My tip for photographing first wedding or event... choose a small one, for someone who doesn't have high expectations (that will pretty much be happy with anything you capture) it lowers pressure, which will enable you to enjoy process more and ultimately be more creative and capture better material. From there you can scale up at you own pace. Also, as best you can, keep you light sources the same color temp, unless you are converting images to B&W

Building up to do weddings as a business. Currently a hobbyist with a lot of equipment and passion lol. Just wanted to say thank you. I’ve subscribed and your willingness to share info is truly encouraging. Keep up the good work!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Happy the videos can help!

[@BronzeHarbour]

Great tips! Also the ZF...so beautiful. People can say what they want: best camera being released in a LONG TIME even compared to other brands. It just makes you want to shoot.

[@r423sdex]

It's a Nikon. Does everything for you. What's exciting about that. Just point and shoot. The old photographers had inferior gear, but they had vision. That's why they took better. photos.

Wow great timing with this video man 😮 I’m photographing my first wedding next weekend at what has been said to be one of Swedens most beautiful churches 😁 Super excited and also a bit stressed! Wish me luck 😬 Great video and great tips! Thank you 🙏 Gonna go watch more of your videos now!

[@BF-rp6wd]

Good luck! I just shot my first wedding and try and go into it without any expectations other than being there to do the best job you can. You will be amazing.

[@deducken]

@@BF-rp6wdOh cool! How did it go? 🤩 Thank you! 🙏

[@BF-rp6wd]

@@deducken It went well thank you and the couple are happy with the photos. Was a quick ceremony lasting just over an hour with less time for group shots. Keep your checklist in mind and go with the flow, you are basically invisible with your camera aslong as you aren't too intrusive. Good luck!

[@BF-rp6wd]

I wish you uploaded this 2 months ago before I shot my first wedding! Regardless, you were the biggest help and inspiration in the success of said wedding so thank you.

[@grantrobertdavies]

Thanks man - Great video :)

[@nikomenko]

Great Video. Thanks for the tips

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@redfishstick]

love ur videos. the mechanical shutter sound from the Nikon ZF sounds amazing and therapeutic for some reason. keep up the good work!

[@blacklotus4076]

Love the photos. How did you get that slightly dark tone when taking your photos indoors?

[@fangli]

hey tay, do you rarely use trigger when doing wedding or event ?

[@Vadinaka]

Try Aftershoot as well

[@frankiealex11]

I just shot my first wedding last week and everything from the ceremony to cocktail hour was outside in the dead of daylight between 12-5 pm and felt terribly about the sharp sunlight in the photos. Did all i could in post but ultimately didnt love the outcome which is unfortunate.

[@johnstewart5489]

1/3step easier to use?

[@photo2000]

5:30 my advice don't go below 1/200 sec.... 1/100 is slow unless the person is rock solid not moving... this is unlikely with people. I would actually say, if you capturing people doing stuff, 1/400 Is better. Walking 1/500 and above. Crank that ISO... grainy pick is better than motion blur, unless that is they style you are going for

[@tungdd2710]

Is that the 14-24/2.8 near the end of the video?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Liam had it on one of his cameras yah

[@tungdd2710]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Could you tell me the full kit for both photos and videos? I'm building my kit so I'd really appreciate that

[@arturomarquez616]

What flash are you using??

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Godox v1. Then a weird old Nikon one for a few of the outdoor shots. It doesn’t refresh too fast though, so I’d just use the godox

[@arturomarquez616]
