You talk about wedding photography like it’s similar to being a war photographer in an active combat zone. Listen, some of your points were good, but most of it was very naive. Many photographers have shot weddings using one lens, some just to prove a point that people who say you need a series of lenses and camera bodies is asinine. Shooting anything, be it weddings, street, events, or whatever should be left to the photographer on how best to approach it. Too many KZbinrs follow the same mantra of “you need this or that,” when truth be told, we forget that there was a time when photographers only had a single fixed lens and a film camera to make the shots happen. And they made it happen better than most photographers today with modern technology. The key factor for knowing what to use is to understand what you want to capture and how. If you don’t know, and require KZbinrs and influencers to tell you, then you have not shot enough. Master a focal length first before deciding on spending tons of money on lenses you’re never going to regularly use. Get a general purpose prime or zoom, just one, and shoot the hell out of it. Become so good with it that you can’t help but see the world in that focal length. Once you reach that point, you will see and utilize the full potential of that one lens and body to capture breathtaking photos. Otherwise, you can have all the gear in the world but your photos will be nothing more than generic and bland. Just because you can take a picture doesn’t make you know how to capture a photo.

Did not work, all clicks are from 45+ age group, how to fix it?

It looks way different than yours for some reason...

You're amazing! Thank you so very much for this, Maria! Just a question with the Canon 50E film camera - what flash do you use with this?

for some reason mine looks nothing like this when I selected leads to create an ad. It doesnt have the website url box ect. Did this update & looks completely different now? Seems it's extremly limiting on my end vs what you've shown in this video :(

Just bought the Ads template, this is going to save me so much time and you get SO much value for $5 :):):) Highly Recommend!

thanks love

Voce faria muuuito mais sucesso aqui no Brasil!!

Your comparison at 1:21 mark is dishonest. The lighting conditions are different. Unless prime lenses communicate with the sun.

3:08 okay yeah I only have one camera body for now.

Well crap... I just purchased a 24-70 2.8 to start doing weddings... 😬😬😬 I can't return it now there's a restocking fee...

So if you are starting out, get first body and 24-70, then second body and either 35 or 85. Now you have at least one backup if one camera or lens breaks. Then later get the other 85 or 35.

Why would you advised others that the zoom was superior not having owned or even used a Sigma Art prime?

Prime lenses are for photographers. Zoom lenses are for lazy photographers. But seriously the reason I continue to only use primes are some of the reasons you listed: low light performance, sharpness, color depth, size, and weight. 35mm, 55(50 is more common)mm, 85mm is all you really need for a wedding.

Great video. But question for you. Under Campaign details, campaign objective, are you creating conversion events under the lead option? Or are you selecting traffic as the campaign objective? I can't figure out how to set up a conversion.

What lens combo would you now use during reception?

Im wondering if the new Sigma 28-105 2.8 will be my one lens to rule them all but im afraid my DJI RS3 will not like the idea

I've had an unusual experience with this. I was originally team zoom, then I went all in on primes (24mm and 50mm), but I found this a bit restricting. I picked up the new Sigma DG DN II 24-70 and now it lives on my second body - which is crazy sharp btw. A big step up from the mark 1 version and significantly lighter. So I'm shooting a 50mm 1.4 Sony GM on main body, then a 24-70 Sigma on my second body. But I find myself using the 50mm less and less. I'm thinking of picking up more zooms tbh - I think the 70-180 Tamron would pair nicely with the 24-70 for some parts of the day when you need that extra reach and that incredible compression at the long end. I think there's a place for both zooms and primes tbh. As always, thanks for the vid

I am about to try starting out with weddings. I only have one camera body and am hoping it with my 24-70 2.8 will be good enough until I can afford a second body! I also own a 35mm 1.4 and a macro 90mm 2.8. I just would have to switch lenses when I absolutely need them! I'm thinking possibly the 35mm for reception since it can go down to f/1.4.

please keep posting !

Thank you for sharing this! It was so informative <3

Thanks u, I'm starting out in wedding photography, and your video has helped me a lot

The idea of starting a business without having a business plan and just charging whatever you think is right there's no business plan at all and this is why so many small businesses fail. What you should have done we're taking courses of business college or how to run a small business

both the 860iii and V1 output 76 watts!

it's a great lens, recently I got the new Sigma 24-70 mark II

What lens is in the thumbnail

Is there a way to make a facebook lead ad without having to use a form? From the video, it looked like your lead campaign just went straight to your website. Thanks! This is all new to me and it can be so confusing lol

How come you stopped advertising?

My girl is literally making life long friendship with every her customer, writing to them year after photoshoot and call it "easy ways" XD..

Awesome tips - thanks for this

I'm neither a Wedding Photographer currently, nor do i plan on taking it up as a profession, but even as a hobbyist i appreciate your videos for how well structured, recorded, and informative they are. This video especially lets your background in marketing shine through and it's so pleasing to listen to someone who's experienced in the field and a good teacher. Thanks for the great work

What about macro lens for ring shots?

It's nice to meet you, fellow photographer

Party shots with manual focus?

#4 is a must. I have saved many group photos by taking multiple shots by grabbing eyes or faces from the person who blinked, looked away, or forgot to smile. One instance in particular grandma could not pose in any of the group shots, but as everyone was breaking up she laughed and smiled, click, that went into the final shot and to date is the only photo anyone has of her smiling.

ok, but how amazing you speak english ! I mean your name looks from Brasil. Howww ~ lol

Why do you use ettl not Manual?

For me your rules are more common sense than controversial and it is sad that some people who seemingly don't know better would argue about that. Sure other photographers might have a different style and might find another way that works, but generally I would say your video is good advice.

Totally agree. Time and focus matters.

Wow I'm impressed. Young lady you're going places. Great tips,keep it up!

When you change the iso speed to half the box speed, does that mean you are pulling? Do you tell the lab to develop it accordingly or just develop it normally?
