I photographed my first wedding 2 weeks ago and found your videos incredibly helpful when it came to actually shooting on the day! Thank you for taking the time to show people part of the process :)

I'm shooting a wedding today in the rain so this was a great video for me to watch. I have a second shooter but no video. I'm hoping for the best but will allow my natural talent to do most of it with a happy outlook on the day, knowing I'll have some great shots capturing that day!

[@TeddyParker]

That's a great first look. Much more aesthetic and natural outdoors and without a buncha bridal party around, etc.

[@LindsayDaly]

'I'm a believer in less is more....and video" hahaha. This is amazing, as a videographer I never understood how people shot weddings and did both that and photos at the same time. This was such a great video!

[@mason_iw8836]

Great video! Yes, always have “acts of nature” in your contract, and yet always try your best to deliver images even in bad weather conditions.

[@Krys579]

This was really cool! I love the commentary

[@TallTreesClub]

I do a lot of coast redwood weddings under the dark 300 foot canopy, with a mix of rain, mist, for and harsh sun. I wish most days could be the soft light and gentle conditions in your video. BTW .. love that Tamron 85mm mounted on one camera ... wondeful lens.

[@azaelmartinez305]

I just bought your presets they're awesome, I got parts here and there, made a Frankenstein out of your presets lol and thats what I use, soon i also plan on joining your patreon

[@labingtatlo1381]

took your advice on the Tamron 35mm, easily my favorite lens.

[@championcreativemedia]

Hi Taylor, Great video! I'm on Sony and switch between photo/video Just wanted to get your opinion on the raised shutter speed that I can see you have whilst switching to video Do you notice much jumpy footage? Im always sticking to the 180 rule but want to explore weather I can crank shutter to correct exposure etc when switching modes

[@debartoloa]

I love shot together 😊😊 Thanks for Video!!!

[@md.lalbabu7298]

awesome

[@ianreynolds9365]

Love the video thank you! Are your presets compatible with ACR? Thanks for giving me the confidence to shoot my first wedding. It will be raining and I only have two lenses, 85mm and 24mm. It will be a challenge forsure, but watching your video helped!

[@dslrmoments467]

I feel like a lot of clients choose “quantity over quality”, I have seen photographers promising 600 images and even 1,200 images, but most of them are the same, and some of them deliver raw images.

[@KirbyG970]

Lol raw wtf ahaha madness

[@natakyu5736]

look a moment with amazing pic!

[@jamesbishop803]

Great Videos, I thought you'd be using more OCF for the portrait sessions? Do you ever bring out a speedlight or strobe off camera?

[@val77701]

Do you shoot in manual or automatic and do u adjust everything on ur own or automatic too (so shutterspeed, iso...) ? Love the video, so cute 😌

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I’m manual for everything most of the time. Sometimes I’ll be auto white balance inside if it’s a lot of different conditions

[@GilbertTV]

excellent

[@andrewrolle]

Taylor, Have you tried using the GoPro Hero 7 at a wedding for your highlight film? if so how would you mount it to your camera to work seamlessly? I want to transition to hybrid wedding packages here in the bahamas and I just purchased a Nikon D800. (My first Full Frame camera.) I would love to move quickly to the Nikon D850, but its taken me this long to upgrade from the D7100..

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I use the GoPro 7 outside when the light is nice. I usually just have it in my back pocket and pull it out when I need it.

[@aquariuslady777]

made my wedding indoors last Saturday easy as pie ;)

[@americasaverage758]

Looked like great fun I shot a wedding last year in a pure down pour it sucked so bad everyone was drintched

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

America's Average the worst I had was like 10 years ago with full downpour horizontal rain and we were out at a beach. Everyone had umbrellas down like 300 shields peeking through the cracks

[@sebastianpizzorno7700]

Hi Taylor , how do you shoot wide open (1.4) and still getting the couple or every one on focus ? I try it and I can’t do it , any tips ? Thanks

[@collectiiv_co]

autofocus

[@michaelmiller6013]

Get your lens calibrated to the body. A body can be off a little like -1 or -2 and a lens can be off the same way or the other way. If you get them calibrated, your autofocus is more reliable

[@michaelmiller6013]

I find that native brand name lenses focus more consistently. On my canon body I only use canon lenses. I had a sigma and returned it due to autofocus issues

[@AaroKeipi]

Easy solution: Don't use Canon. :D I used Canon for years, and even with Canon lenses the focus was off at least 20% of the time (and it was way worse with other brand lenses). After switch to Nikon my autofocus accuracy is at least 95%.

[@jpelikan67]

@@AaroKeipi Not true anymore with EOS R.

[@waynegarmonphotography]

Taylor, have you tried programming a custom button on your Sony camera to switch back and forth from video to photos?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

It’s always been the buffer speed that’s been the problem. So even when switching to video mode after shooting raw files on an A9, you have to sit there and watch the files write before you record. Tested it with the fastest cards I have as well

[@luiscalderon652]

Team notification

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Luis Antonio at least it’s in HD this time hah

[@CJUrbex]

i notice you shoot alot mainly around the 1/2000 to 1/3200 mark, is that so you know you are freezing action without any movement at all or is that just down to the wide open aperture ? whats your views on this ? cheers!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Mostly just because I’m wide open outside

[@WynPhotos]

Interesting 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SassDi]

Hi taylor i wanna contact you for my wedding in INDIA !

[@stevenz3898]

great video! when shooting, do you use af or manual focus?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Af for pictures, manual for video

[@undercoverbearmusic]

Loved the video as always! So you just use the same video settings as the ones you're currently using for photos? Regardless of the 180 degree rule etc?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I don’t know the 180 rule is a thing. I’ll do a side by side comparison someday

[@ArcanePath360]

Why on earth don't you have a hood on that lens out in the rain? I know some wedding photographers charge to remove watermarks from their photos but that is ridiculous, lol :D

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

There’s a lens hood

[@ArcanePath360]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Oh sorry, from the Go Pro view it looked to me like that was part of the lens. It looks too short and shiny to be a hood like the ones I'm used to

[@tatianabondarenko6899]

[@ericthestone]

Awesome video! What video quality and frame rate do you usually shoot?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Whatever the max quality at 60p!

[@Image-i-nationCoUk]

About how many images do you shoot on a typical wedding day?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Shoot like 3000-4000 usually and deliver 600ish

[@saifulhaqalmubarak7098]

What tipe bracket do you using for mounting gopro?

[@artisticcompose]

I guess I will be the guy who asks for the trade secrete today... what mount are you using for the gopro? Great video btw!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Just GoPro plastic adapters into the tripod mount

[@artisticcompose]

Taylor Jackson thanks for the quick response! Do you use some sort of friction arm or L-bracket as well?

[@lamkavangkhua1459]

Hi,....can you plese suggest me, which lens is better to shoot/use weddings during ceremony(inside church) church n group.photos... which will.give me sharp n better quality 16-35 l 24-35 Art l 24-70...

[@cdavid119]

24-70

[@lamkavangkhua1459]

@@cdavid119 thanks.. but 24-70 isnbit costly for me, by the way will 24-35 Art works? Is the lens good enough to invest?

[@cdavid119]

@@lamkavangkhua1459 I really have no idea of what body you are shooting on so I can't tell you. But if you haven't before check out the Tamron SP 24-70 f/2.8 Di VC USD, the first iteration of it can be found for around 500 USD used and it will produce very respectable images. If that is too much money I would suggest taking some smaller jobs in the mean time to build up your photography kit. That being said I know people who shoot entire weddings on a 50mm 1.8 and their finished products are amazing.

[@joylynnreda3840]

Less is more!💜👍

[@eastcoast16s]

Are you switching in and out of LiveView for the videos or photoing in LV as well?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Switching, but D850 lag time isn't much

[@eastcoast16s]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Nice! I have a few D5 bodies but always carried a third (D500) for videos. I think I am going to try to just switch to LV on the go. Great idea! Thanks!

[@ahsanemu5663]

Suddenly what the happening with rain

[@ayyotrav9293]

Do you ever get soft images shooting the Tamron 35 wide open at 1.8?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Mine is really sharp. My friend Tim’s needed some dock correction to get it closer and it’s still not quite as good as how mine came out of the box. So sadly there are (hopefully were) some CC issues

[@ayyotrav9293]

Taylor Jackson copy that. I have the lens on my 6d and it’s been great. But I think I notice a difference wide open so I’m usually shooting at 2.2. Thanks for the quick response man!

[@IrfanHindami]

Hello, why you use the lens hood in every wedding session?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

In case I smack my lens off things. More useful for the camera that hangs off my arm all day

[@IrfanHindami]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto doesn't that using the lenshood affect the results of the photos you got?

[@danielu2501]

@@IrfanHindami lens hood is used to prevent glare and lens flare, so if anything it will improve the quality of the pictures. Unless of course, You would like to intentionally introduce some flare - which I did on a number of occasions when shooting at a party against DJ stand with bright lights. But usually I keep my lens hood for protection - I don't like filters...

[@gersonmadrid6675]

Taylor, has the A9 the same buffer delay as the A73 and A7R3?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

When I tested one of the first release versions it did, but I haven't tried since the new firmware. Don't suspect it would have changed anything, but maybe.

[@vishalpatelful]

hOW DID YOU SHOT THOSE VIDEO HANDHELD 😲 😲 😲 😲

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Just standing still!

[@vishalpatelful]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto That was really amazing job shooting handheld. Never at any moment felt it was shaky. Brilliant work 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@XxLogo]

I see you going from photo to video to photo, however your shutter speed stays so high on the screen. Does your camera automatically switch to the 180 rule when you go right to video from photo?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I’ve never abided by this rule and haven’t noticed anything negative

[@XxLogo]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto cool to know. May be fine for not like vlog style and just short clips, who knows. Either way can't be impeding very much because the slow motion looks great. Keep up the work!

[@zachneven5496]

you dont need the best gear out there to shoot a wedding.... you just need to learn and use things to protect your gear... just because you can afford the fancy newest tech does not mean everyone else can.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

To do proper hybrid coverage that doesn’t sacrifice quality unfortunately you still have to spend some money. Do do photo, I’d be fine with a D750 and 85mm 1.8 all day

[@Roflmao0001]

I feel like shooting both at the same time should be avoided if you can. I feel like while it is possible, it comes at the cost of reducing the quality of both photos and videos

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Joe O'Connor I disagree. I think it makes a better overall capture of the day

[@mahektailor4542]

No flash?

[@kernelpanic2887]

Well, he stands to far away for a flash. Also most photos look quite similair if shot with flash comapred to natural light. Natural light tends to need a bit more edititng, but gives beter images
