If this was a Netflix show I'd binge the whole season. Great job Matt and Rachel! This was hella enlightening!!🙌

[@whoismatt]

😂 thank youuuu

[@knucklesbyname]

It would be amazing.

[@ErwinScofield]

That’s actually a great idea! A show on cable network, like Hallmark or something.

[@sydneysmith2388]

Same!

[@amuseworkshop8883]

I'm going to be honest man -- I don't shoot weddings, and I don't have interest to, however your channel and content is just so entertaining. I enjoy the energy and positive vibe. Keep it up and and thanks!

[@gilbertogranados3018]

I dont think a lot of people truly realize how valuable this video really is, this is pure gold Matt, so much real world information that any smart videographer would treasure, thank you brother

[@thefivews4630]

Me the whole time: Dang Rachel's killing it, get that shot! And she's so good at facilitating the questions for them. 🙌

[@whoismatt]

She’s so happy you said that!

[@iDealMedley]

I love how you interact with the couple. Sometimes when you're too stress out about your shot you forgot about tje interaction

[@JamieFergusonFilms]

How have I only just watched this. Learning everything I know from you dude thank you!

[@OmarZaldivar]

Yo Matt, Show your color grade process! I love the "golden" look on this shots...even the ones in interiors.

[@claudiagoodwinfilms]

I couldn’t look away!!! This was incredible, so helpful and SO beautiful. Even the way you to talk to everyone, from the bride and groom to the vendors, is amazing. You seriously rock!

[@dammgot8727]

From France, huge thank you man, you are a gift from heaven ! :)

[@nathanboresow2862]

"Fitness pizza in my mouth" lmao. Nice one Matt!

[@The5DollarFilmSchool]

The Sony A7iii is a beast of a camera in terms of low light and battery. I shot an entire feature on it, that got a bit of attention for its impressive cinematography. I really am loving sony for narrative and weddings. Shot a bunch of weddings on sony cameras and it always has done great work for me! Thanks Matt for posting this great behind the scenes video.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks! Love the a7iii

[@pavelvitek766]

Thanks man, we appreciate the effort. I love that you put the settings on screen

[@JCFrost]

Amazing to get to see the whole thing, thank you Matt!

[@msayweddingfilms]

Please make a video of what questions to ask for interviews I just love how the bride and groom express their feelings its natural.

[@camilominon9249]

The thing I see here si that you are very nice to people and committed to your work, so whenever you come and start filming everyone is comfortable. I really like this. Matt's very charismatic

[@brandonjohnson8848]

This was the best video I've ever watched. I'm just getting started with wedding videography and this video paints a very realistic expectation of my possible workflow. It also reminds me to relax and enjoy the occasion and not overly obsess about getting every shot perfect. Thanks, Matt. Truly amazing stuff man!

[@itsfozzy6488]

Love it . Like how you guys are able to adapt and joke around with the guys immediately and be able to make a great time out of it. Just about to film my first wedding video soon.

[@divenlaxman1977]

I have been watching and following all your videos for a very long time now. I am a wedding photographer and I'm very much inspired by you to do videos now. You are a great inspiration to a number of us and a true blessing. Your style is really special and you never hold anything back. Thank you, Matt.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Diven!

[@tylerpryor2582]

Best BTS I’ve seen! I’m not into doing weddings, but man this was so fun and informative!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Tyler!

[@Christina-Bobina]

Thank you Matt and Rachel for letting us all be a fly on the wall for your beautiful videos. It’s so great that you share so much with us and I appreciate the community big time!!!

[@whoismatt]

[@wordlv]

Loved this Matt!

[@user-cn4sr2mu9v]

Epic work Matt.

[@WeddingVideographyTips]

i like how u guys shoot, it's almost like u communicate telepathically :D, this is observed mostly during the Pool table shots, bride n groom getting ready.. its almost like u u know which shot the other person is getting without even asking them.. great content Matt! keep em coming bro.

[@tbeiber09]

I really like that interview style.

[@martinkottek4305]

Awesome again! A bit long video so took my couple days at work to watch it all :D But its really handy, many usefull tips. Thank you so much for doing all this for us!

[@neerajmahto7310]

I never skipped a single sec, lovely, you are doing great job 👍

[@edwintouches]

I can't believe my eyes. This one video answered all my questions about Wedding Videography. Thanks brother, and Rachel!

[@JeanPierrePianists]

Beautiful work.

[@TomLally]

Nicely done my man! Teach me you amazing camera dude! I will be doing one this year! But all fast paste and alternative. Peace and love.

[@haileepaige2858]

Loved the BTS for this wedding shoot. Got my first wedding shoot of the year this Saturday. This video couldn't have come at a better time to get me ready and excited for it.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks ace! Hope your wedding goes well!

[@ciccfilms4229]

Omg the audio is so good!!! I love the fact that the bride gets a white mic! Amazing attention to detail. Love it.

[@whoismatt]

Thank you!

[@RyanSotelo]

The side by side overlays was genius, amazing content man thank you!!!

[@Apatura123]

Awesome Behind the Scence! Love it!!!

[@misstoridanielle30]

I always love watching your BTS before a wedding shoot. I have to say, you are so calm!! I always feel like my mind is racing day of to make sure I get everything and that's even with a second shooter. So your calmness is a level I definitely want to work towards for sure haha

[@whoismatt]

😂 don’t worry my mind is racing inside!

[@andrewrolle]

Matt, We love you, but we also love Rachel. love that you included her views also.. What an awesome team. My wife and I are transitioning to fulltime wedding photographers in the Bahamas and are looking to you two for sooo much education. Thank you a bunch!! When you in the Bahamas, (Freeport) conch fritters and beer are on us.

[@raulgolfs]

Love this behind the scenes!!! Need this for my wedding vlog! Awesome job you guys!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Raul!

[@sydneysmith2388]

You’re awesome Matt!

[@nextadventurefilms_]

[@terminator88123]

Awesome vid. Thank you for the motivational advice

[@local9]

First minute, I'm laughing, damn I love your personality. Then you give me information on the shot, lens, settings, and then all this combined with a beautiful wedding and amazing couple. Couldn't ask for more. You're amazing!

[@EnzAirsoftBY]

The color grading is on another level... love it!

[@danthesoundmantaylor1371]

Seriously... and this is with no picture profile....?

[@crash1do]

I can't believe I cried during their vows too.

[@DrewTooley]

Love some good BTS from Matt. This is great content and thank you so much. With all that goes into filming weddings you take it a step up and provide educational content we can all really benefit from. Much appreciated

[@whoismatt]

Thanks drew! Been enjoying your videos

[@DrewTooley]

Matt WhoisMatt Johnson well thank you kind sir. They are fun to create. Your video came at a great time as our first wedding this season is this weekend. Nice to have a refresher after being in hibernation

[@dominick3579]

That was dope.

[@deanrebuyon3046]

Quarantine season means Binge watching quality contents like this ! :)

[@sebastianphilippebruggeman2775]

Amazing stuff! Thank you so much! I would only like to know when you focus manually on such a shoot? Best regards from germany!

[@derekmack]

Great BTS!

[@aight365]

Really helpful man thank you very much

[@RomuloOlavo]

Excellent like always Matt. Cheers from Brazil.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Romulo!

[@Culperrr]

Now I want to go film wedding videos. I hate videos like these because that means I feel the need to get off of my ass. You won this one Matt Johnson! Great video man.

[@ryanmatthew8204]

Your dad joke status is next level. Very inspired.

[@whoismatt]

This is one of the best compliments I’ve ever received

[@vzbeatz1706]

love the insight...

[@zeliproduction]

AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexgrau1884]

Super! Thank you very much!

[@adinwalls]

First wedding BTS that was entertaining... infotainment haha. Great work.

[@turboracing300zx]

Thank YOU !!

[@Amineshoot]

good job guys

[@SamMegan]

This is a great Matt, thanks for sharing an insight into your workflow on the day :)

[@whoismatt]

Thanks so much!

[@SamMegan]

Matt WhoisMatt Johnson one question...why were you on a gimbal most of the day but switched to a glidecam for portraits? For manual focus?

[@flufffam5970]

Great video brotha

[@hermesprime6024]

Hi Matt!Thank you very much for sharing your way of filming during a wedding day. It was really educational. One question I would like to ask is if you maintain your shutter speed double the frame rate throughout the day or do you crank up the shutter speed or use filters for outside conditions especially!?

[@refshotorcg7589]

I love this... Stay healthy everyone..

[@taylorjameslee]

This is great content Matt, thank you!! Are you often using manual or auto focus??

[@NicksFort]

Matt this is amazing! Totally inspired to make a BTS look at my commercial productions on this level, also what an insanely valuable way to learn a ton about the process. I don't even shoot weddings and I took some high value tips away regarding doc style cinematography!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks so much Nick! Would love to see something like this from a commercial shoot

[@NicksFort]

@@whoismatt Can't wait to make that happen!!

[@EDWARDOSORIA]

Amazing,thank you so much for this

[@whoismatt]

You’re welcome!

[@bokbokeh]

I just wanna know how you grade these it’s so beautiful!

[@MrLandbrot]

Thank you very much for this nice tutorial! You can learn a lot of it. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1157">19:17</a> what happenend there? Wrong focus Point?

[@vonpotatostein]

I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't shoot weddings, BUT I watched ALL the video because it was SUPER awesome! Keep on rockin' this beautiful art you do!

[@martydenson_mfm]

I enjoyed your BTS - thank you for giving us a look at your process. (note to self... I'm working way too hard shooting weddings. Lol) Dude, I could easily have about 1h 45 min. of bride prep footage alone. Same with groom prep.

[@colinandpaige]

GOOD STUFF MATTY

[@MichalOlender]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="106">1:46</a> were you using any filter? And what's the best way to expose right, when it's a sunny day, so I don't blow out highlights, and my shadows are not completely black? Thanks in advance Matt!

[@alvarojaureguipantigoso8526]

Great job

[@naeemalmalek3925]

AWESOME Locations

[@116Paul]

Great video! I learned a lot. How do you determine when to shoot in 30fps and 24fps? Do you finalize the video in 24fps and slow down 30fps if needed?

[@ryderriva]

Yess!

[@whoismatt]

You win first comment!

[@darrenknight897]

Hi Matt. Big love from New Zealand. Thank you for sharing so much with us - it really makes a difference. Sorry to be a pain, but could I ask why you switched from the gimbal to the glidecam later in the video? Thanks so much. Darren
