Wowww thanks!!! This is amazing ❤❤
What! My friends are in this video. I see you photographed Ryan & Sue. So cool! 👏
I prefer zommiessssß
I got some great shots after this video! Happy to share!
I'm not at all happy with your aperture settings recommendations. Are you saying you use f/1.4 to f/2.8 for portraits with full frame or APS-C? You don't need as wide of an aperture for portrait to get bokeh. Why are you using a wide aperture? For low light? Do you use a wider aperture for wider shots because there is less bokeh and when you do an 85mm portrait shot you're at f/2.8 to get the same bokeh? I know the answer, you didn't clarify this very well. What is the minimum aperture you found to be acceptable for low light at weddings? This is more important, not the style you choose.
I think we should see you shoot the entire wedding with the X-700….and just for fun do it with one that hasn't had its capacitors replaced…just for that extra risk factor LOL JK
Great tips!
B was APSC right? 🙂
Nice X700, my X500 will shoot some rolls at a wedding tomorrow 🙂
Not me watching this 10 minutes before the wedding 😭
Honestly learned a lot. Heading to your photo editing video now!
I was thinking to get a 35mm next my 85mm. Is the 50mm not to close?

Great job!
GREAT VIDEO!! No BS, straight to the point with great tips and info, LOVE IT!!!! I will keep following your videos!
seriously good video
So…when you set up a two off camera flashes on the dance floor…and I swear, this part is so scary for me…do you measure the light, or what formula do you use? For instance, how much power would you put on key light, and how much on hair light? (1/3 of the key light? 1/2?) Do you use light meter for the dance floor or just fire a few test shots and then adjust accordingly?
To contribute and provide constructive feedback, you are a tall photographer, and I've noticed that you often take photos from above, which makes your subjects, especially the brides and grooms, appear shorter. It's essential to shoot from a lower angle to elongate your subjects.
It’s an entire undergraduate program in photography in under 7 minutes!!!!!
A – crop, B – full frame. Correct?
candid shots are so better looking than posing
Thanks man! I have my first wedding tomorrow 🙂
this was really good video!!! do you use flash modifiers indoors or outdoors??
Really useful video Josiah. Love it
I appreciate the "No BS" in the title but I personally think the interludes of TV-memes are actually just a distraction and fuel for people's attention issues.
Edit: I take it back, this video was great! Thanks for all the tips.
Good tips but please speak a bit slower!
Off camera flash for weddings should only be done if you have an assistant to move them as needed because trying to place them in an optimal spot on your own is not advised. Also I would avoid primes except for private candid shots of just the couple if time permits. Zooms are much better to document the wedding accurately. I’m an actual wedding photographer.
