This was the line that made me hit the subscribe button. Hahaha

Best video ... not monotonous or annoying like some others ... subscribed 😄

Thanks Erin! Happy to have you on Patreon as well!

You can usually see it on their faces if you're about to get hit by something

Dzaayum... he did good tho

On some weddings if you would collect all the smarphone recordings from the guests and process it, you could simply render a full 3D 360 movie out of it.

@@michalsierzchula hahahahahahah so true Mike

Thanks for watching! You’ll do great with the lens combo.

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Was about to purchase your " Book more Weddings + bonus package " but noticed the price is in US Dollars and not Canadian! Aren't you a Canadian photographer based in Ontario Canada? Why is there no mention that the price is in fact in US dollars on your website and not Canadian? I think that is very deceptive and has just turned me off the purchase.

Global economy runs in usd and so does my online sales business sadly. If you join Patreon there’s a $50 additional coupon code that would make up for the difference (and also come with a ton of other stuff that makes it worth it- it’s $20 but you don’t have to renew next month if you don’t want) So I guess it’s only technically $30 in savings hah, but many other things

Interesting! I didn't know this. Thanks for letting me know!

Curious why you feel that way. I'm asking because I'm getting another DSLR and am torn between the 70-200 and the 85mm. I like the idea of having 200mm so I can get shots from a distance and Nikon's 70-200 is very, very good. But the 85mm is amazing also and perfect for portraits. I was almost set on the 70-200 until I saw this video. The 70-200 is so big and HEAVY! OMG. So I am now considering the 85mm because of this video. Currently on my D750 I have the 24-120 and I also have the 14-24 but I never use it for weddings. I'd love to hear your thoughts on why you think a prime lens would be stressful (have never used one).

@@cslattfri If you were to have to choose between one or the other, I'd definitely suggest the 70-200 as it's a wonderful all-rounder. The 85 (1.8 or perhaps, 1.4) gives you that extra creamy background and it's super sharp... on the other hand -you have to zoom with your feet and that's not great at weddings when you can find yourself either darting around too much, or worse, being backed into a corner unable to get the frame :)

@@poopdaddy4217 That's one of the things that appeal to me about the 85mm 1.4- the extra creamy background. But I suspect you are right. There will be instances that it would be difficult to use my feet as a zoom. Now I have a new thought process: buy the 70-200 now and save for the 85mm. I don't do a ton of weddings, I will have to hustle to get more so I can justify the purchase. Thanks so much for responding. What you said I knew in my heart, I guess I just had to hear it. When I win lotto, I'll have them ALL!!!!!!!!!!

@@cslattfri Thank you for the kind reply. I doubt you will regret going for the 70-200, it's a beautiful lens and very versatile. If you wanted to add the 85mm into the mix, you could save quite a bit going for the 1.8 ... I personally own that as well as the 70-200 and use it predominantly when I have greater control over the environment and subjects.... Either way - the 70-200 will be your favourite lens in no time, I'm sure :) Happy shooting! :)

@@Happymali10 I went with the 70-200. I figured it's called the "wedding lens" for a reason. Now I have my eye on a 35mm prime. IT IS NEVER ENDING!! Gotta save my pennies for that one though! I'm out of cash! :)

Hi...how did the wedding go?

@@vernonsmith6176 Great! Thanks for asking, definitely the best pictures I've taken yet :D

Hah every day for a few more days! See you in Patreon! Podcast up today there :)

It's the best!

Same. Sometimes it's the only lens I bring to engagement sessions

I'd say it happens like 30% of the time with me now. Way up from 2 years ago where it maybe happened once or twice my entire season.

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto(scratching top of head): Hmm...go figure! Must be demographics, as that was the case when I first started shooting weddings in the Detroit market, during the film era. You were not consider a "professional photographer" if you were not shooting with a medium format. As a matter of fact, many of us used that fact as a tool during the wedding consultation to differentiate us from the weekend warriors. However, just 4 hours away in the Chicago market, 35 mm reigned as king...demographics. Great BTS video. (Oh, and I corrected my typos in my original comment...darn auto-correct!)

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

With how much distance he put between him and the group, 1.8 isn't too terrible. Some people may be a little oof, but it would be hard to tell.

close to f4?

At the start he says F4,5,6 to keep everyone sharp

If you are talking about 9:05 he’s shooting at 2.8 not 1.8

Why an nd filter?

For hard light if u shoot at 1.2 iso 100. If u chose a faster speed u will get the photo very dark ...
