I was Using my 70-200 F4 G and had to bump the ISO to 4,000-5,000 lol at 100 Shutter speed. They came out not too bad now it’s just the edit that will complete it. One problem that I did have with the Church was the lighting inside of it…. I asked my friend are you sure it’s bright in there he said OH YEAH! Okay we arrive and I was like dude ur killing me I don’t have a freaking FLASH on me. He said your a good photographer u can do it 😰😰😰. I’m a car photographer lol I NEVER use a flash so now I went and bought a Sony HVLF46RM just to be rdy and set! Definitely like to get into flash portrait photography not too hard at all.
Excellent Video! Super concise! Super quick! And very clearly expressed! Glad to subscribe!
Did you take photos from the front during ceremony?
Thanks for this video. I'm gonna have myself a baptism session this weekend so this definetly it's gonna help to get some good shots ❤
Thanks for the tips.
I lower my shutter speed to as low as 1/80 at 200 mm if and only if the subject is standing there or sitting there, which for a catholic wedding that's mostly all they are doing.
How do you manage taking pictures in big groups in low light tho? Opening the aperture more will brighten the image but the focus won't be that great?
This aint dark environment though…

Did you shoot continuous mode when they was walking towards you ?
I’ll be shooting my first wedding tomorrow thank you for all your adivices !!
Why were your photos not grainy although it has higher ISO?
When shooting group formals, what aperture do you use please?
This deserves more views.
Thank u for this!
Great stuff! I'm shooting the ceremony (only) for a friend this week … not a full mass … very short. … You confirmed a lot of my thoughts: high ISO, bring a monopod, get ready with a flash for afterwards ('down the aisle' pix and maybe some 'church group' pix too). … … … Glad I stumbled upon your videos today, Joy Michelle! !
Is there a point when you say it's really too dark and setup flash? I know everyone has rules but I was shooting as 2nd shooter the other week and while I thought it was going be brighter in the ceremony space a rain storm came in and really made it dark. I was at iso 5000, f/2.8 , 1/100 of a second on the 70-200. I manged to do fairly good in terms of sharpness with these settings but in hindsight I really wish I had put up some lights. What are you thoughts on this?
SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST

Loving that the this is a video about shooting without flash, and there is a humungous flash on your camera!!!!! AND you mention the weight of the camera!!!! Priceless!!!
I gonna do simple wedding photoshoot will one camera will do?
I love how unintrusive you shot this! It's an intimate ceremony and it's kinda annoying seeing people darting about, flashes everywhere, etc.
Loving these behind the scenes!
It's crazy that you give us this information for nothing. Thank you very much :))
what flash do you use?
Thanks a lot!💜
Thank you for the great tips.
Hi Joy, quick question you mentioned a couple of things how you setup you flash in conditions like this one with low light, and which angle?
Thank you for the video
Love love love these behind the scene videos! Just love all of your videos! They have been so helpful!
This is how you shoot a ceremony without flash: Use flash sometimes.. 😛
What metering modes did you use?
Thank you so much for these videos. I shoot Olympus M43 and after seeing what you showed us i have no fear of grain or image quality with my low light shooting. Again very enjoyable instructions for wedding shoots.
Thank you so much for the video and the tips! May I please ask what kind of camera harness are you using?
Agree with you joy, now im trying to get the right exposure on the camera so im not waste time so much in lightroom
Love your explanation and example of photos ! So great
I love this video! It also reminds me to remind my brides to hold their bouquets down by their belly buttons, it's such a bummer hers was like covering her face when they walked back down the aisle!
Nice vid!
Last october we were in a church at Gyöngyöspata Hungary.Nikon Z6 70-200f2.8 f2.8 1/160 iso 5000 that was dark 😃 (no flash allowed) but it was not problem with z6
That is a church in Shiner, Texas I do believe. I have done one there.
