Today we bring you Episode 6, and we bring it to you from San Diego! This episode is a special episode, not that the other photosodes are not special, but this ones super special because it’s about weddings which is what we specialize in. We also we do this show the day immediately after we photographed a wedding. WIth that being said we would like to thank Kim and James for letting us use our photos/video for this special episode. They are such a beautiful couple and had a wedding which was nothing short of it.
In this episode we go over what we believe are our top ten tips for shooting a wedding. Frankly, there’s a lot more to shooting a wedding than our top ten tips, so don’t go out shooting a wedding after watching this episode thinking you’ll know everything there is to shooting a wedding, but this is our attempt to sum up some pointers.
You’ll quickly notice that in this episode we’re not at our studio, but rather sitting cozily in the hotel. Also we’ve implemented some previously recorded footage from the wedding into the video to give you guys an idea of how Nathan photographs a wedding. Erich was the assistant + second shooter + behind the scenes videographer. And of course, Nathan was the main/first shooter.

Anyways, we hope you enjoy our on-site photosode! And here are some photos that we photographed from the wedding.
This was a great post, I like how you both showcased your photos side by side. Erich’s are more emotional, I think he really captures intimate moments and the nuances of expressions by cropping and shooting closely which lends to his skill in portrait photography. The photo of the two kids and older couple slow dancing is a great example of this and they are very strong images.
Nathan’s photos are more environmental which is good too because it shows off the grandiosity of the venues and the excitement of the festivities. You guys make a great team. Can’t wait to see more!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. And thank you for the insightful comparison with our work, that was so deep. Erich and Nathan do make a great team, and thats partly why we are one! Thanks again!
