thank you for watching!

The biggest thing I struggle with “in certain situations” is white balance. Even editing in Lightroom it’s hard to get each photo 100% in sync as some vary so you can’t set them all to say 3200k or 3400k

Some churches are definitely rougher than others. I usually shoot on AWB and the camera does a pretty decent job keeping things consistent. Editing wise I try and aim for "close enough" rather than perfect since if the WB is particularly challenging.

Nice coverage, Jason. Were all of the shots "available light"?

Thank you and yes! I avoid flash as much as possible during ceremonies because I feel it can be pretty distracting.

Using tje 85mm seemed to get you close enough for this wedding but I really do prefer my 70-200 for more variety. I just slow my shutter speed which works out so long as they are sitting or standing still which for a long ceremony, that's all they pretty much do. Sit there.

I think it's good to get in on the action from time to time but I'm just very comfortable on the 85. Can't go wrong with the 70-200 I myself and completing the new 70-180 G2 by Tamron.

You have quite big churches. here in Sweden, churches are usually much smaller and 85mm focal length rarely works. it usually gets too tight with the framing.

That was definitely a bigger church! I’ve worked at small churches where the Zeiss 55mm worked great. 85 is my favorite though.

@@jasonmontoyaphoto 85 is my favourite too, but usually outdoors. and so far I have only seen really small churches here in Sweden and as such, I usually have to settle with my 35 f1.4 or 28-75 f2.8. wish I could use the 85 or even 50.

good job, nice color on the pictures, how do you color grade? presets ?

Thank you!! Yep. I use a preset and highly recommend finding one you like as it cuts down editing time by a lot.

Hello, what settings do you use when taking photos in the church?

@jasonmontoyaphoto

Thank you for your question! I typically shoot at f1.8 or f1.4 with SS 1/250 and ISO auto on. With ISO auto i’m happy with anything below or at 3200 ISO. If the ISO goes above that then I’ll bring the SS to 1/125 and that does the trick. Every church is different but that’s typically how I approach it and it’s worked for me so far 😊

Nice Shots. Are you using Flash inside at any time during the wedding or when they were entering?

No flash. Can’t remember exact setting but i tend to shoot around f2 with SS between 1/125-1/250. ISO likely between 800-2000. Hope this helps!!

Shooting with no flash and high iso produces such noise I find.

I'm curious if you used a light or not

Nope! All natural light. Some churches are better lit than others. This was a well lit church

Hi Jason, I am from Brazil and weddings are almost the same ... However, I see many KZread videos (like yours) and all of them the photographer is never in the middle of the aisle .. The shots of all entrance (groom, bride, parents etc) are always shot ´sideways´ and never in the center of the aisle ... is it prohibited to stay in the center of the church (basically in front of the pastor / priest etc)?

Oi Kássio! Thank you for your question. I choose not to go in the middle of the aisle because I don’t like attracting attention to myself. I prefer for the attention to be on the wedding party plus being off to the side helps me capture more candid images. I hope this was helpful!
