If yes, share your experience? Does it make any difference in the lead quality for you? (Lead quality? : Less ghosting, clarity on their budgets,responsive, increase in how often do u see purchases coming your way)

Also, how exactly are you using CAPI. Just browser and server side reporting or maximising value for conversions

We just booked our videographer and the contract says "up to 6 months". Is that normal? Or is it on the slow end? Need to know what to realistically expect. What was your actual wait?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to get into wedding videography as a hobby. I’ve made a few videos using my iPhone and really enjoyed the whole process, so I’d like to take the next step and buy a proper camera setup.

At least for now, I’m not trying to start a business or make money from it. I’m planning to film a few weddings for friends for free so I can learn, practise and see whether it’s something I want to pursue more seriously. Maybe eventually I’ll start charging a little, but that isn’t my main goal right now.

I’m also not planning to record the entire ceremony with multiple cameras and professional audio. My goal is mainly to create cinematic 5–8 minute highlight films that capture the atmosphere, emotions and important moments of the day.

My total budget is around $1,500. What camera, lens, stabilisation, audio gear and accessories would you recommend for a beginner?

I’m open to buying used equipment if that gives me better value. Thanks!

Hey gang! I’m a Chicago based wedding videographer who is shooting lead photo this weekend for a friends wedding! Urgently looking for a second shooter who can do photo for this Saturday, July 25th near Grand Rapids!

My second had something come up last minute so here we are, prowling Reddit with nothing but blind optimism and a dream. If you or someone you know is available this weekend and wouldn’t mind making a little extra coin, drop me a line!

I know we’re all video people mainly, but if you’re a hybrid shooter or have a friend or partner who does photo in the area, I’d love to hear from ya!

Thanks so much! 🥹

Please advise on what and how best to do at the first wedding and how to record sound properly? From the tech, I have a Sony a7iv +24-70 whale lens. There's an osmo pocket 4 that just came out on Dji mic 3 without a receiver.

I'm the videographer. Struggled with extreme depression, bankruptcy, etc. - whatever, my life was absolute hell. Worst year of my life.

I'm very well aware the delay is unacceptable, I'm not asking about that. The video is pristine and came out amazing.. I'm sure about that. I made the trip last year (flew to Italy to film a friend's 7 week wedding trip for only $2.5k) and gave them a absolutely massive discount. Then shit hit the fan. I'm about to send them the video. They're mad which is very understandable. Do I send it with a water mark? What would you do given my situation?

Yes I fucked up I already know unfortunately this is a drop in the bucket on how shit my life has been the last year.

I own a dance floor rental company and I just want to be able to put up a few videos of the floor on my website for clients to see. I have only had about 5 rentals since we are a few months old and no one had videos of them dancing on it.

I am looking for any videographers that have shot weddings that had a black and white checkerboard dance floor. First dance, reception/party anything will do. I will pay you for usage of your good clips!

Feel free to DM me or comment if you might have something like this!

I recently got my first 35mm anamorphic lens. Im very excited to start using it however it's the only anamorphic in my kit of spherical lenses. I'm worried about the potential compatibility when putting the clips into the final video of both spherical and anamorphic lenses.

Does anyone else run the 2 lens types together, or do you stick with one type?

Does cropping in the anamorphic clips to fit the 16:9 Spherical lens ratio come off as "too close"?

Looking for general advice on anyone who uses both lens types!

Thanks

Anyone have any insight to companies like Wedding Weekender, You Film Weddings, Press Record Co, etc? Companies where you rent a camcorder, capture your wedding weekend/ceremony, send footage back to them and they edit it into a video?

Please share good and bad experiences! Any info is helpful info!

Even a simple fire stick does so much post processing on the TV. Does vidflow have some special software to reset all the post processing that “smart” TVs do.

My amaran 60d died. Turns on and shuts down right away.
I am looking to get new lights maybe 2-4. I wanna be able to get small portable lights 60w to 120w range.

Wha do you guys use to light dark receptions or dark rooms for prep shots?

Also is it typical for folks to run lights at full blast during reception dances and speeches?

Here is my criteria: I would love for lights to have internal battery, but not a deal breaker. I would like for it to be dc over usb c due to usb charging you need the high watt cable and charging black. But if people have success with that please let me know. Other option is I’d prefer v mount over npf.

For the longest I’ve plugged in light into power but putting the light according to outlet sucks sometimes. So I’m looking to do battery powered light either internal or external. But scared of it dying mid speech.

What lights are you guys rocking? And are you running it full blast? How long are these lights lasting you?

I'm a seasoned wedding videographer, but always looking to improve!

I'm looking for educational videos that have content for how to help filming techniques, camera settings and more of a breakdown of how/why certain shots where acheived, if that makes sense.

I see lots of videos about upskilling about filming on weddings that are more simplistic, like a list of do's and dont's at weddings (do bring backup cameras, dont forget to look at the schedule etc etc). I' looking for education that is more like if you had a film mentor showing you the ropes of how they film. Any suggestions?

I have an upcoming wedding video shoot for a friend of mine. And I've been doing freelance videography for a year now and have been shooting social media content, and some event videography. But this will be my first time shooting a wedding video.

I pretty much have a cinema rig that I will be using for the wedding. I currently use a Sony A6700 paired with a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 lens (with a VND filter ofc).

I'm told that my current lens is a pretty good all-rounder lens. But for those seasoned wedding videographers, are there lenses that you recommend that would help elevate my filmmaking? Thanks!

(Just in case, below is my current camera build):
- Sony A6700
- Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 lens
- K&F VND filter
- SmallRig Cage + Top handle + Side handle
- FeelWorld T7 Pro Camera Monitor
- Rode VideoMic Pro Shotgun Microphone
- Ulanzi Fan cooler
- SmallRig B99 Pro V-mount battery
- Kingston V60 128GB SD Card

Hi!!

My fiance and I are getting eloped on a private dock in South Lake Tahoe in less than a month and we are looking for a videographer/photographer to hire!! I don’t know how many people can do both, but if we can find someone who can I would be so happy. I just want a short film as it will just be him and I but I want to be able to look back on it and have more than just still photos but I also would like to have photos.

I’ve been engaged for less than a month, we’re doing this on such short notice because we’ll be moving out of state in about a month because of college.

It would probably be around a two hour session. I’m looking to find someone who is $500 or less that does good work.

Please be kind, I’m just looking for some suggestions!

Hi there!

My name is Alex from Portugal and I’ve been a videographer since 2023 and this year I’ve been trying to get on the wedding business.

Anyone from Portugal around here? :)

I have a sequence that I would like to use in a wedding video but it has a rolling band that hardly moves at all. Is there a way to remove it, because it is kinda wide? I use premiere pro and I also tried the flicker free plugin but I had no success (maybe I didn't make the right settings). Had any of you luck of removing this kind of band?

A month ago I asked this sub for honest feedback on WEDDX, my Premiere plugin that does the first cut on wedding footage. Some of it was painful to read. Most of it was right.

The biggest one: a buyer from that thread ran a real wedding through it and got shaky clips in random order. Since then I shipped a review step, you see and swap the selected clips before they land on your timeline, and the selection now scores down shaky takes hard instead of letting them through.

A few of you said the landing page didn't show enough proof it works. I rebuilt it so there's a full demo on real footge now.

You asked for DaVinci support three times, unfortunately that won't be available anytime soon.

What should the next update fix?

Thank you guys again for writing feedback, this is an amazing community here :)
