Shooting a wedding ceremony can feel overwhelming - the lighting is unpredictable, the rules are strict, and the moments move FAST. In this video, I’m walking you through how to photograph a wedding ceremony step by step, including where to stand, which lenses I use, and how I capture every must-have shot (from the bride walking down the aisle to the exit).
You’ll see how I deal with tricky natural light, how I capture guest reactions without being disruptive, and how I get stunning close-ups without needing a heavy 70–200mm lens. I’ll also share my favorite camera settings for key moments like the kiss, the ring exchange, and the walkout so you can feel confident no matter the ceremony setup.
📖 Plus, I’ll show you how I design wedding albums using Fundy Designer Suite - the fastest way to create albums, wall art, and more for your clients. Use my code VANESSAJOY30 to save 30%!
✨ What you’ll learn in this video:
Must-have wedding ceremony shots & angles
How to shoot in natural light (even in tough spots)
Camera settings for key wedding moments 📸
The lenses I use & why I avoid the 70–200mm
How to design a professional wedding album in minutes
