Wedding receptions are one of the most fun parts of a wedding day. The ceremony is behind you, food is being served, and everyone is getting ready to party! But what happens when everything goes wrong? What about when a massive lightning storm rolls through and makes an outdoor reception an indoor? Today you get to see exactly how I filmed a wedding reception that was anything but ideal. In this video I cover:

• The exact audio gear I use for recording reception toasts
• Fun techniques I use to pose a couple after their wedding ceremony
• How I setup my lighting equipment for toasts and dancing
• Angles for incredible reception exit shots
• Ways to make your dancing footage look fun!

And you’ll also get all my camera, lens, aperture, and ISO details listed with every shot I use.

One of the questions I'm asked most often is, “Matt! How do you film a wedding ceremony?!”, and today I'm going to answer that question in the most detailed video I've ever made on the subject!. In this video, I cover:

• Angles I use to make it look like you're capable of time travel and teleportation during a wedding ceremony.
• How many cameras you'll need to cover everything (it's less than you think)
• Where I stand to NEVER have photographers get in my shots.
• Ways to get amazing shots while being unobtrusive (no need to block anyone's view)

And you'll also get all my camera, lens, aperture, and ISO details listed with every shot I use.

My brother is getting into video editing and asked me to build the best video editing computer I could for $850. I said yes, as long as I get to make a video about it!
