imagine doing a wedding shoot and a video tutorial all in one session? That's talent.

[@RebeccaCarpenter]

thanks so much!!! I really appreciate that!! x

[@mitas3484]

Just shot my first wedding, and I followed many of your tips. It turned out amazing! Ive done mostly portraits and such, and the bride knew that, but she was smiling non-stop when I showed her the outcome, thanks for sharing all your knowledge!

[@dannypham5807]

Easy to shoot with a couple knows what they're doing :) :) :)

[@fotostudiomadam]

Your voice is very pleasant and you give them great space to be themselves, yet you can direct them, so you can capture the best photos of them. Wonderful short and educational video of a wedding couple photos!!

[@monics1388]

I wish i have a photographer as incredible as you on my wedding day.🤩

You made that look so effortless! Thanks for the video.

[@linayarina14]

I loved this video so much! Your energy is so warm. Now I need to rewatch this 10 more times to remember all the tips. Most couples are definitely not this affectionate though, but that’s ok!

[@tomandchandler1]

[@JCPhotographyMallorca]

loved this rebecca

[@jasminerose6658]

Best Couple Posing Video on KZbin!

[@NicholasSpeaks]

glad to see some solo groom shots! Most photographer or mostly female photographers only take solos of the bride.

[@lowdethan6709]

You're seriously underrated. You have great content. Loved this video! I shoot with the exact setup👌

[@RebeccaCarpenter]

That’s so kind!! Thank you for watching!! 💕

[@fototrendyfotografia1590]

Veeerrry Goood video :) Thx Rebecca :)

[@charlottefrancis6999]

This so helpful! Thank you Rebecca. As i nikon user it is better to shoot in single point focus mode or continuous focus mode? This where i always get confused. Xx

[@3dwardstuneography783]

I love this video so much im gonna use this on my first ever couple shot in the next few weeks! 😊 just quick question. What mode do you use to shoot? Is it autofocus continuous? Flexi large? Or just wide? Much appreciated!!!:)

[@perzk]

In these type of videos there is always perfect light. In Denmark if you are "lucky" you have 40-60 minutes to shoot the portraits and it is usually between 12 - 15 in the afternoon. But love the video though. :)

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥 I absolutely love this with all of the different creative poses that you coached them through. You fired away at a tom of shots just here alone. Can you please tell me on average how many shots you take in the entire day from the ceremony until the end of the reception.? 💕

[@tabbyyy_]

quickest video i have come across! Can you share camera setting you used or what camera lens you recommend for these portraits? Please i have the pleasure of being my lil sister’s photographer in a few weeks and would want these pictures to be the best and it’s my first time ever doing this. I’m feeling so nervous preparing for her big day 😭

[@norgerichard]

So Nice 👍

[@yasamanminouei]

💙👌🏼

[@davidtomasek5241]

Hi! What focus mode do you use for such photos? David from Czech rep. Amazing video by the way!

[@sithiralandage5269]

Thanks a lot

[@RebeccaCarpenter]

Thanks for watching ✨💕

[@hotmas1989ify]

when they walk towards you, what focus setting do you use?

[@enattube9911]

Good jobs

[@shahramasvadi]

NICE

[@sethie_shots]

Doesn’t it make you crazy if your lens hood is on backwards? Thanks for the awesome guide

[@fazedynastyful]

What do you guys use when shooting weddings as far as focusing goes?

[@pranayacreative]

is sigma 50mm f1.4 good lens?

[@ogungberonke9825]

Nice 👍🙂

[@blushbaby6898x]

Would be even better, if you could choose a couple who never posed, never had a pro session... than a models.. ;/ Then, that would show if you can pose/direct a real people.. and then you wouldn't be able to take 20+ poses in 10 min.

[@RebeccaCarpenter]

thanks for your feedback! I definitely took this feedback on board and if you view my most recent videos its all non models! xxx

[@ChrisW444]

Really enjoyed this. Do you change the aperture at all or keep it really wide and just take the shots letting camera choose the shutter speed and do you use auto ISO or keep it set at say 100 800 etc?

[@RebeccaCarpenter]

I tend to shoot really wide 1.4, 1.8 and I shoot aperture priority m. ISO for this type of shoot super low and set it manually xxx ISO 100- 400 Depending on light

[@ChrisW444]

@@RebeccaCarpenter thank you. Appreciate you getting back to me I have been taking photos for ages but have never been as confident as you are with your settings.

[@aliciareneephotography8117]

Any favourite presets

[@kellypurvis6326]

How are you able to take the pictures so fast with out focusing?

[@talyaherring]

Hey love your channel! Do you mostly shoot in AP for weddings?

[@RebeccaCarpenter]

Always now ☺️☺️

[@photosbyjames_]

awesome tips! i noticed every photo was on portrait and none were landscape, is that intentional? are landscapes not needed in a location shoot?

[@JuanLopezmusica]

Can you do a short of this video?

[@bcfit2]

What presets are you using? If you’re using any

[@bradtafiti6981]

What is the name of the Cam that ur using for the film ?pls and the model ?

[@amani3152]

نوع الكاميرا المستخدمة في تصوير عزيزتي رجاءا 👌❤

Rebecca i really need to tell you. This is video i looking for many year.

[@aliciareneephotography8117]

What f stop are you using? Auto iso?

[@katarynapeckham5148]

Oooh where is this location?

[@dosfeos805]

What lens did you use for these?

[@averymcdaniel423]

50mm 1.4

[@averymcdaniel423]

Are you shooting wide open?

[@emmanuelessel9715]

Pls can you help me with your old camera . Am Emmanuel from Ghana. Thank you madam Rebecca..

[@lululashlounge]

Not fair they look like models

[@wildeman32]

Easy photographing two models who pose themselves

[@RebeccaCarpenter]

Thanks for your feedback I’ve since done new videos with couples who aren’t models.

[@aleksandrad2070]

Are you still underexposing when shoting golden hour? :)

[@tellthestoryphotography-th7216]

Why no light at all? A lot of weddings don't have those perfect lighting conditions, and you need to have it for changing/less than ideal situations.
