After I initially instruct them what to do I don't intervene at all once the bride turns around. I only step in after that when the couple lets me know they're ready to move on. Hope that helps.

Appreciate that bro - glad to have you! That’s awesome - I really love these cameras they’re truly so close to perfect for wedding photography. I always use full mechanical shutter. Photographers at wedding have always inherently had shutter noises so I don’t think it’s a nuisance to anyone but I do agree I think the EFC is a nice quiet alternative. Especially if you don’t have to worry about flicker from ambient lights. I just don’t like that it changes the bokeh.

@@SteveMichalak Yes, good point about the bokeh. I also got caught out with EFCS shooting high shutter speed bursts, on a beach in full sun. Lots of frames had a vignette along the long edge of the frame. Sony even mention this problem on the online manual. Fixable in post but a real pain. So full mech with high shutter speeds now.

Honestly you can score the setup pretty cheap! Two of these: amzn.to/3RKNtBo is all you need and a sturdy belt. I use an Anson Invicbelt.

A must have 👊🏼

I’ll take it! But the sun doesn’t bother me either haha

I’m either in full or expand spot. Probably expand spot for those.

Thank you - happy you found it helpful!

Hey bro, yes linked here: amzn.to/4bROTSC I use two of these

Got you 👊🏼

I believe the higher MP cameras suffer a bit more in low light but the A74 is very good. I'm very comfortable pushing it to 4,000 ISO. I have some usable frames at 6,400 even. The key is not underexposing for low light shots.

You're in the right place! Happy to have you 🙌🏼

Usually 2-3 hours before. We use the time after to capture all the wedding party and immediate family photos.

The sun was in and out bud. Crazy, right? We had more than one take and not every frame is usable. Sorry it wasn’t at the exact moment for one on-screen frame. I’m such a fraud.

@@SteveMichalakkind of defeats the purpose of showing how something’s done if you show a photo that wasn’t taken during the BTS. Stay sassy big boy.

@@kkfaerber don't make me blush

50mm 1.2 GM is my workhorse. Used for every frame in this video.

@@SteveMichalak Thank you for responding.

I shot video when I started out shooting weddings and sony was crushing it at that time. They also turned out to be great hybrid cameras so it was an easy transition into photo, plus I was invested in sony glass so a switch would have been expensive.

Thanks bro 👊🏼

Very good

Happy you found it helpful. I’ve got lots of tips but mostly just being aware of the timing for everything. Follow the 30/30/30 rule for family, wedding party, and bride and groom portraits. Have a few signature “safe” poses to go through that are must haves. Be prepared for a fast paced day and just be ready to adapt to something not going exactly according to plan. Shoot me a dm on IG if you have any specific questions. Good luck!

You’re welcome bro

Thanks man! Hey, you never know!

Appreciate you bro 👊🏼

Awesome! Glad you’re finding it helpful/useful. I attach the GoPro to a hot shoe mount made for GoPro then put it right on the hot shoe of the camera.

You got it man. Honestly it’s just an underrated tool.

You got it bro 👊🏼

I use film emulation profiles by The Archetype Process: thearchetypeprocess.com

Hey Anthonie I use mats from Chasing Stone and Locust Collection. They're both great.

@@SteveMichalak Thanks so much!

@@AnthonieErazo you got it bro

Of course! F4 can be pretty tough for dark receptions but just work with whatever you’ve got and upgrade as you go.

The A74 has very good autofocus. I make sure I have eye priority on for all portraits, shoot in continuous AF, in wide mode for most portraits. For some flay lay I will go up to f2.8-f4 if there are multiple layers of elements but even for those I tend to hover around f2. I only use wide and spot for autofocus. I’ve got a whole video dedicated to how I use autofocus for Sony. Find it here: m.ruclips.net/video/qoO9KDWsJSw/видео.html

Thanks?...

The 50 1.2 is so good but that 55 1.8 is 80% as good and so much lighter smaller, so I don’t blame you.

Thank you

Nope they’re all wedding day elements and florals besides the small white dishes

Hey Sarah - I'm on two bodies for majority of the day. I shot this particular ceremony on 35mm and 50mm primes. It was fitting for this ceremony but most of the time if it is more spacious/outdoors I go 35mm + 70-200mm.

Yes indeed. thearchetypeprocess.com they are film emulation presets. Mostly I use Portra 400 Frontier.

1.4-1.8 even for group shots. As long as everybody is on the same plane, there’s no need to shoot at f4, etc. Occasionally I’ll go up to 2-2.2

@@SteveMichalak On the walking shot with the full wedding party how is everyone in focus at such a wide aperture? This is also something I struggle with, missing focus in group shots even when shooting at f/2. Same with flat lay details, my camera wants to focus on one small thing and blows everything else out. Shooting with Canon btw.

I’ll put that in the queue for a possible video. I appreciate the comment!

I see what you mean! I’ll consider that for future videos 👊🏼

For the rings, yes. 90mm f2.8 Loawa Macro.

Appreciate it Dann!

Glad you found it helpful! I think it’s important to not just over-commentate so folks see what what’s actually playing out in real time.

Thanks man! More coming 👊🏼

I am having this same issue. Im on a mac book pro and its driving me insane. Quicktime works, but then when I upload it to youtube the colors are shifted.

@@CharlesAndrulisI’m having the same issue. Thought I was going mad with something I did wrong. How did you resolve the export issue?

Can you make another video on this please?

Not wasting anyones time around here

You got it!

You got it man!
