Is there a reason you don't do flat-lay style shots for groom details?
Nice example photos❤
Really good tips
I am shooting my 1st wedding vow renewal ceremony in 3 hours. Totally been freaking out, your videos have been a godsend! I have very limited space and locations so will be winging it a fair bit but I feel I have more of a grasp on what I need to do. Thank you so much!
EXTREMELY helpful!
You gave some good posing ideas. Thanks👍
I love Katelyn's voice cameo, "I deserved to be in the air conditioning" 🤣
I photographed weddings for 14 years (331 weddings :). I clicked on this video out of curiosity and it's good to see how much you enjoy weddings and how you've developed the process of successful groom prep. I was having flashbacks to every groom experience the went both well and bad while watching. I wouldn't touch a wedding no matter the cost, but it's good to see others making it work.
wish I had found this a couple of weeks ago, it’s brilliant
Really helpful, Thanks!!!!!
thank you so much for this video! So helpful!
Wow the husband and wife photographer dynamic is just priceless. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Nice video. I would have definitely been a lot better had you included some sample shots of each step or shot Michael was talking about so it resonates with us and we understand better what he means.
Ugh I want more !! 🙌🙌🙌❤️
Nice tip here
WOW!! This video is so helpful!! Thanks for all your insight and sharing your experience!
Humans have very little attention span nowadays, so I think it’ll be more conducive if you incorporate a lot more of the shots from the wedding throughout the video while explaining.
These are all great ideas!! I love your videos Michael, you are a natural!!
Thank you so much for sharing this content! Preparing for my second shooter role for my first wedding tomorrow and I'm super nervous!
Hey Michael random question that has nothing to do with the topic, but why 2 watches? just curious.
Great video! 🖤 thank you for sharing this content! I’ll be passing this along to my second shooters to help them get prepared!
Amazing. Thanks Michael and Katelyn for sharing this content! Gets me ready as the second shooter and the husband to capture some great get ready shots for my wife 😁
One of the main things I've had happen (or not happen) is the groom having no clue about detail shots or having anything ready ahead of time. I still gather up a couple things but they always just seem oblivious to that part
Two watches? You'll never be late for sure. I 2nd shoot all the time…let's see I can pick up a tip or two.
Great content. But also, why is Michael wearing two watches?
The best part of this video is KJ dropping in with the commentary. lol
Great info!! love it all!!
Enjoyed your breakdown very much! Gives me good ideas of how my flow can be improved! Thanks for putting it together!
