Iv got my first unpaid wedding in 2 weeks I'm meeting them on Saturday I can't wait

[@thevoid7432]

I’ve been a photographer for 10 month and my first paid wedding is tomorrow 🙈

@@thevoid7432 Great news, man. Did my first solo one a week ago. Also a great experience. Tried to prep well and ended up delivering good value.

[@RossMcLendon]

Super-helpful. I'm shooting my first wedding (for a friend) in a couple of weeks. Your videos in general have been extremely helpful in terms of reducing the number of "unknown unknowns" that I'll be facing.

[@daniellavasco4152]

Same. I'm freaking out

[@kaylab4698]

This put me at ease so much. I'm painfully introverted, but love photography. I've done multiple family shoots / just kids photos, but this weekend is my first wedding. It's comforting to see someone else who's introverted and succeeding.

[@ullasjoseph4502]

How did it go?

[@nauscakes1868]

I read a BBC article the other day too that mentioned how sugar/glucose helps lower decision fatigue when you're getting stressed out. They didn't say refresh your mind. It was specifically about decision fatigue (which photographers deal with a lot). And the science behind it seemed pretty legit. Like it's a great short-term fix. And it can be a great way to get over any hump where a person is making a lot of hard decisions in a short amount of time.

[@brandonwilliams6386]

Not sure if you touched base on it but i’ve done maybe 4-5 weddings, all for friends and this tips kinda goes without saying, but dont drink or party with the people because its very easy to get sidetracked and miss great shots. Especially doing wedding for friends who know you well.

[@samgarcia3863]

I couldn't have asked for a better video! I feel so relieved by watching this!

[@lindsay.oram86]

[@oldpensrugbytv9957]

How did you guys get on? It rained for me! Lol. The church was super dark also. Not to mention the covid masks... Really tough first wedding but I got through it alive! I think it has to get easier after that? :-)

[@noahpedraza2659]

Can we get that amazing song in Spotify PLEASE!?!

[@talathussain7214]

really nice intro, big fan of your KZbin work and lessons, I loved your style of photography, you are my mentor, wish you best Taylor Jackson!!!

[@Trekking365]

This came out two days too late! Haha but thanks for all the other videos they have really helped. It went well btw!

[@Thefroggang101]

I just found you!!! I have my first wedding coming up and im freaking out! Im a natural light photographer, so freaking out about using a flash and harsh lighting outside. What have I done? 🤯

[@phoniexace]

Relax everything is going to be alright 👍

[@corncakescardoza]

I’m a natural light photographer as well, what do you have planned for shooting indoors? Any suggestions on flashes, i’m not familiar and i have a wedding coming up and i’m freaking out!

[@joyesmalskade8984]

Same here. How did it go? =)

[@jewelldonaldson1645]

I ran into BRIDEZILLA and it was by far my worst experience in photography. Totally frustrated me to no end. Do you have any advice on THAT SUBJECT?

[@codith7456]

I’ll be shooting my first wedding this June. Excessively nervous. I’ll for sure be watching a ton of your videos before hand to prepare

[@post-monk671]

I love how this is really easing me into feeling confident in my journey with Wedding Photo & Video. Thank you!

[@EagleEyedSheLion]

I would say the kit lens exception might be the Nikon z 24-70mm f4 S, yes the 2.8 is better but damn that’s a good kit lens and can lead to some amazing photos

[@daniellavasco4152]

I was contemplating getting the 24-70 for a wedding and using a 50 for reception.

[@SightglassPhoto]

Something magical about Lemonade at a wedding 😍

[@hannahconti1506]

The beginning really calmed me down about shooting my first wedding

[@MikeMikeYT]

Good luck!

[@darth_bagel]

Me too!! 😆

[@queerfoto]

What happened to the other intro? I loved it. Thanks for cranking out so much good stuff the last few months. Also, your song at the beginning is so amazing. I can’t even 😂

[@eileengalindo4949]

Really like this video. Very informative. Thank you!

[@joncothranphotography9375]

What do you think of the Denis Reggie Wedding Photojournalist style? He keeps it simple and does only a few posed images. I was able to shoot my first wedding as a second shooter last weekend. It was for sure a learning experience. I took the more candid shots, send off, and the reception. Thanks for all of your advice!

[@charlieallen6223]

Awesome video mate, keep it up!

Shot my first one earlier this week. Sony A9|| and prime lenses. ‘Sprayed and prayed’. Ran around like a crazy man. Got well over 1000 pics between practice, dinner and ceremony. Now to Light Room and to thin the heard to about 50.

[@ishootchampions8435]

Thank you for this video. Its very insightful

[@jerome7249]

Your videos have helped me allot

[@kevintownsend5440]

Perhaps a "dumb" question but I am newer and a Nikon shooter with a Z6. Do you always shoot in continuous focus mode? If so, do you have it set to shoot based on focus or button push? Your videos are not just informational, they are usually pretty funny. Thank you from So. California

[@eileengalindo4949]

Nice song man, very creative, thanks for the video :).

Sugar restores glycogen stores quickly which 100% makes sense why it would help . Same way us bodybuilders drink intra workout carbs to replenish as we are depleting stores

[@ncphotos]

Thanks for posting

[@saiaint1443]

For beginner wedding photographers, what would you suggest on how to charge them?

[@saraplank1078]

As a fellow beginner on my third wedding, I actually do small weddings for $50-250. It really depends on your experience, your ability to market yourself, and showcase how much you’re worth. That will usually come with building up a camera gear setup, a great portfolio, and a website. For a professional wedding photographer who charges $1500-3000, you have to truly deliver for that hefty price!

[@toliyshow8157]

Love the intro

[@zendog8888]

I'll also throw in. Insure your gear. Accidents happen. And the more you shoot the more likely it will happen. If someone bumps into you. And you don't have a few grand laying around to replace your gear. That can put you out of work for months. So get insurance to get you new gear replaced or fixed asap

[@cedricmorgan2519]

About to shoot my first wedding, one camera, one battery, four lenses and none of them are a 24-70mm, camera is a canon 5D, D is for dinosaur and it’s showing it’s age so yeah it’s the first 5D, bills, taking care of family and other things i can’t ignore financially kept me from upgrading, not getting paid for this shoot but I’m still gonna go that extra mile to do my best, hell yes I’m in over my head 😥, at least I got to visit Puerto Rico

[@kevinlee8306]

With covid and all, I’m finding it harder to second shoot for wedding photographers. What would you recommend I do to break into the wedding business? Thanks, love your work btw

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

This is an interesting topic actually. I’ll try and make a video about it next week when I’m back home!

Yes. Absolutely

50mm f1.8 kit lens ain't too bad.. zooms, not so much..

Coconut oil. It has MTCs which is quick energy for the brain. Healthier than sugar. Especially if your on keto.

Great video thanks Taylor. Hearing you say that you are introverted helps me a lot. I have had many people ask me to do weddings but can’t break the fear factor. Hopefully soon I will bite the bullet @mattorrz if interested. Cheers 🍺

Go for it sir I was an introvert for the longest but this year 2020 has changed my mindset and been gaining so much opportunity and been interacting more than I ever been

it's not free. it says $19.

600!!! Do people want 600 photos of their wedding 😱

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

For what it’s worth, this is much lower than what a lot of photographers deliver.
