tips and amazing final edit! The ending track is as beautiful as the Bride and Groom! Congrats and God Bless!

Wow what an incredible video! I am absolutely blown away with how well the content came out on the iPhone, it was put together so well ❤

8:19 , the most honest thing I have ever heard "you don't have to embrace, just big smile" Thanks for the tutorial !

Great outcome and very brave to shoot a wedding with iPhones. I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max to shoot photos and videos at Bodybuilding events and then upload to social media with practical no post editing. The competitors don’t even realise the content is from a smart phone. They are more concerned that decent usable content is uploaded quickly to Instagram.

This inspires me to do better for my first wedding video! Thanks for sharing lots of tips🥰

Years ago a friend wanted to hire me to do her wedding video, but lacked the budget. On the wedding day, I came up with my iPhone SE (the first one) and a small gimbal and shot her wedding video. They were so happy, and so was I. The quality was already pretty good and I its such a small piece of gear that it was easy to shoot while dancing. I'll add using a good set of mics to the cellphone wedding setup

Even with a phone you can make wedding videos . It’s your skill that matters and your skills are out of this world ❤

Some really helpful advice in your film regarding kit to use and technique. What did surprise me was the amount of direction you were giving the couple and their guests. I've always approached making a wedding video as if I was a 'fly on the wall' just observing and being as unobtrusive as possible. How do people generally react to being, albeit in a small way, directed?

To be honest for a video, we just need these things you've said in the video but one of the major thing is the color grading as well. The music and cuts and the aspect ratio plays a role in making it to feel like a very high budget production as well

This is something to behold. You guys are doing great.

I love ur videos . U guys are the best. Really learning a lot

Parabéns pela iniciativa de compartilhar conhecimento e experiências aqui. 👏👏👏👏 Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷

great video , congratulations for the excellent work , very cool to be able to use moment lenses , but I prefer to use a variable filter , that would help a lot when shooting outdoors 👍 God bless you all .

Great work!! So good that when I was looking at the final video I forgot it was shot on a phone!

Wow! That was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring lesson. This is the first video that I've watched from your channel and I just subscribed. Can't wait to learn more, keep it up! 🔥🔥

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Amazing & Excellent! I would've never guessed that video footage from a cell phone would look soooo good!👊🏾🔥🔥🔥

Dude.. this was amazing, thanks for chronicling this. I'm a super novice, but I'm tired of lugging around my DSLR to family events and have been looking for some simple tips for using an iPhone to get the job done. Much appreciated

loving the chromatic aberration on the moment lenses, just perfect for someones special day

WOW,... outstanding job with the footage and techniques described.

Very good job But i hope you shot the wedding with your dslr for the client

I'm in full support of this video as it's one of the best attempts i've seen on making iphone footage good, but sadly the whole "avoiding the iphone look" chapter all look like bad iphone footage. it's definitely the colors and AI skin tone color science. It's horrid and I don't know anyone who understands why this happens with phone footage. Also the team forgot about nd filters!! motion blur is a huge things that makes amateur footage look amateur, but having zero motion blur from an iphone with no depth of field makes it even worse

Really good job thanks for your insight

Wow that’s impressively awesome! My favourite was the Night shots, Beautiful!

I'm form india...& i love this Wedding culture ❤️

Looks great guys, as a wedding videographer, this is a project I've always wanted to try myself. I noticed that you didn't cover the audio during the video, but I assume you guys recorded that separately out of the PA like you normally would and synced that up later. Also I was wondering if you shot the speeches and if you used tri-pods to capture this part of the day as I couldn't see speeches covered in the finished edit :) Well done guys.

This is the only time i Subscribed Immediately. With thoses information you're sharing... You guys deserved it. have a great day!

This is one of the best review and wedding photography i have seen online this days

The video turned out amazing. Phones can definitely do the job. W3ll down and great lessons here

Moment also makes really good filter adapters for nd filters, diffusion, etc. 👍🏽 for that “film look”

Skills are everything. Nice job guys🎉

I didn’t see 20 minutes fly by! Thank you guys for the tips❕🎬📷⚡💫

Just one problem that i was able to notice was video being jittery…other than that u guys nailed it 🔥🔥🔥👍love your videos❤️

Really great tips! One thing that would bother me as the client is, your use of the word fake. It’s just not nice to think back on all the “fake” things I was told to do on my weeding day. Maybe words like “act” or “pretend” is a bit better or even just instruction for a scene/shot 🎥🤷🏻‍♂️

Nicely done! There still is a difference especially with the depth of field but your skills are top notch! Only fellow people in the same industry would probably notice.

I feel like editing is also really important which is exactly why this wedding video looks a lot blander then it should. I’ve made a few wedding videos and graduation ceremonies of my own on iPhone 13/11 and they’re way much better than the example shown in this video. Despite the high storage usage i always recommend 4K 60fps. And editing is THE MAIN KEY. Light leaks, transitions, text, split video

fun video and well done! i run my channel with mostly iphone shots. with most people watching content on small screens, no one sees the difference

great video. the motion is my only gripe, but the shots look great.

so great. Thank you guys for the great content.

TNice tutorials is actually a very good and straight forward tutorial. No having ask questions or guess, no over-explaining elents, and brings

I think this would have been impressive if I haven´s seen AMAZING stuff done with the same phone, shots are fine, you need filters for dynamic range and colorization with that range, I think the final result could be like 10 times better with more editing and those 2 things

I was always dreaming of an iPhone as my main camera, but as we clearly can see here, the quality especially regarding depth of field and colours is so poor compared to a real camera. We still have to wait for either a better cinematic mode with 4k and 24/60 frames or much bigger sensors on mobiles.

I also film my brother wedding video with only an Iphone 7 and no equipments. The result is actually beautiful. I love watching your videos to have more experience in film making.

This is amazingg.. it's proving that skills you have is more important. i mean balancing all, between skills and gear... love the results, the music sounds legit too...

Imagine you pay someone to come and film your wedding and they show up and use their iPhone hahaha

Considering the challenge you did a great job! But if I was a client, I’d be so mad. You can definitely tell it was shot with a phone. The lack of depth and over blown highlights is cringe. But everything else (story, editing, shot selection) was on point. 👍 To answer the question, no I don’t think you can shoot a wedding with an iPhone. Unless it’s for free or if the budget is really small.

Really appreciate this, thanks.

This video inspired me so much. I bought the iPhone 14pro and a gimbal and a lens and I have been shooting and editing some amazing footage all on my phone. This is the video that kicked it all off. Thank you 🙏

I only shoot pro level DSLRs/L Lenses/Etc. because when ppl look at me with it, they feel comfortable knowing that the gear is professional. It’s not uncommon for multiple ppl to ask, “So what is that? The 5D? The R5?” Regardless of if they know what the gear does, they are somewhat familiar these days so it helps ease their discomfort by saying it’s “pro level”. I said that to say you can definitely shoot it from an iPhone, but I’d never do that simply because if they know that’s what you shot it on, it’ll subconsciously degrade the final product. That’s just how humans are wired.

Ohhh! That's truly unbelievable... What wonderful work! I'm wondering how you guys managed this couple to be agreed for shooting with an iPhone!

This was awesome!! Thank you for putting this together 🙌🏽 i’m curious, what lights were used during the reception? They look compact and super bright

Awesome video! Thanks so much.

I thought this was such an interesting experiment and the challenges/results were good to see. I think ultimately, a big part of wedding photography/videography is about optics and how you work with the couple and their family and friends - and I just don't see this being "acceptable" in a wedding scenario for a long long time. When I shoot with my smaller mirrorless and a pancake lens, I get way more Uncle Bobs coming up to me at a reception asking about my camera specs, second guessing my expertise, etc. than when I use my larger DSLR, with a battery pack, and my heaviest largest lens. What they see dictates how they feel about you as a creative, and I can't imagine the shock you'd get from guests by using an iPhone, even if your couple knew and signed off on it in advance. 😂 But beyond the logistical challenges (the overheating, dynamic range) I think it's unfair because the footage looked totally serviceable!

I’m nervous for you guys just watching this 😆, what I do know is the iPhone 13 HDR is Phenomenal, but the lens flairs are too much for me 🤦🏾‍♂️ . I believe the manual features may be better in the moment app but the HDR works better in the native camera app.

Hi guys, very clear and useful video for people trying to use their cell for filming 👍🏻

Wow. Very nice shoot. And congrats to the couple.

Why an 18mm all day though? I think a 35 or 50 would've made a huge difference in taking away from the iphone look. Also, The post editing could've been better if the lopsided clips were leveled out.

wow that was amazing and brilliant sir. thank u very much sir i am from india and watch all ur KZfaq videos. great job sir sharing with us the professional knowledge u have got. i just love ur hole team sir❤️❤️❤️

Magnifique les gars bravo 🍾.

Great job buddy & Final result was amazing ❤️❤️

Love this video! This give me confidence to use my iPhone as a 3rd camera at my weddings! Maybe a 2nd camera.... maybe a 1st??? THANKS!

Dude filmed a wedding in iPhone and the tutorial of that in DSLR 😄. Anyway it was an awesome video to watch👏👏

Great video. Congrats to that dude for outshooting his coverage by a mile.

I cried at the end. Love the video and the process.❤️

You guys did an awesome job!

its not about the camera it's about the person behind the camera ❤

man he is so smooth with his walk while filming..

As a new videographer with Nikon camera..l appreciate all the pointers. Plusr congratulations to Peter and Ellie..😍😍💖

I'm just noticing and wondering about the smoothness of motion. Does it seem that some of the shots are a little unsteady? Even with your Ronin? I wonder what this would have looked like using the iPhone's stabilization algorithm. i.e., do you need the Ronin at all? Would a grip with iphone stabilization on give better or equal results? Would a small monopod work?
