Being Thorough Never Hurts Your Craft

Tip #1 is something I’ve come to realize - stay light weight with equipment, it’s a long day of exhausting work.

@3:15 - he recommends a 7200 lens, when you can’t get close to a couple, for instance during the ceremony.

Which will happen through out the day.

Tip #2 - Lens Choices 

- He recommend 18- 35 mm - films 98% of this on this lens

- He uses 35 mm for portrait shots

-7200 lens IS version, buy used

Tip #3 - Be CRAZY fast with settings

- He’s right it is crucial

- If you’re not crazy fast, practice before you shoot a wedding, because things happen so quickly.

- He is so right, you have to be on the ball with camera settings.

Practice going by a window then going to a dark corner.

Tip # 4 Stabilize your footage

I know this already- Monopod, glide cam, gimbal 

Tip #5 Tell a story

Some ways to do this are ask the bride and groom why they fell in love with them

His advice- think about progression and showing emotions, laughing or looking nervous

He suggests not showing them not fully dressed at beginning

Tip #6 - Focus on the Emotion

I agree, this is what makes an engaging, dynamic wedding edit.

Tip # 7 - Move Around

His advice was if your standing in the same spot for more that 2 minutes your wasting your time.

It makes your edit more interesting. Can’t really say this is my m.o. during the ceremony. 

Maybe I’ll take his advice.
