Michelle and Gabe // Tulum Mexico. Its been a long time since I shot a wedding solo, it's not easy!

Some simple advice for shooting solo

* bring only enough gear that you can carry by yourself.

* Make sure to coordinate prep time for bride and groom. I started out with Michelle, doing beauty shots of her shoes, rings, dress etc, asked the MUA how long it was going to be until Michelle would be finished, she mentioned it would take about an hour so I spent about 20-30 minutes with Gabe then went back to finish final shots with Michelle.

* Get any audio recorders your using, start recording 15-20 minutes before the ceremony starts. I left bride prep about 45 minutes before the ceremony started. 15 of those minutes spent walking to the other side of the resort. The first thing I did was grab some establishing shots of the ceremony, tapped into the soundboard, followed by placing mics on the groom and officiant. I also mic the bride super last minute as she didn’t show up until it was basically time for her to walk down the isle. I use the Instamic so she literally put it on within 2 seconds. And I was able to start and stop it from my phone.

* Reception, leave your audio recorder recording the entire time. Don’t worry about starting and stopping. One less thing to worry about.

A couple screen grabs with some the Giants for Bochy’s retirement. We used two Astra 6x’s as key, cut twice, through a soft box half and a flex fill silk. We used another 6x with a soft box half as fill/eye light and a 4ft tube with for the hair light and a L5-C for the background like. Back ground light was tungsten to give a warm feel and everything else was daylight.
