Nice lense, but unfortunately my budget is now low as my 70-200 2.8gm arrived two hours ago 😂

I think people are overreacting. The Wedding Film Industry is fine and will forever be. It might change a little bit but videography in weddings will be here forever

Hard pass! In the blind ‘want’ to have the fastest full frame zoom and hit f1.8, they have made something that works for no one. 24-50mm f2 at £1200 and everyone would have bought it. Sigma have Proper messed up with this one.

Okay, some thoughts. This or the 1.4 50mm? And mid-day fog?!? Is that a North Carolina thing?

I wish it went to at least 50mm. I know the clear image zoom works well but you lose auto focus at that point. 😢

Cool lens. Off-topic: I know you're exploring ditching slo-mo in some scenarios. But the problem remains--shooting 60p or faster with appropriate shutter looks bad on a 24p timeline, playing at real-time speed. I wish we had solutions for that. Looks jittery, and possibly like a settings/operator mistake.

What do you guys think about this new lens from Sigma? Drop em below 👇

The photography package included video. No need to panic .. let’s keep scrolling 👀

What do you think of the DJI mic?

I’m a wedding photographer and I also do some wedding films here n there and we didn’t get a videographer with our wedding last year. Could not afford it or justify it. Videos don’t go on my walls, and I feel like we would watch it a few times and that’s the end of it.

What ND filter / strength do you typically use for your films?

loved the vid! who are the other two people? do you mind sharing their channels?

I like the videos I like you expressing your opinions! I think videographer and Photographer put the meal thing in their contract because like every other job in the US if you work eight hours, you required to have a lunch break even if you don’t want one. At least that’s where I’m usually just sitting at a desk and I normally don’t even want to go walk down to a cafeteria to eat. I’d rather just shorten my working day by continuing work.

Are you shooting with an anamorphic lens?

Has anyone think that the photographer maybe was more like a media team? I do that all the time my wife takes care of photos and I do video

Brides are getting tired of the music video, cookie cutter templates, especially with the rise of Content Creators. The wedding filmmakers that are willing to put in the work that no one else wants to do to document the day in the way that is most precious to the bride will stand the test of time.

All I can say is watch what Justin porter media!

I'm so glad to hear you say this. I watched some high priced wedding videographers recently who approach it more like a reality show, and I thought, wow! this feels way more real with normal speed clips. It made me realize that the normal wedding video formula is broken. (venue shot, florals closeup, details, bride getting ready, bride and groom kissing, everyone cheering, speeches, now set it all indiscriminately to half speed and apply a music bed song.) We can do more.

I started photography/videography 8ish years ago. I've recently started the journey of filming weddings. Did my first one a few weeks ago. I recently found your channel and have been binging all of your content. I love it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Also your color grading is absolutely beautiful in all of your work

WEDDING VIDEOS ARE A WANT NOT A NEED ONE MORE TIME FOR EVERYONE IN THE BACK WADDING VIDEOS ARE A WANT NOT A NEED. send out a servay email asking old customers how offten they look at the wedding videos vs the wedding photos. there will always be a place for wedding video but never a need and thats what you have to learn don't do one type of video work. when I get married i'm going to have all my friends and family import all the photos with the ones they will take with their phones and maybe do a photo shoot with my wife but spending 7/10k for video and photo I don't see the value even long term.

Dying? No. Hurting the industry when not used properly? Yes.

Weddings are luxuries in general tbh...

Vendor meal hot take is way off...... While you aren't entitled, it's def earned. and after 15 years in DJ/video/photo, I absolutely include the clause. We aren't machines, and sometimes... snacks just aren't enough.

I usually fast on the wedding day too but mostly because I don't want to worry about finding a bathroom early in the day when I can't miss critical moments 🤣 But vendor meals hit real nice when you are starving. Also I've not heard of the content creators style of wedding video. I get why it would exist though. For the last one, the dance floor lights, I'd say it can depend. I have noticed that sometimes when I set up my lights I get looks from wedding guests and the area closet to my lights is usually barren even on the lower brightness settings because people don't want to dance near the lights haha I've also had couples straight up ask me not to use my own lights (though only a few times, usually they get why they're needed).

I used to only film in 24fps. I only started to shoot 60/120 because I saw other people using it and felt like I had to include it to compete. It can definitely be a crutch in editing to cover up lack of proper coverage at times :/ But on the flipside I totally understand why people would film exclusively in 60fps to just make life easier for themselves.

very good video!one question:can we shoot all the wedding with mist filters?(specially if the 80% of the shooting is outside)?thanks

Silly question, but I’m assuming you drop your 60fps footage on a 24 frame timeline? I feel like my 60fps footage looks a taaaad choppy in a 24 timeline, compared to 24 in a 24…maybe it’s just my camera! ALSO, can I capture audio in 60fps and still be good in a 24 timeline? You’re awesome and the content is so helpful.

Team log but still learning lots

because nowadays a wedding video is a set of stereotypes and templates, these are pics that come to life with added movement. There is nothing valuable in the endless groom adjustments of a tie and the bride touching her dress . Clients want to see emotions and real life, some moments that not everyone saw at weddings, something unique and memorable. Those who do this will definitely have clients, the question is how they can break through tons of template videos.

How much time do you spend editing 1 wedding video in total?

I would said that as a Bride to marry in 2 months we didn’t choose a videographer because we do not want to have a camera polluting around, I have seeing in recent wedding that we have attended too that it seams almost that catching the best shot is more important than the event itself, we just want to be in the moment without feeling the pressure of being aware of a camera recording around, we feel that having a camera in between just takes away the authenticity of the moment. Yes, it will look great when you put the film together but we are going to be the ones seeing the camera in our memories all around, and We just don’t what to remember our day like that. ❤

I commented on your latest video, about how I’ve filmed 7 weddings to date so very early days but I film with canon 5d mk3’s which shoot 60fps but It’s only 720p so slow mo isn’t an option for me and to be honest I prefer the 24fps look

Hot take: Ill-equipped photographers jumping into shots because they lack reach on their 35mm and 50mm lenses.

Having the wedding of your dreams is the luxury not videography. But i get your take and i somewhat agree.

Filming a wedding on a full stomach is never fun. We dont need meals and most weddings we have an opportunity to grab something in between locations after ceremony.

My opinion people will share their weddings pictures and look at them frequently compared to a wedding video. Ask yourself if you have a wedding video how often have you watched that compared to the photos ?

I’m still in my infancy with wedding videography. I’ve just done my 7th wedding. I struggle with coming to terms with creating something I like and then having to risk showing others. I think my problem is I’m comparing myself to all the amazing videographers I see on UA-cam.

2m dollar wedding.. Could also be the case that some very important people might be there and the couple did not want to take chances with someone filming the wrong thing and it accidentally coming out. Photos are way more forgiving in that aspect even if the wrong photo comes out.

Hot take on wedding films: if you don’t want to be treated as an add on, price and market yourself accordingly. Move into a market that values video and doesn’t simply see it as a bonus. As a wedding photographer, I constantly hear “We’d love to have a videographer if there’s any room left in the budget when we get closer.” These are the clients I would avoid at all costs as a videographer.

Great video and great takes. I’ve photographed 400+ weddings and filmed 1 wedding. Let me tell you, I’ll never complain about photographing another wedding again. Filming is so much more work 😅 Thanks for all the great content.

Most couples that i work with shy away from the camera almost instantly and I would love to have any advice on what i can do to help ease people's nerves

ISO 8000 > lights….imo. I’m a NO light guy. With a capable camera of course.

The proliferation of franchises taking over the wedding industry. There seems to be so many national vendors that are saturating the market, which turns most wedding videos into single shooter slow motion montages. Shooter is local, editing is done out of state.

Ive never done a wedding where i wasnt fed lol. They always take care of me and my assistant if i have one but i do typically have a protein smoothie before bc i know im about to get a workout 😂 Technically nothing is a necessity besides going down to the courthouse. But not getting a wedding film in 2024 is nasty work. Heck theres a bunch of people you can find in just about any budget range. There's virtually no excuse nowadays. But we definitely are under appreciated. Even my fiance never understood until she helped me with one wedding and she was STRESSED. 😂😂😂😂 then the editing had her more stressed and she was like you need to charge wayy more lol If you edit or can edit your own work you're a film maker imo. Social media got peoples head warped in EVERYTHING. Im a car enthusiast. Everyone thinks they are car enthusiasts even though they dont know a thing lol. Or cant actually race their car. And nowadays 1000hp is slow. Like what???? Film Making from beginning to end is not easy or non time consuming. We putting in crazy work and have to be so much more creative than photographers imo and i also do photography. Content creators can devalue almost anything depending on what it is. They've done more harm than good in the car community for sure. Clout is everything. Bc peoples can create quick reels, they think wedding film Making can be done overnight 😂😂. And it also confuses some people bc they dont know what they want sometimes or want too many different things when it comes to their wedding film bc of all the "content" they consume on a daily basis. And they try to get more out of you for extra things like reels and stuff bc social media is thing and clout is a drug people cant get enough of lol. At the same time people like Wayward wouldnt be around if it wasnt for content creators bc his UA-cam is technically content creation lol. I already have an add on for 15 second reels and 30 and 60 second reels but those arent available for 1-2 weeks after. Never realized people were just essentially capturing and posting the content like that lol i thought the guests were doing that for free 😂😂😂 The lighting nope. Just like you said, either they vibing with the music and want to dance or they're not. Its that simple tbh. I dont always use lights around the dance area but ive never had an issue. And couples LOVE when i use the rgb on my light attached to my little smallrig setup when i go hand held Anyways love your content broski. You've been such a tremendous help and definitely my favorite wedding filmmaker who does content. You're humble, you keep it 💯 and you know what you're talking about!

most dj let me my amaran 200d with fresnel on 3-4% dimmed down xD

I'm sorry but eating and taking a break is not a privilege haha it is a human right. More power to you if fasting and granola bars are your thing but everyone else needs a break and a hot meal that doesn't give us food poisoning (which has happened a couple times) I love your vids, keep it up!

Paying $4000 for a DJ comfortably but flushing out your entire budget and asking the Videographer to take $1500 “because that’s all I have”.

In my opinion, anything for a wedding is a luxury expense. Anyone could go to a courthouse and get married, and saying if DJ or planner or photographer aren't a luxury expense is mind-boggling. The fact that photography has just been around for longer is what makes people not think it's a luxury expense, when it is and most photographers are charging more than videographers, which also boggles my mind because if a videographer is doing it right, they should be charging at least the same or slightly more.

Hot take - The saturation and lack of differentiation in the market will lead to couples prioritizing the character of the videographer and how they enhance the joy & experience of the day over quality of production. Already seeing this in the California wedding market - sincerely a wedding videography & photography married couple

Hmmm. Uncut Gems. I want to see what that’s all about.
