These BTS videos are priceless. And the couple seemed like some lovely people to work with. Like they were having a really good time with each other and also with you. To me, those positive vibes during a shoot are what makes wedding and couple photography soooo amazing. Even though it’s work, it can be super fulfilling.

I appreciate that! I hope there's lots to learn. ❤️

Your BTS videos are amazing! Just watching you at work would be great but the voiceover in which you explain all the whys brings them to another level! Thanks. And I really loved the veil shots, guess I need to do them more in my work.

Gosh natural light is just the best. Beautiful photos, lovely couple 🫶🏾

Thank you for giving us a behind-the-scenes look this beautiful couple. The way you direct your couples is so chill and professional. Your SENE suits look nice and the short hair is also a nice professional look. Wishing you continued success!

thanks John! love your content. 👍

i love me some john branch iv, he makes everything look so easy, making me feel like i can do it! keep giving us these kinda vids bro👏👏👏

For me, veil shots really induce anxiety. Some days it's a struggle and others I nail it first go. Having and assistant is a real bonus. Nice video John, thanks heaps. I hope the year picks up for you with the weddings. 👍

LOVE this BTS so much and know how you react with the couple!!!!I wanna asking for advises from John and other Fuji-experts. I am wondering to start my journey to Event/Wedding Photography with my Fujifilm lens. I currently owned an XT-3 and all lens I have are: XF18-55mm f2.8-4, xf16-55mm f2.8, and xf35mmf1.4...I wondering what lens or fuji-camera body should I buy to perform Event/Wedding Photography well, or should I sell all my zoom lens to get these gear, or all i've got is good enough to, THX John!!!!

beautiful couple & photos! you are very talented!!

Love the way you utilise that 16mm 🔥 I like the 20mm but always yearn for a 14mm.

@jbivphotography

Thanks a bunch. Wider angles are always fun to work with!

Great content! Thanks John! It is sad to hear that 16mm can't resolve new sensors. Almost makes it obsolete. But it is such a great lens. And pictures you got also look fantastic.

It’s only the 40mp sensor. But any of the other sensors that are the normal 26mp (X-H2s, X-T4, etc) Those cameras are fine.

Nice work J bird

Beautiful work as always John! The photos coming out of the GFX are stunning! How are you managing the files sizes when using a high megapixel camera from a storage perspective?

@jbivphotography

3 ай бұрын

Honestly the files really aren't that much of an issue. For this session since I was shooting with the X-T5 as well I put the GFX in 35mm mode which makes the files smaller + shooting in compressed RAW the files are about 37mb a piece which isn't so bad.

@@jbivphotography Oh ok so it's on part with the regular size file then. Thanks.

I use the 18mm f1.4 on my XT5 and the 55 on my GFX 50SII for wedding...nothing more...:-)

This is absolutely beautiful, such natural looking images. Question if I may; you went back after the wedding to shoot these, or is this more of a staged shoot setup? The last wedding I shot, the speeches ran for TWO HOURS (totally unplanned) so we lost all our portrait time. Consequently, we are meeting up at the venue when they get back from honeymoon and this actually feels like a really good idea.

This couple was going to elope but they still wanted nice photos. So this is basically a portrait session for their wedding since they're going to have a small wedding. Basically kind of like an engagement session.

What is dual sling your using with the bag?

The 16mm f1.4 was more like a 17mm if you compare it the 16mm f2.8 or 16mm on the 16-55 f2.8, I sold it and went with the 18mm f1.4 which has less distortion and Viltrox 27mm f1.2 for events. along with the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 and 75mm f1.2 there's not a lot you can't cover, and they all work with the 40mg sensor.

@jbivphotography

Interesting. For now I'm going to be moving back to the 16 f2.8.

Why worry about shooting in full frame mode? I shoot a mix of GFX and Nikon at weddings and always use the full medium format sensor. Not one of my clients has noticed and in my option it gives them more of a variety. The 4:3 aspect ratio is amazing!

True. I’m just being weird about having different aspect ratios but most people probably don’t even care

Does the 18mm works with the 40 megapixels?

It does. The 18 and the 16 f2.8 both work with the 40mp

I enjoy your videos. Thank you for the effort you put into it. Please be so kind to do a little series on exposing and editing images of clients with a darker complexion. Unless it is your target market, many photographers are not so frequently exposed to it, making it very complex. What is the right tone or brightness or contrast ? Then you get mixed couples also sometimes making it even more complex. Thx John
