After 6 years of shooting weddings with my wife. I finally started doing solo. I just wrapped up an edit of my first solo wedding, I was so nervous about it but I am very happy with how it turned out. Great content! Keep up the good work!

The one thing I really disagree with is "stay minimal" and pack light. Even solo I do 4 cameras, 2-6 lav mics, 2-4 reception lights, etc etc. When you shoot with only 1 or 2 cameras you're basically committed to shooting a "music video" wedding where it has pretty shots and slow motion but limits the storytelling ability and dynamic look of multicam moments.

Hmm, I feel like that would depend on the filmmaker and the circumstances. And of course every filmmaker is different and their creative capability. While I could totally manage a 3-4 camera ceremony setup and speeches set up solo. I’d rather be minimal with a 2 camera setup. Will certain things have to be sacrificed? Yes. But as long as you know what the couples expectations are you can still serve the day in a beautiful way. Zoom lenses have been my best friend for solo weddings, building scenes, and staying mobile. But I also agree to a certain extent with you!

Do you have a sample questionnaire that you could share? I'm struggling to come up with the right questions. I also don't want to leave anything out.

I've photographed a few weddings solo and even my first one ever. now, I'm starting to get into some video work and want to offer hybrid coverage and might as well try offering video only also. I'm definitely nervous about trying to do both solo, even if it's a small party and a few hours of coverage

I take pictures and shoot videos myself , it's a nightmare to overcome and get used to ,they don't want to hire a photographer and videographer separately and don't spend money for services ,poor people , but in big cities everything is as it is

Hey man! I really love seeing your shots being focused on the movement and emotion of your subjects. I've noticed in all of your broll shots of yourself you are shooting handheld. Do you shoot all handheld?

Hey Josiah, thanks so much! I do shoot hand-held, about 95% of my shots are all hand-held. Its my fav!

Sorry if this is a dumb question….. but if I film in 60fps and put it on a 24fps timeline…. If there is dialogue involved would the audio and movement from the mouth not sync? Because the mouth is moving slower?

This is only the case if you are modifying or conforming your clips within that 24p timeframe.

Do I need a second camera? I notice the various shots of the vows. Also, how do you record the bridge, groom and the receptionist?

@waynosfotos Жыл бұрын

Hee hee, i must be doing it all wrong but jokes aside. I do believe presenting a professional wedding video is alot harder than people say. You have people to work around. Different motived and unmotived shots, lens length, learning to get stabilised shots, (I don't use zoom lenses, hate them) and then you need to colour grade (pretty hard) and edit an engaging video. I am new to weddings but been making videos in other genres for 7 years. This video we are watching now of you, talking head video, is not even that easy to do well. You need good lighting sound and to be well spoken. Once again, it is not that easy, and if you want to start shooting weddings, you need to of made 100s of videos to really know what you are doing, or you are just waving a camera around. I would also not recommend hand held, most people start on a cropped sensor and a pretty telephoto lense. Shooting handheld well is very difficult to get usable footage. If you are just starting out, get a wide angle lens 35mm or 16mm for cropped sensor and use a monopod. Remember practice practice practice.
