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.
