How to Film a Wedding BY YOURSELF - A Solo Shooter's Guide
So many people look at filming a wedding by yourself as a daunting task, but with these simple tips and tricks, you'll be on your way to solo shooting a wedding by yourself in no time! Although many wedding videographers use two or even three shooters, the reality is that you can make high quality wedding videos by yourself, using only one camera. I've traveled the world shooting in the most incredible places and venues, and by the end of this video I hope you feel more confident in approaching weddings the way that I do when it comes to tackling a wedding day and you're the only shooters there!

As somebody who is a wedding photographer and videographer, I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to see the rare professional who only thinks about their work. That having been said, most people are super gracious and once you correct them a few times they’ll get into the flow of working with somebody else. Definitely looking into that lens holster - thanks!

With or without a second shooter, these are wonderful tips. I’d add a note about sound. Great audio is as equally important as the visual. Weather it is micing the groom or tapping in to the DJ’s sound board, you can also achieve that by arriving early. Keep up the great work man!

The handheld point is so good. I started last wedding season into using the final for certain shots, then dropped it for a monopod. Now I’m leaving toward shooting handheld.

There's a really really good video called: Gimbal VS Handheld - WHEN & WHY - Camera movement for CINEMATIC VIDEO....KZfaqr: Jacques Crafford. I can't even express how it important handheld is especially because a wedding is full of emotion. And he talks about feelings/emotion with visuals to show you comparisons.

I’m not 100% sure on that, it’s education you are paying for, so if that’s adobes only requirement then yes, but if they require a email verification that you’re a student, then maybe not

You should never be switching lenses during a ceremony. Backpack or not. Pick a lens and make it work!
