This video was awesome! I''m shooting my first solo wedding tomorrow and I was anxious about how the first look would go but this is SO helpful! Thank you 🙂
This is exactly how I do the first look. I’m almost always on my own but doing like you described still works like a charm.
Great work as always 😎🤌🏽

hey can you do some baby shoot
Hey, your exposures where all over the place even in manual. 😛
Wow! I would not have thought that 1/500 would have been necessary. Thank you for that gem!
So much good info!
Thank you
Great content!
Pye, appreciated seeing your techniques for this kind of a shoot. As a solo photographer it will always be my situation and it was great to see your organized (numbered steps) presentation. Thank you. I'm also imagining how a fill light would complicate the shoot so a bounce flash that didn't need to be repositioned as much would be useful. This also "reflects" how important step #1 is. 😁
i learn a lot. thank you! hoping someday i can afford a zoom lens f2. hayyyys….
Thanx Brotha!
You do have a 'silky smooth' voice going on, very nice to listen to – and yes, l managed to stay awake too. Lot's of super useful info. Thank you for sharing 🙂

I have been considering on becoming a second shooter. What do you look for in your second shooters and what is your advice for becoming a second shooter.
Here in Utah, it's common to have a first look and portrait session of the bride and groom before the wedding day, so I'm often shooting first looks by myself. I'm always struggling with trying to get both expressions at once, so this was very helpful. Thank you.
Great tips as usual Pye!
Gracias por comentar sobre estas fotografías que an quedado súper bellas que linda parejita felicidades sus bellas expresiones formidables !!! Thanks Señor ; this helped a Lot !!
Great video as always! I would love to learn more about delivering the photos to clients and how to export the photos. Do you deliver three different files to the client – photo files for social, photo files for prints, and large files for big prints? When taking photos I think about the way I am shooting whether I am to close the subject or too far how will the photos look when I crop them. Please help and would love to learn more about on your experience.
I’m not at the level where I can afford 2nd shooters so it’s always just me, this helped a lot!! Thanks.
