Vanessa, do you have a video where you talk about your first few weddings or maybe the first year? Your videos show a commanding presence from you and it’s definitely intimidating as I start out thinking I need to be this perfect! 😅 Love you videos and checking out speed posing now! 👀

Not yet! That would be a good discussion though. I do have to say that part of how I learned to be like this was 1 - working for another Photogrpaher for 5 years and learning from him and 2 - working in a children’s photo studio and getting over my shyness and learning how to get attention ☺️

12!!!! (TWELVE!!!!) Bridesmaids!!!! WOW! That's ONE BIG Bridal Party....26 people, just incredible.... what's fun is even if you have a bridal party of 4 or 12, it's the same conversations, giggles, posing fun, lack of attention, positioning... LOL That Guy Walk... OMG LOL, ROFLMAO!!! Everyone turn towards each other and say "hey"... 😆 and they always do.... Gotta Love how the 'masks' will be the dead give away as to the time frame in history/ 😥 so GLAD thats over! SUPER GREAT VIDEO with Very CUTE Shots! Love how your assistant is on it... I haven't had the same one twice, they seem to loose focus fast 😥 TWO things I would have done, that first Large set, get the (your left side) people out from behind the bushes and in the last one move the wood benches out of frame, just so you don't have to in post for some of those shots.

It really isn't a comparison or "vs" of what is better or stylistic differences. In this video its totally situational on a wedding day. A comparison would be flash vs no flash on the same day or at least same conditions. The first part is on a very cloudy day, you could practically shoot in any direction. The second clip from an older video, is on a sunny day with light wispy clouds only. The subjects are back lit (smartly so). You have two options over expose a Stop or so for your subjects and just blow out the background loosing any details from the cherry blossoms......Or use Flash to fill in shadows while recovering some of the background detail.

You deserve a medal, what a nightmare, I'll tell you what I'd have done differently, get someone else to do it, next time I get asked to shoot a wedding I'll give you a call! 😃 I have a love/hate relationship with flash and I sometimes go to extraordinary lengths to avoid it, even LED work lights haha, light and shadow is a game, and I love it!

Wow Vanessa! How do you manage the time, or budget the time in terms of how long you need to do, say the bridal party, or all of the pre-ceremony shots and all of the post ceremony photographs when everyone just wants to get the party going? And how do you get them all to co-operate and give you the time you need. You’re very efficient and it doesn’t look like you keep folk waiting around too long.

Just curious, was this a moderate to fairly overcast day? Also, and I understand monitor issues, but in the natural light, it looked like some detail was being lost in the upper part of the dress and in the blonde hair, did you have to do a fair bit of recovery in post? Would love to see some of the final edits from the natural light.. Thanks for these videos as they get me thinking and not falling into ruts on my sessions!!!

VERY overcast day and yes some detail loss still - editing would correct it easily

Nice video.. I use Flash, only when I really have to.. otherwise, I shut it off and save the planet.. ;-) OT... I ordered my RF 135mm f1.8 as soon as it became available.. Unlike the last time, when I ordered my R5, I didn't wait a second longer than I needed to when I pre-ordered it (& waited nearly a 1/2 year before getting the R5 delivered), but when I thought I'd be among the first to get the RF-135 delivered, I am still waiting....past the 2nd shipment....etc.....smh.. Is it true that Canon prioritizes who gets pre-ordered new gear, based on their Social Media following..? I hope I get my new lens before the thick of the wedding season begins.. If that is the case, I wish Canon would just tell everyone, so I can expect to get mine after at least 6 months, rather than getting my hopes up..! :-(
