    Loved these tips! Especially in regards to not focusing on only the details but the story of the couple. Many couples see the generic wedding films online and think that’s every film but we have to convince them that their story’s is worth more than a slow motion montage. We’ve been digging much deeper with our couples lately and they loved us for it because we gave them something they weren’t even expecting.

    The standard frame rate for wedding videos was 30i until around 2011, and the style was more of a live video format. It was a lot harder to get a film look back then if you weren't actually using film.

    I’ve been filming weddings since September 2015. I used to be pumped going into a wedding day. Even if it was an 8-10 hour wedding I would be up for it. Over the past few years I have been filming fewer weddings. Most of them I filmed as a contractor for other companies. I have questioned my own commitment and ability to grow my side hustle as a wedding videographer. Now, I’m married with a 6 month old. I started a new job in a new industry. I’m not sure if I’m ready to leave wedding videography. I’m taking the year off to decide. If I decide to keep going I would want to challenge myself to grow the business somehow. Otherwise, it’s better to quit and balance time between my job and my family. Just telling myself it’s okay to take a year off is hard when I’ve been doing this for so many years. I hope you all can find peace in your decisions no matter which direction you choose ❤

Literally just sold mine, it was my starter camera (Blessed to say that) and served me well, just trying to pair color grades with my Sony camera's is a drag especially in low light conditions where the full frame camera's really shine.

    I use a Canon C70 as my A-cam for weddings, but I have 2 GH5 and 2 GH5S for ceremonies and speeches. Still absolutely love these cameras, even though they aren't my main cams, they're still an integral part of my wedding day shoots! I picked up my last GH5 for $350 on FB marketplace with 2 batteries and a charger and it was pretty much mint!
