Well, did I need to be that screwed up over filming the next day?

No. Absolutely not. And I am in bed at 9:41pm on a Wednesday with the dogs and I am giggling at myself for being so silly. But I guess sometimes it’s okay to be a little dramatic and admit that you’re scared and then go ABSOLUTELY CRUSH IT after all that

The day went (mostly) wonderfully and I got so many wonderful clips and I got the audio I wanted and it all (mostly) looks and sounds great and I’m so excited to make the videos for them. And it was incredible to watch my friends marry and capture it through my lenses. I was happy, a little jealous, and a little sad… But mostly happy for them. And in pain. Carrying the steady camera rig and my handheld rig around all day was taxing

A couple random things that I learned that day…

  • I need bags to carry random things when on location like that so I don’t have to keep carrying EVERYTHING with me from place to place

  • Speaking of place to place, sometimes the places aren’t very close to each other and you might need to be ready for that too, little guy

  • It might be smart to step in and be a little more bold with the timeline and getting things done next time instead of taking a back seat

  • You need more batteries and more audio recording devices. You also need to keep refining your kit and your work flow

  • Wedding videography is hard, but it’s all about finding those little moments and capturing the ✨ magic ✨ of that for them

  • Everything takes longer than everybody thinks all the time always so make sure you get what you need and keep everybody moving

  • You’re better at all this than you think. I might be time to stop doubting yourself and living in imposter syndrome and step into this thing boldly, you little bitch lol

Aight. So yeah. That’s all. I’m not even sure if anybody is reading this or if anybody ever will so it’s just me talking to myself at this point. If you are reading this, I would love for you to let me know somehow. Today. Whenever you’re reading this. Even many years down the road. Let me know… And I’ll tell you how things really worked out

Be well. Love. Cheers
