Just wanted to say I've been shooting for many years but only recently understanding the need to not just rush and get as many great shots as possible. I made conscious effort to calm the bride at my last wedding with our pre ceremony photos for 5 mins. We were running late but the bride mentioned about 4 times throughout the day how much it had really calmed her and how much she enjoyed it / how special she had felt. Just wanted to thank you for really highlighting the importance of this.

I love it! YES YES it's so important. Glad it reinforced things you are already doing!

My method for handling stress when I’m going to shoot a wedding. Prayer🙏✝️ I pray for calmness, ability to relax and be professional and at peace. It always works.

I started photography in the film days. I still photograph as if I’m still using film! Put more thought in to the photos you take.

Great video. Very genuine. I liked it very much. Also, from your 2023 list, the SanDisk 512GB Extreme PRO CFexpress Card Type B is cheaper, $140 from B&H.

Lol okay who read the ACOTAR books here??? The wedding scene is all I could think of when you said that the bride isn’t going to do something unpredictable. 😂 (real talk though…I totally agree. I think the wedding days themselves are tiring BUT less stressful than the drive home with the SD cards haha)

So many great tips! This is my second year in business and I’ll be bringing all your knowledge to my own weddings this year 😊

I like the video. It was recommended to me. Would you be willing to share your wedding playlist that you use for relaxing? Don’t worry about being judged - stilly, fun or chill, it would be neat to hear what you like.

Hi Luke, I'm Griselda. Can you perhaps create a video specific to storytelling? I struggle with that. My photos mostly are medium distanced (not too far, not too close) and a lot of straight on looking at the cameras smiling. Thankfully though, I do give fun prompts (dancing, fake laughing, etc.) so there's a bit of genuine reactions and candid moments. When I search online, most storytelling is for fine art photography. The examples used are landscape and portraits, not many show commercial wedding examples. Can you give tips to create a better storytelling?
