These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:03,850 --> 00:00:04,910 Bridal party. 2 00:00:05,250 --> 00:00:06,110 Bridal party. 3 00:00:06,250 --> 00:00:07,730 So this is another part of the wedding 4 00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:10,510 day that we actually don't pour a ton 5 00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:12,010 of creative energy into. 6 00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:13,830 We try and get it done as quick 7 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:16,330 as possible and we try and keep it 8 00:00:16,330 --> 00:00:19,650 as light and fun as possible as well. 9 00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:23,290 Right and that goes for at our workshops, 10 00:00:23,430 --> 00:00:24,490 real in-person workshops. 11 00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:27,390 This is one of the most fun parts 12 00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:30,390 because what we would do with you is 13 00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:33,510 you would become the bridal party for us 14 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:36,370 and we would demonstrate for you exactly sort 15 00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,530 of how we coach them and get the 16 00:00:38,530 --> 00:00:39,090 shots right. 17 00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:41,690 Yeah and basically what we're trying to do 18 00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:43,170 is we're directing moments. 19 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:44,990 So when we're with the bridal party we're 20 00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:49,590 directing moments and scenarios to give us something 21 00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:52,710 interesting to photograph because people just standing in 22 00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:55,090 a line looking formal at the camera isn't 23 00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:56,450 very interesting for me. 24 00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:58,810 But actually I would say we're not directing 25 00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:02,890 moments as much as we're allowing them to 26 00:01:02,890 --> 00:01:04,129 direct their own moments. 27 00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:04,730 That's true. 28 00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:08,570 So and we get this request a lot 29 00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:10,390 especially in the questionnaire that we sent out 30 00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:11,030 our clients. 31 00:01:11,330 --> 00:01:13,690 They always say I want fun bridal party 32 00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:14,610 shots right. 33 00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:17,030 That's and we know that's a common request 34 00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:17,930 among wedding photographers. 35 00:01:18,110 --> 00:01:19,810 We really want fun bridal party shots like 36 00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:21,850 maybe we could be jumping or we could 37 00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:24,350 have a Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing us and my 38 00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:26,510 answer to that is always okay we can 39 00:01:26,510 --> 00:01:29,150 do fun bridal party shots but your bridal 40 00:01:29,150 --> 00:01:31,730 party has to be fun in order for 41 00:01:31,730 --> 00:01:32,890 the photos to be fun. 42 00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:36,810 Okay so Landy and I have to make 43 00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:37,210 it fun. 44 00:01:37,690 --> 00:01:39,430 It's our job to make it fun. 45 00:01:39,550 --> 00:01:41,870 So we've got a few different little games 46 00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:42,770 that we play. 47 00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:45,050 But first we start with just the straightforward 48 00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:46,090 standard shots right. 49 00:01:46,390 --> 00:01:48,610 Yeah generally we start with a straightforward standard 50 00:01:48,610 --> 00:01:50,990 shots which is very similar to the family 51 00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:53,690 formals where they're standing the bride and groom 52 00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:54,170 are in the middle. 53 00:01:55,710 --> 00:01:57,850 I there's an equal number of bridesmaids and 54 00:01:57,850 --> 00:01:58,310 groomsmen. 55 00:01:58,430 --> 00:02:00,470 I'll do boy girl boy girl boy girl 56 00:02:00,470 --> 00:02:01,970 boy girl on each side. 57 00:02:02,090 --> 00:02:04,250 And then we just have them you know 58 00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:06,570 standing if the bride and groom are in 59 00:02:06,570 --> 00:02:09,090 the middle like this then everybody on this 60 00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:10,790 side standing with their left shoulder forward and 61 00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:12,470 everybody on this side standing with the right 62 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:13,130 shoulder forward. 63 00:02:14,230 --> 00:02:16,390 Then just like a normal family family formal 64 00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:16,950 right typical. 65 00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,170 In fact sometimes it happens right after the 66 00:02:19,170 --> 00:02:20,570 family formals in the same location. 67 00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:23,810 Yeah and then then we'll start inserting some 68 00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:24,430 fun stuff. 69 00:02:24,570 --> 00:02:26,070 So we've got a few different games that 70 00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:26,610 we play. 71 00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:29,670 These we cannot take credit for. 72 00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:31,890 We learned these from our friend James Day. 73 00:02:32,510 --> 00:02:34,650 If you're not familiar with James Day's work 74 00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:36,030 he's a photographer out of Australia. 75 00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:42,730 He is probably the most fun photographer in 76 00:02:42,730 --> 00:02:43,170 the world. 77 00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:45,530 Especially for bridal party. 78 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:47,550 He's the king of bridal party. 79 00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:50,770 He's been like two hours yeah photographing the 80 00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:52,470 bridal party and he'll have them in stitches 81 00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:53,830 the entire time. 82 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:54,850 They have the time of their lives. 83 00:02:54,970 --> 00:02:55,710 They have the time of their lives. 84 00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:56,950 I don't want to spend two hours with 85 00:02:56,950 --> 00:02:58,470 the bridal party never in my life would 86 00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:59,050 I want to do that. 87 00:02:59,110 --> 00:03:01,090 But we've got those these games from him. 88 00:03:01,430 --> 00:03:03,530 Yeah he's a good friend of ours and 89 00:03:03,530 --> 00:03:04,730 he's given us lots of tips. 90 00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:06,990 So not all of them we've got from 91 00:03:06,990 --> 00:03:08,130 him but some of them we've got him. 92 00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:11,490 So they're standing they're smiling looking at the 93 00:03:11,490 --> 00:03:11,770 camera. 94 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:14,110 After that one I usually do something along 95 00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:17,730 the lines of it sounds so ridiculous saying 96 00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:19,370 it to a camera while I'm videotaped. 97 00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:21,210 It's way better in real life but I'll 98 00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:23,010 say something along the lines of the bride 99 00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:25,610 and groom are like peanut butter and jam. 100 00:03:25,950 --> 00:03:30,530 And you guys are pieces of bread and 101 00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:32,570 I want you to squish the bride and 102 00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:34,490 groom until the peanut butter and jam come 103 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:35,490 out the sides of the bread. 104 00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:38,010 And we usually get a good moment there. 105 00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:40,670 The important thing is is the camera is 106 00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:41,870 up the whole time. 107 00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:44,910 Because there's the moment where they squish and 108 00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:46,410 then there's the release of the moment. 109 00:03:46,730 --> 00:03:48,490 And the release of the moment where they're 110 00:03:48,490 --> 00:03:50,970 laughing at the ridiculousness is what's really funny. 111 00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:53,390 Yeah and this is a good starter one 112 00:03:53,390 --> 00:03:54,730 because what we're trying to do is get 113 00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:59,010 them loosened up warmed up kind of you 114 00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:01,550 know just get them being who they are 115 00:04:01,550 --> 00:04:02,150 as friends. 116 00:04:02,270 --> 00:04:06,170 You know often our bridal parties are lifelong 117 00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:06,710 friends. 118 00:04:06,950 --> 00:04:07,050 Yeah. 119 00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:09,930 And you know that what they've done all 120 00:04:09,930 --> 00:04:11,790 their life when they get together is not 121 00:04:11,790 --> 00:04:13,670 dress up and stand prim and proper right. 122 00:04:13,710 --> 00:04:15,130 They have fun and they goof off. 123 00:04:15,230 --> 00:04:17,329 So we're trying to get them back into 124 00:04:17,329 --> 00:04:18,010 that state. 125 00:04:18,350 --> 00:04:19,649 Give them permission to be themselves and do 126 00:04:19,649 --> 00:04:20,829 what they do as friends. 127 00:04:21,050 --> 00:04:21,150 Yeah. 128 00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:22,790 So we'll just give you a few more 129 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:24,210 examples of some of the games that we 130 00:04:24,210 --> 00:04:24,470 play. 131 00:04:24,670 --> 00:04:26,710 Right and I would say that after that 132 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:28,490 first one once we move into these next 133 00:04:28,490 --> 00:04:31,550 ones it's for the right bridal parties only. 134 00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:33,530 And we'll know ahead of time like we'll 135 00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:36,110 get we'll have a sense of yeah these 136 00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:37,470 games aren't gonna fly for this bridal party. 137 00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:38,690 And it's fine and we sort of know 138 00:04:38,690 --> 00:04:40,490 and we don't but with the right bridal 139 00:04:40,490 --> 00:04:42,470 party you know when the clients want to 140 00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:44,210 have fun photos we'll start to go into 141 00:04:44,210 --> 00:04:44,990 some of these kind of games. 142 00:04:45,150 --> 00:04:45,510 Yeah for sure. 143 00:04:45,970 --> 00:04:47,690 So one of them is secret telephone. 144 00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:52,290 Right where I'll say who who's the dirtiest 145 00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:53,570 person on your bridal party. 146 00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:56,410 And they'll usually laugh and they'll pick someone 147 00:04:56,410 --> 00:04:58,010 up pick someone and they'll go to the 148 00:04:58,010 --> 00:04:59,170 one end of the line and I'll say 149 00:04:59,170 --> 00:05:01,010 who's the loudest person on your bridal party. 150 00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:02,570 That person will go to the other end 151 00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:04,430 of the line then I'll say to the 152 00:05:04,430 --> 00:05:07,410 dirtiest person I want you to think of 153 00:05:07,410 --> 00:05:11,150 something at least x-rated and whisper it 154 00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:12,710 into the person's ear next to you. 155 00:05:12,990 --> 00:05:14,370 And then that person is gonna whisper it 156 00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:15,630 to the next person until we get to 157 00:05:15,630 --> 00:05:17,830 the end of the line and then you're 158 00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:19,350 gonna yell it out as loud as you 159 00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:19,650 can. 160 00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:23,170 Okay and cameras are off the entire time. 161 00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:25,110 Yeah as they as they start you know 162 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:27,990 doing it relaying the message you'll start to 163 00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:31,270 see these really cool little moments between each 164 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:32,190 other as it's happening. 165 00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:34,190 It's not it's not just that final big 166 00:05:34,190 --> 00:05:36,270 belting out the dirty phrase at the end 167 00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:38,290 and then the laughter that happens it's everything 168 00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:39,910 leading up to you get all these money 169 00:05:39,910 --> 00:05:41,250 little moments between each other. 170 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:44,010 Yeah so is that um then there's the 171 00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:44,870 batshit crazy game. 172 00:05:45,090 --> 00:05:47,230 Okay so the batshit crazy game which is 173 00:05:47,230 --> 00:05:48,350 a total James Day original. 174 00:05:48,630 --> 00:05:49,530 Yes can I take a stab at this 175 00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:49,690 one? 176 00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:49,950 Yes. 177 00:05:50,130 --> 00:05:51,990 Okay totally James Day is the king of 178 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:54,550 this but with the right bridal party it 179 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:56,170 can help you get some really cool fun 180 00:05:56,170 --> 00:05:58,610 type shots because the thing the thing with 181 00:05:59,090 --> 00:06:02,030 fun photos is if we direct it like 182 00:06:02,030 --> 00:06:03,710 if we tell them to do something ridiculous 183 00:06:03,710 --> 00:06:05,830 like like throw the bride up in there 184 00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:07,490 they're gonna look look at us like we're 185 00:06:07,490 --> 00:06:07,850 ridiculous. 186

189 00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:15,790 with these crazy ridiculous ideas then it's much 190 00:06:15,790 --> 00:06:17,530 less awkward and we get something much more 191 00:06:17,530 --> 00:06:18,730 unique and interesting so. 192 00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:19,750 And unpredictable. 193 00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:22,550 Yeah so the batshit crazy game looks something 194 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:24,250 like this we're all lined up okay guys 195 00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:27,230 so this is called the batshit crazy game. 196 00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:32,210 Okay so on a scale of of one 197 00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:35,430 to ten you know one being super tame 198 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:37,670 and lame and ten being the most batshit 199 00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:40,730 crazy thing you can imagine like one one

think of four like like like like 206 00:06:59,050 --> 00:06:59,970 like the Harlem Shake. 207 00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:01,390 Gangnam Style. 208 00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:04,550 Gangnam Style would be like a two out 209 00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:04,850 of ten. 210 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:09,470 Maybe three okay so now they're getting an 211 00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:11,430 idea of this batshit crazy scale and so 212 00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:13,670 they're starting to nod okay okay okay so 213 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:16,450 you guys we want you to come up 214 00:07:16,450 --> 00:07:18,830 with pick a number. 215 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:20,370 Three out of ten. 216 00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:20,910 Start low. 217 00:07:21,530 --> 00:07:23,390 Three out of ten and so they start 218 00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:25,030 looking at each other and at this point 219 00:07:25,030 --> 00:07:26,230 often it's still a little bit awkward. 220 00:07:27,690 --> 00:07:30,330 Yeah what do you mean like hey it's 221 00:07:30,330 --> 00:07:31,690 up to you guys right and we'll let 222 00:07:31,690 --> 00:07:32,750 them kind of huddle in and come up 223 00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:33,930 with a plan and we get ready with 224 00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:35,270 our cameras and then we say okay you 225 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:37,750 guys ready let's see let's see that three 226 00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:39,850 out of ten and usually what happens is 227 00:07:39,850 --> 00:07:42,450 something really lame because they're awkward and people 228 00:07:42,450 --> 00:07:44,570 aren't sure and they do something really lame 229 00:07:44,570 --> 00:07:46,630 and then we call them out on it. 230 00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:50,250 Yeah just remember while you're doing this and 231 00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:51,550 we talked about this at the beginning of 232 00:07:51,550 --> 00:07:53,130 the course you have to go through that 233 00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:54,890 failure to get to the success. 234 00:07:55,050 --> 00:07:57,730 Even with this they always do something lame 235 00:07:57,730 --> 00:07:59,150 at first expect that. 236 00:07:59,330 --> 00:08:01,550 And so then we tell them that was 237 00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:04,010 like that was a 1.5. That was 238 00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:06,110 a 1.5 out of 10 at best. 239 00:08:06,130 --> 00:08:07,310 And now we're kind of posing a bit 240 00:08:07,310 --> 00:08:08,630 of a challenge they're starting to feel a 241 00:08:08,630 --> 00:08:10,210 little bit challenged like oh okay well we 242 00:08:10,210 --> 00:08:11,570 can do better than that and so now 243 00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:13,490 they're warming up and we're like all right 244 00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:14,530 we want to see a five. 245 00:08:14,990 --> 00:08:16,090 You guys have a five out of ten 246 00:08:16,090 --> 00:08:16,390 in you. 247 00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:18,150 So then they're taking it a bit more 248 00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:20,730 seriously now and somebody's got an idea and 249 00:08:20,730 --> 00:08:22,070 if you've had like throughout the day if 250 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:23,810 you've had a groomsman or a bridesmaid who's 251 00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:25,850 the one with all these ideas about this 252 00:08:25,850 --> 00:08:28,290 jumping photo I got this idea that I 253 00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:30,390 saw it's like okay I got the perfect 254 00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:32,370 time for you to shine and that's now 255 00:08:32,370 --> 00:08:34,190 right somebody's gonna come up with a cool 256 00:08:34,190 --> 00:08:36,450 idea and now it's their own content right 257 00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:38,570 so they're taking ownership and they do something 258 00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:42,350 more interesting hopefully okay and then we'll give 259 00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:43,870 them encouragement it's like okay well no that 260 00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:45,730 was that was a three we're getting there 261 00:08:45,730 --> 00:08:48,430 and so then we move to maybe a 262 00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:49,110 seven right. 263 00:08:49,810 --> 00:08:51,090 And you've got to let them do it 264 00:08:51,090 --> 00:08:53,850 at least three or four times before they 265 00:08:53,850 --> 00:08:55,970 warm up but this is how we've gotten 266 00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:58,790 all those really fun interesting bridal party shots 267 00:08:58,790 --> 00:09:00,370 where the brides being thrown up in the 268 00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:04,310 air where the grooms got a hand coming 269 00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:06,590 around his crotch or being lifted up. 270 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:08,450 I mean we haven't coached them into doing 271 00:09:08,450 --> 00:09:10,030 that that would be like very awkward and 272 00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:12,050 ridiculous for us to imagine that and ask 273 00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:13,630 them to do it but when they create 274 00:09:13,630 --> 00:09:15,750 that content themselves it works. 275 00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:18,170 Yeah yeah it totally works it works especially 276 00:09:18,170 --> 00:09:20,190 if they've you know been in the limo 277 00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:22,030 and they've been drinking champagne on the way 278 00:09:22,030 --> 00:09:24,150 over there plus it gives them memories yeah 279 00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:25,590 right when they look at these photos they 280 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:27,450 remember what they were feeling at that moment 281 00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:30,790 as opposed to standing prim and proper for 282 00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:31,030 the photo. 283 00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:32,630 Yeah it's a fun experience right oh that 284 00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:35,330 was fun right yeah so we do that 285 00:09:35,330 --> 00:09:38,170 with the entire bridal party right yeah and 286 00:09:38,170 --> 00:09:40,690 then usually we'll do I'll just say usually 287 00:09:40,690 --> 00:09:42,630 on that batshit crazy like they have their 288 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:44,390 30 seconds to huddle in and then we're 289 00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:45,670 like all right let's see your 7 out 290 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:48,970 of 10 we're ready usually with with a 291 00:09:48,970 --> 00:09:50,890 wide lens and a bigger lens so we'll 292 00:09:50,890 --> 00:09:52,890 get the whole group but often then we'll 293 00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:55,010 move hone in on like often there'll be 294 00:09:55,010 --> 00:09:58,050 little moments and we'll kind of get in 295 00:09:58,050 --> 00:09:59,270 and fill the frame with all of that 296 00:09:59,270 --> 00:10:00,450 fun stuff that's happening. 297 00:10:00,650 --> 00:10:04,490 Yeah totally yeah yeah so then that's the 298 00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:06,610 entire bridal party and then we'll go into 299 00:10:06,610 --> 00:10:08,330 and and we've worked this all out with 300 00:10:08,330 --> 00:10:10,070 the bride and groom beforehand in terms of 301 00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:11,750 what they want for compositions but if she 302 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:13,530 wants one just with her just with her 303 00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:15,390 girls we'll do one just with the girls 304 00:10:15,390 --> 00:10:17,270 but we'll always start with those big groups 305 00:10:17,270 --> 00:10:19,690 because that residual energy that we've created through 306 00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:22,270 those games and that fun atmosphere is gonna 307 00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:23,950 carry us through the rest of the shoot. 308 00:10:24,070 --> 00:10:25,510 Okay so then we'll do one with just 309 00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:28,990 the girls and I've got some great little 310 00:10:28,990 --> 00:10:31,410 games and cues for the girls as well 311 00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:33,470 I think there's some in the behind-the 312 00:10:33,470 --> 00:10:35,210 -scenes coverage of that and then we'll do 313 00:10:35,210 --> 00:10:37,630 one of just the guys and then we'll 314 00:10:37,630 --> 00:10:39,290 often do one of the bride with the 315 00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:41,030 guys usually don't have any games it just 316 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:43,330 it's usually just you know kind of stand 317 00:10:43,330 --> 00:10:46,230 you know smiling maybe arms crossed you know 318 00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:48,010 stone-cold album cover to do a couple 319 00:10:48,010 --> 00:10:50,250 and we've got we show that in the 320 00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:52,510 behind-the-scenes coverage and then if they 321 00:10:52,510 --> 00:10:56,450 want one with each person separately you'll also 322 00:10:56,450 --> 00:11:00,150 see that I've got a series of different 323 00:11:00,150 --> 00:11:03,170 actions that I give them so should we 324 00:11:03,170 --> 00:11:05,130 demonstrate it it's hard sitting down well that's 325 00:11:05,130 --> 00:11:06,770 it's in the behind-the-scenes yeah it's 326 00:11:06,770 --> 00:11:08,790 in the behind-the-scenes coverage but you'll 327 00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:10,890 see that that series of actions that I 328 00:11:10,890 --> 00:11:13,470 give them it's for that final photo it's 329 00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:15,190 for that final photo where they've gone through 330 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:16,450 all the actions and then they have that 331 00:11:16,450 --> 00:11:17,230 release of the moment. 332 00:11:17,290 --> 00:11:18,090 Well just quick what is it? 333 00:11:18,330 --> 00:11:22,090 It's standing looking at the camera smiling then 334 00:11:22,090 --> 00:11:24,890 looking at each other giving each other a 335 00:11:24,890 --> 00:11:27,810 hug and laughing then looking back at the 336 00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:29,970 camera yeah you'll see you'll see it in 337 00:11:29,970 --> 00:11:31,550 the video it's for that last shot at 338 00:11:31,550 --> 00:11:36,110 the very end yeah yeah and that's that's 339 00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:37,590 pretty much it for bridal party and usually 340 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:39,910 we try to get that bridal party out 341 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:41,490 of the way and done before like bride 342 00:11:41,490 --> 00:11:44,810 and groom portraits because then you know bridal 343 00:11:44,810 --> 00:11:46,490 party can go off back to limo whatever 344 00:11:46,490 --> 00:11:48,030 they can go get the party started and 345 00:11:48,030 --> 00:11:50,070 then the bride and groom can go off 346 00:11:50,070 --> 00:11:52,550 and relax do the portraits without worrying about 347 00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:54,650 you know the hecklers following them around sort 348 00:11:54,650 --> 00:11:58,970 of thing yeah very rarely very rarely like 349 00:11:58,970 --> 00:12:00,570 I'll say like I can count on one 350 00:12:00,570 --> 00:12:03,210 hand we're asked to do more formal bridal 351 00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:06,610 party shots like think Vanity Fair or something 352 00:12:06,610 --> 00:12:08,830 that's that's a little bit more high-fashion 353 00:12:08,830 --> 00:12:12,650 looking the wedding that we're showing you happened 354 00:12:12,650 --> 00:12:14,370 to be one of those times where we 355 00:12:14,370 --> 00:12:16,030 were asked to do a more formal shot 356 00:12:16,030 --> 00:12:17,930 so out of our comfort zone out of 357 00:12:17,930 --> 00:12:19,350 our comfort zone but you'll get to see 358 00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:21,510 us do one of those as well so 359 00:12:21,510 --> 00:12:23,330 that's bridal party and now let's look at 360 00:12:23,330 --> 00:12:31,700 behind the scenes all right so the couple 361 00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,560 wanted to do one more sort of Vanity 362 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:38,900 Fair style bridal party shot indoors which is 363 00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:42,480 totally totally out of our comfort zone but 364 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,360 we started off with this just with the 365 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,860 same lighting setup that we did for the 366 00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:49,340 family formals that you already saw one sort 367 00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:51,720 of bear flash over on the left here 368 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,740 and then the softbox over to the right 369 00:12:54,740 --> 00:13:19,380 and I've 370 00:13:19,380 --> 00:13:26,100 tried to compose the group here whoop whoops 371 00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,840 I've tried to compose the group so that 372 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,140 there is different levels I've got a few 373 00:13:32,140 --> 00:13:34,980 people sitting in chairs and I've got kids 374 00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:36,680 I'm trying to make triangles so that it's 375 00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:41,420 interesting for the eye to look at so 376 00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:42,480 as you can see I've sort of got 377 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,700 a triangular grouping here I've got the bride 378 00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:47,220 and groom here and then I've got a 379 00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:49,060 bit of a triangular grouping here on this 380 00:13:49,060 --> 00:14:16,560 side as well so 381 00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:22,650 the lighting is not bad in these shots 382 00:14:22,650 --> 00:14:27,670 it's fairly good but we thought we'd try 383 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:31,550 something a little bit different that we've seen 384 00:14:31,550 --> 00:14:32,810 a lot of other people try and this 385 00:14:32,810 --> 00:14:34,710 was actually our first time trying this but 386 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:40,390 using the softbox here and lighting the group 387 00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:46,030 up in three different pictures and then merging 388 00:14:46,030 --> 00:14:55,730 those pictures together in Photoshop so compositing them 389 00:14:55,730 --> 00:15:05,310 basically and then the middle of the 390 00:15:05,310 --> 00:15:15,220 grouping here so the idea is is that 391 00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:17,720 we'll composite those three pictures together in Photoshop 392 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,100 and we'll see how it turns out okay 393 00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:26,120 so that was our formal bridal party shot 394 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,640 now we're outdoors we know we have to 395 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,560 be fairly quick here because it's bloody freezing 396 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,880 out and we haven't got a and I 397 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,300 probably rushed into this a little bit too 398 00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,400 much to be honest I found this I 399 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,860 was just looking for a nice even background 400 00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:45,880 you can see the Sun's gone so we've 401 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,280 got even light I'm not too worried about 402 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,500 the light it's it's not great but it's 403 00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:53,820 not awful either but I'm just looking for 404 00:15:53,820 --> 00:15:55,220 a night I was looking for a nice 405 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:57,100 even background that I could put them on 406 00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:59,960 so that they would pop in retrospect I 407 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,080 think I might have put them on the 408 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,860 cityscape or maybe not had them up on 409 00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:07,360 this hillside I was feeling a little bit 410 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,540 rushed which is my own fault and something 411 00:16:09,540 --> 00:16:11,600 that we're all guilty of I also think 412 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,820 we could have maybe added a little pop 413 00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:20,270 of flash here but these photos they're all 414 00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:45,140 about the moments keeping 415 00:16:45,140 --> 00:16:47,040 my camera up during all these moments 416 00:16:52,520 --> 00:17:03,599 so 417 00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:13,900 here I'm setting up for the the broken 418 00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:47,940 telephone game okay 419 00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:52,440 okay so okay so you're gonna think of 420 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:58,480 something at least x-rated okay and then 421 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,400 oh no no you're supposed to be on 422 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,860 that you have to think of something x 423 00:18:01,860 --> 00:18:07,460 -rated okay so you're gonna think of something 424 00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:11,500 x-rated okay whisper it in her ear 425 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:12,420 and 426 00:18:12,420 --> 00:18:23,580 you 427 00:18:23,580 --> 00:18:33,520 can see here that 428 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,540 I'm positioned a little bit closer to the 429 00:18:37,540 --> 00:18:41,220 action than Lanius but but Lani actually had 430 00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:44,440 a much better lens on back here he 431 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,940 had compression working better for him it was 432 00:18:46,940 --> 00:18:48,860 just a much better perspective than I had 433 00:18:50,180 --> 00:18:53,580 and he also completely abandoned me during this 434 00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:56,920 section so I'm shooting all this entirely on 435 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,260 my own without any help from him he's 436 00:18:59,260 --> 00:19:04,260 stressed out I think I think he's stressing 437 00:19:04,260 --> 00:19:06,860 out about portraits and I was really mad 438 00:19:06,860 --> 00:19:10,060 at him after this for completely leaving this 439 00:19:10,060 --> 00:19:20,620 entirely up to me and that 440 00:19:20,620 --> 00:19:22,340 was probably one of the lamest games of 441 00:19:22,340 --> 00:19:27,160 broken telephone we've ever played and I told 442 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:35,730 them it was lame I'm just doing all 443 00:19:35,730 --> 00:19:43,970 the bride and the bridesmaids together that one 444 00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:51,260 worked pretty well and what I'm doing here 445 00:19:51,260 --> 00:19:54,740 is I've given them each a number and 446 00:19:54,740 --> 00:19:56,900 one through six and when I call the 447 00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:58,560 number they each have to look at that 448 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,660 person whose number I'm calling and laugh and 449 00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:02,360 it usually ends up in some really great 450 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:05,020 moments you're gonna look at each other and 451 00:20:05,020 --> 00:20:07,020 laugh then you're gonna give each other a 452 00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:08,860 big hug and then you're gonna smile and 453 00:20:08,860 --> 00:20:12,020 look back at the camera okay okay so 454 00:20:12,020 --> 00:20:15,960 I'll show you so you're gonna go ahhhh 455 00:20:17,420 --> 00:20:20,140 and then you're gonna go ahhhh like that 456 00:20:20,140 --> 00:20:23,340 just boom boom boom oh god it's painful 457 00:20:23,340 --> 00:20:26,000 watching these after the fact I'm so annoying 458 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:33,230 when I do bridal parties ahhhh and it's 459 00:20:33,230 --> 00:20:35,590 all about that last photo right like I 460 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:37,410 make them do all that crazy stuff but 461 00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:39,050 it's really about that last photo. 462 00:20:40,730 --> 00:20:42,870 It just makes that last photo so much 463 00:20:42,870 --> 00:20:44,910 more authentic as opposed to a fake smile 464 00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:45,930 looking at the camera. 465 00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:47,430 Do you want to just scout out portraits 466 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:47,790 for later? 467 00:20:48,490 --> 00:20:50,710 Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping we can hit 468 00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:51,710 some of those, that sun. 469 00:20:51,930 --> 00:20:53,450 I don't think we're going to be hitting 470 00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:53,930 any sun. 471 00:20:54,370 --> 00:20:55,990 We're getting further and further away. 472 00:20:56,870 --> 00:21:00,190 Manny's completely stressed out because he realizes the 473 00:21:00,190 --> 00:21:02,750 sun is going and it's not within our 474 00:21:02,750 --> 00:21:06,290 power to finish the bridal partying time to 475 00:21:06,290 --> 00:21:07,370 take advantage of the sun. 476 00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:10,750 So we're, I'm trying to be patient here 477 00:21:10,750 --> 00:21:11,110 with him. 478 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,740 So he's going to scout out for some 479 00:21:17,740 --> 00:21:21,260 portraits and hopefully he'll have something ready to 480 00:21:21,260 --> 00:21:24,020 go after I'm done bridal partying here. 481 00:21:26,740 --> 00:21:30,480 He left me all alone to do groomsmen 482 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,920 portraits and I've never done these. 483 00:21:34,340 --> 00:21:36,240 But I just gotta fake it till I 484 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:36,720 make it. 485 00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:50,540 And again you can see we're not pouring 486 00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:52,460 a lot of creative energy into these at 487 00:21:52,460 --> 00:21:52,660 all. 488 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,220 We're directing some moments so that we get 489 00:21:55,220 --> 00:21:58,340 some laughter and smiles and stuff like that 490 00:21:58,340 --> 00:22:00,580 but we're not, you know, using fancy lighting 491 00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:02,580 techniques or fancy compositions. 492 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,440 Mostly just sticking them together and making them 493 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,880 laugh and that's it. 494 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,140 And then getting the transition shots again, right? 495 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,080 So she stops for a smoke before she 496 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,760 gets into the van and this is a 497 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,000 lot of the times where photographers will, you 498 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,120 know, put down their cameras and really this 499 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,020 is the opportunity to get some pictures of 500 00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:39,300 her and her bridesmaids in a much more 501 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:40,080 natural manner. 502 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,820 Same in the limo. 503 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,380 Although in retrospect I don't think we should 504 00:22:51,380 --> 00:22:53,960 have been in that limo especially with COVID. 505 00:22:59,060 --> 00:23:01,040 But these are usually our favorite things to 506 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,760 photograph because everybody lets their guards down once 507 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,980 they're in the limo and it's not so 508 00:23:05,980 --> 00:23:07,840 much about the photos it's just about enjoying 509 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,940 time with their friends and that's really what 510 00:23:09,940 --> 00:23:10,740 we want to document. 511 00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:15,950 This is a second location we went to 512 00:23:15,950 --> 00:23:19,370 and it's very rare that we go to 513 00:23:19,370 --> 00:23:21,050 a second location with the bridal party. 514 00:23:21,210 --> 00:23:23,710 They had requested a picture with the cityscape. 515 00:23:24,910 --> 00:23:27,870 By this point it was really freaking cold. 516 00:23:28,350 --> 00:23:29,910 It was a nasty wind so we had 517 00:23:29,910 --> 00:23:31,130 to be really really quick. 518 00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:33,830 As you can see the Sun is setting 519 00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:34,150 now. 520 00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:35,310 We've got dusk light. 521 00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:38,650 We're doing a really simple lighting setup. 522 00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:40,790 We've exposed for that dusk light in the 523 00:23:40,790 --> 00:23:43,670 sky and we've got a softbox on one 524 00:23:43,670 --> 00:23:45,330 or sorry a B10 on one side and 525 00:23:45,330 --> 00:23:46,330 an A1 on the other. 526 00:23:46,770 --> 00:23:47,550 Nothing fancy. 527 00:23:48,890 --> 00:23:50,770 Just trying to get it done as quick 528 00:23:50,770 --> 00:23:52,910 as possible before they freeze their asses off. 529 00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:03,560 All right so that's bridal party for you 530 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,820 and it's very rare that we do bridal 531 00:24:05,820 --> 00:24:08,100 party in three different locations. 532 00:24:08,620 --> 00:24:11,780 Usually we encourage our couples to just pick 533 00:24:11,780 --> 00:24:13,260 one location for bridal party. 534 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:15,680 It's usually the same location as family formals 535 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,540 to be honest and we get them done 536 00:24:18,540 --> 00:24:19,680 in ten minutes. 537 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,420 We do the big group. 538 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,180 We play a few games. 539 00:24:23,780 --> 00:24:26,300 We do the bridesmaids together if they've requested. 540 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,740 We do the bride with each of her 541 00:24:27,740 --> 00:24:29,720 bridesmaids separately and the groom with each of 542 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,320 his groomsmen separately only if it's requested but 543 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,380 we knock these off as quick and painlessly 544 00:24:35,380 --> 00:24:37,960 as possible and save as much time for 545 00:24:38,580 --> 00:24:39,560 portraits as possible. 546 00:24:40,260 --> 00:24:42,660 Usually that's the priority of our couples as 547 00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:42,900 well. 548 00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:45,120 This wedding was a little different and we 549 00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,260 ended up doing it in three locations but 550 00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:49,740 it's great because then you could see us 551 00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:52,660 see us work three very different locations. 39325
