Nice setup. New subscriber. Your video for Lightroom import settings sealed the deal. Canon wedding shooter also. I LOVE that Think Tank rolling bag. I really don’t need it but I have some serious G.A.S.

[@jaylphoto]

It is a great bag. I have been using it for over 10 years and I have it packed to the max. Zero issues with it and can be a carry on if you fly with it.

[@danielcewphoto]

Thanks man. Try shower caps instead of ziplocks. Work pretty well.

There is one more reason to click on this video: Hoping to find out what the big fuss with wedding photography is. Seriously, beside the money I do not see any reason for the obsession with wedding photography.

[@madalin934]

You mean the money that pays the bills and puts food on the table? Yeah, that's no biggie 😂

[@stephan_1507]

@@madalin934 I asked what is it with Wedding photography BESIDE the money ... And still even in total amateur photographer groups people go crazy about Wedding photography. That the part I do not understand.

[@danielcewphoto]

@@stephan_1507 I love it because of the variety. It's all different genres of photo in one day. Still life, fashion, lifestyle, not to mention the different shooting scenes. Hotel rooms, outdoors, churches, dim rooms, awesome reception areas. It is fast pace, and if you are not up to it, and knowledgeable enough, you will crack, or get left behind. All good reasons to know your wedding photog does really know their craft.

[@intrinsicimagery]

Don’t care about Canon gear. Subscribed anyway.

[@felipefig10]

what strap system do you use?

[@jaylphoto]

I use the Holdfast Gear Money Maker when I carry 2 bodies. I use the peak design anchors on my camera to hook into for when I only use one body and then I use the Peak Design Leash.

[@jameslong1540]

try the Jupio Tri-charge for your batteries.

[@jaylphoto]

I'll check it out.

[@jaylee5142]

Love it

[@madalin934]

Nahhhhh, not enough gear.

[@jaylphoto]

😂 good point. I'll have to add some more!

[@MasonAyresCreative]

How can you be sure you'll get a return on your investment?? I'm trying to take a step further and upgrade my gear, but I'm low on funding and can't afford the dual card slot all wedding photographers should have. Just trying to look for a used r5 is expensive enough, let alone buying 2 or 3 $2000 lenses. Maybe I'm just broke and have to accept it

[@jaylphoto]

When I first started weddings I had 1 camera body and had a 24-105 and I would rent or borrow from a friend a second camera and lens everytime I had a wedding. I did that for 4 years because I was a broke college student at the time. You'll just have to be smart about your purchases. Don't buy stuff because you want it. Buy it because you need it to do a job. Used r5's will start to come down in price as more people get their hands on the R5 mkii. The R6 mkii is also a fantastic option for weddings at a much better price point.

Cool to see what’s in your camera bag. Great idea with the plastic ziplock bags to protect your cameras when shooting in the rain. Oddly enough, I am interested in that light stand. I have a Manfrotto Nano Plus light stand for speedlights. But I was looking for a more heavy-duty light stand if I upgrade to bigger strobes and softboxes. After doing research, the one you showed on-screen was one of my top contenders. The Impact Pro Light Stand (10.8', Black) on B&H Photo. How do you like using it? One of the main appeals to me is that it can go to 10-feet tall but folds down to 34.8 inches.

[@jaylphoto]

I really like. It will hold the AD 200s no problem and even with my light stands to the side of the room, they still get kicked and bumped into and I've only had one fall one time since I owned them. They can handle softboxes as well but you'll usually wanna put a sand bag on it if you're extending it to 10 ft With all that being said, I'm actually looking at getting 13ft light stands for my reception room lights. Ive run into problems with taller center pieces casting shadows onto the dance floor.

[@marcusavanti902]

I have had many, many small light stands and eventually found that those Mattews MERF stands are the best, relative to fold down size, stability and wight capacity. The main down side is they are relatively heavy but thats part of why they are good. I have 3 now.
