Second Shoot With Sam Hurd! Wedding Photography Behind The Scenes.

[@iamsamhurdphotography]

ummmmmm hold on. does he know that sony does allow custom cropping? i do it all the time.

[@anthonyjalbert3123]

Yep, 35mm crop, great feature on my a7iii

[@s.o.g4247]

Came into the comments just to look for this. I was going to say. Now he can switch over to a real camera 😝

[@iamsamhurdphotography]

@@anthonyjalbert3123 haha, yes... but believe me it didn't used to be!

[@jamiescott5597]

​@@iamsamhurdphotography that's right I went in looking to upgrade my sony a7rii as I was saying a dealbreaker for me not having a feature like that, it's only from the a7ii onwards and not all have it

[@Photomeike]

There is no way this kind of content should be free. So here is a little something. Plus I owe you! ;)

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Hah! Thanks man! I still don't recommend trying Sam's Taco Bell warm up

[@is92173]

I was saying this the whole time watching this.

[@Krishna10811]

Let these be free please. Everyone always puts a price on things but I always appreciate this. Plus we pay them indirectly by watching their videos, interacting, and ads.

[@randallbourne2717]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Taco Bell is food that you rent. :) I'm surprised he made it through the day without the food returning to the surface. :)

[@eleanorjones9992]

I really loved that this was like a REAL wedding. Not just a “destination/perfect/elopement/bucket list” wedding in REAL locations, not ideal light all the time etc Really appreciated this video.

[@iamsamhurdphotography]

'tis the reality for almost every wedding! it's actually a rare surprise whenever i get perfect light AT the right time, haha.

[@eleanorjones9992]

@@iamsamhurdphotography honestly so true. always dreaming of the sweet golden hour that makes up 1% of our work.

[@collinheath3290]

Only halfway through but this video is so freaking good. You couldn’t ask for a better behind the scenes wedding video. Nice to see where Sam gets his creative fuel. Thanks Taco Bell.

[@liamgoodvisuals]

I am just soaking up every minute of this. This is wonderful, an excellent look into a day with Sam. Also petition to name the conference "The Workshop That We Still Don't Have a Name For" Workshop.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

It’s almost too late to name it now hah

[@liamgoodvisuals]

[@katasticone]

Holy crap. This video was fire. So many little nuggets of knowledge. I love how simple he keeps his setup too and how he explained his thought process.

[@pietervanacker]

looking at this video this is who I want to be when I get older. I really like he uses creative styles and doesn't just take the normal pictures!!!

[@elanf]

Man.. you guys are suckers… for making this free ❤️ Thanks for this, loved it

[@thomasbechard]

Really, genuinely enjoyed this. Sam was so easy going and doesn’t have the “wedding photographer” look. I love it. The photos were beautiful and the fun setups were awesome.

[@brendanoconnorphotography]

Thank you so much, Taylor, for all your amazing content. My first wedding is tomorrow and I've literally been consuming your videos nonstop for 2 weeks straight. I know my skills as an artist are on point, but I'm a serious introvert and that has been my biggest hang up. You have given me the courage to step out of my comfort zone and just get out of my own way. I'm so grateful for just everything!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Happy the videos can help! Have fun!

[@seansiquig]

i’ve watched a ton of photography videos but i’ve never loved every single photo taken like i did in this video. i felt like your choice of B&W was also perfect for the photos taken. I’m a beginner photographer but I aspire to take photos as great as you do some day :)

[@cgphotographics1926]

**chandler voice** could he BE anymore chilled?? Love it. Such a calm presence on the day and some awesome pics to go with it. Great video as ever!

[@ISOCZAR]

Very cool video as someone who has been shooting weddings for 12 years and burnt out (moving on to commercial photography) this was a refreshing video because you pretty much have my same laid back style of shooting and I appreciate that you still love doing it

[@SeeThruMyVisions]

Thank you so much for this. You're one of the only creators I've seen that will expose other creatives through you're own channel. Love both of you guys work ! Sam is incredibly creative with his images and thought process 🤞🏽 when you're in New York I got a few pizza spots for yaa

[@moroleongto100]

Amazing detailed explanatory video! As a starting event photographer I find myself doubting if it’s a perfect shot or worth their money, this video has gave me the confidence to stop over thinking and be the best I could be from now on

[@LizOsban]

I’ve been to so many workshops and two with Sam Hurd as a speaker. He’s always the nicest, most approachable and helpful photographer at those things. He stands out from many famous wedding photographers with how much he is genuinely passionate about the craft itself.

[@darrenmusgrovephotography]

My word, that was special. Should be titled How to make it look so easy! because that's how Sam makes it look. Amazing work from you both! BRAVO!

[@malik11223344]

ohhh F***. was it really 43min long? dude this was epic. I have a focus problem but watched this in one go. amazed. very informative and every part, every second of its was amazing. good job man.

[@edwardjones4194]

@Taylor - I love your videos in general, but this is my absolute favorite! The direction you have taken with doing interviews and BTS with other photographers has been amazing to see and experience (e.g. John Branch, Photo Me Ike). This one with Sam is definitely one that I will return to for inspiration and to learn from now into the future. Thanks for what you do.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Thanks for letting me know you enjoy them! They’re a lot of fun to make

[@adamaufdencamp5080]

I found this video soooo much more useful than a scripted, slickly produced story. It frankly gave me a mild anxiety attack taking me back to the first wedding I ever shot. Mid to late morning crappy light. Wedding party in various states of composure. Unfamiliar settings. And seeing the results interspersed was excellent. The steam of conscious was perfect. Best wedding shoot video I’ve watched. Thank you.

[@Reno_T]

Really cool one guys. So cool to see the bts! And Sam we’re waiting for a new episode of the podcast ;-)

[@jennamcfarland5757]

I have been lucky to both learn under Sam during one his workshops, the ability to have him capture mine and my fiances photos, and he is one of the calmest people to learn from and know. So cool to see you two work together!

[@tomKphotoFortCollins]

Bless you, both. Taylor for the great shooting/editing/flow and Sam for letting us come along. Made my day.

[@brandonmcmullen1553]

Great content for aspiring weds photographers. His demeanor and relaxed event workflow is something to take note of. *Sony bodies have had ‘super-35’ or apsc mode for some time. I program it on my top custom buttons or even my lens focus hold buttons for quick access.

[@zenkomusic]

Good insights thank you! One thing Sam mentioned though, that he couldn't switch to Sony because of the lack of a crop mode button: you can definitely switch to crop mode with a press of a button. I do that regularly.

[@iamsamhurdphotography]

nice! it wouldn't surprise me that it's different now then when i originally tried sony stuff, which would have been pre-2018. i don't shoot sony for other reasons now. i remember they always had the feature, but it was poorly implemented, but i'm glad to hear that's something the've improved on!

[@ScottMilamscottenglishphoto]

I think its so important to capture the random things in their homes! Love that you shoot stuff like those flowers for them! Also, not being super strict about the schedule is so key! Love your mindset with that!

[@mwansamukonko6215]

Sam should do more behind the scenes! Totally love this

[@julianmorgan8536]

I love that he listen to VOM while taking pics for a wedding. Besides that though, the knowledge he gives us is pure gold. I definitely need to start following his work. Great Job!

[@LindyBreaksTheStigma]

I’ve gotten more awesome specific tips and tricks off of this video than years of watching KZbin.

[@CrazyGuy9990]

Sam has such a calming personality. Great video

[@johnbelleville926]

Nice to see a true Professional at work....the nuance and details (not just in shots but intention) are refreshing to see.

[@darylswalker]

Loved this BTS and insight from Sam. And of course theres a button on the Sonys for cropping ;) I have it set as C1

[@67gs400]

the king of foreground!

[@blobart005]

really loved all the things....the creative photos and your chill storytelling kind of vibe..& also the people we're really looking very wholesome❤

[@joel.wuestehube]

Love this video! Shooting my first real Wedding next Saturday. On Sony you can set a Custom Button to switch to S35 Mode and crop in 1,5 Times as well. But than you only get the cropped version of the image. At least on my A7 III

[@MrMrWattz]

Yeah I was going to comment on this, I have this as a custom button, it’s so helpful

[@BorisDessimond]

He looks like super calm and pro, such amazing personality and music taste.

[@ionutfechete6328]

Oh yes, super nice! My favourite is you, Magic and Sam Hurd! The edit and their compositions are super nice. 👌🙏

[@thegreatelam]

I love that idea but how does he keep focus on moving subjects.

[@jasonm129]

I’m only 6mins in and he making this look super easy!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@arshie26]

I don't mean this in a negative way, but probably the weirdest aspect of this for me was seeing how mellow and chill he was. I expected him to be really high-strung, with a strong sense of urgency. It's bending my mind to see that he can be so casual and still get amazing pictures and work well with other vendors! Obviously, this is just one wedding day, and I'm not seeing him during, say, a destination wedding that might be more hectic, but I think it's still relevant :) Thank you!!!

[@MegaMrWinter]

Your vibe affects those around you. If you act stressed and high-strung others will be stressed. No need to run around crazy because you’re trying to look as busy as you are. Weddings are stressful enough for the couple and families organizing them. No need to add to it. This is a perfect example of a professional who’s very comfortable in his craft.

[@arhon888]

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the insights. I can only aspire to be that relaxed and totally in control.

[@hankkeutchayee]

I really felt how happy they were. and the creative portraits wow!

[@meghanpierrette2783]

I’m amazed at how he didn’t use a flash in that orange house I love it

[@SaminHangzhou]

You can also set a custom button on Sony to instantly set it to crop sensor mode. I’ve set mine up as C2 for 1.5x crop
