Joy - a video of your FULL wedding day would be amazing - start to finish, getting ready to wedding couple exit. I LOVE the ones that kind of start us out in the car on the way to the first location, set us up as though we are the second shooter and you are filling us in on everything before the day starts. THOSE are the videos I watch the most, and they are the ones I learn from best. Watching and listening to you in the actual moment is HUGE, and it helps me the best. When you also then, go back and do voice overs to explain, that helps a lot as well. When you talk through your thought process on what you do and why you do it, that's what really helps us learn what works best. One of the things that I struggle with the most is just knowing how to pose them - in every situation, at every part of the day.

You were REALLY workin' it!!! So many great photos for the new Mr. & Mrs. to choose from. ... Love the 2nd shooter getting pix too. (And the 'sneaker' photo of the bride on the steps... fantastic!!!) ... This particular bride has an AWESOME smile, and she took your direction well. It all came together so nicely. ... ... ... ... ... ... One last point, and I defer to you on this (you're the pro photog, not me), but it has always been a pet-peeve of mine when wedding photographers wear anything other than black. I prefer them to blend in for a high-end ceremony. I (personally) find photographers wearing casual-ish clothes distracting as an attendee to the wedding. Again, my personal preference. But I defer to you since you've been doing this for so many years. ... ... ... Great work! You're skilled and passionate about your craft!!!

Thanks!! Happy new year! Honestly, my data doesn’t show exact settings so I cannot tell you 100% what I was using in that moment but for the most part I use TTL with an exposure comp when I’m using 1 flash and fully manual when it’s OCF because I find it wayyyyyyyy easier to control that way. But I know I had the flash at 1/16 power for a lot of details like these! My best advice is to get the camera settings where you like them and have the flash fill and play around with the exposure como from there :) thanks for watching

Awesome job, love the videos. I think a video on knowing how to be in the right place at the right time is a video I would be interested in. Like understanding a timeline and how to get what you need, and how to know when to do it.

Joy Michelle Photography totally understand and agree that experience is key. It’s something that I think about often and struggle with. Hoping it gets easier as I go. Maybe take a basic timeline from a wedding and then explain how you could break it down and try to plan when you would do certain aspects. Or maybe a video on how you approach preparing for a wedding or how you keep up with the photos that you need to capture on the day of. I usually have a check list of photos, a list of the combinations of people for the family stuff, the timeline, and an album with wedding inspiration poses on my phone (just in case I have a creative block during a posing session).
