What's your favorite Wedding Photography pose?
hero silhouette!
Chest to Chest!
Bear hug 😆
Definitely head cuddling!
I experienced one time in wedding shoot.. it was hard... Tnx for the tips
For the looking at the camera shot I always say “okay this on is for Grandma!” And they giggle and go for it with genuine smiles.
I do the exact same thing... although normally go for aunts and uncles instead just in case one of the grandparents is no longer with us. 😬
@@fraseryoung8503 🤦🏽
Same!
granmas should live forever ♥
@@fraseryoung8503 LOL I thought the same thing like dang i wouldnt want to say that and it ends in an awkward silence
As a wedding photographer of 10+ years, I can honestly say that you're always learning and always trying to improve or perfect your art. I randomly, compleeeetely randomly, came upon this video and the way you gave each set of poses 'names' helps me to not only remember them, but also to incorporate more of some and less of some others. Thanks!
I super agree. He shares his art not minding the competition, but just loving his experience and joyfully share it to us. More subscriber bro!!!!
100!
This has to be one of the coolest, calmest, detailed yet simplified couples posing video ever!!! Thanks so much for making this man, this was so well done!
Maybe you can do a mini series on your booking, whole wedding day and delivery. Break the episodes up by parts of the process. Example.. ep.1 communication and booking, ep.2 getting ready and first look, ep.3 ceremony, ep.4 cocktail hour and reception, ep.5 post process and delivery. Something along those lines. It would be nice to see you go into more detail, and it would draw viewers into continue watching the next video. I haven't seen a lot of youtubers do multi-part videos like that in this genre.
Prepping for my first wedding, and this just helped me feel a lot more prepared and confident!
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
I hope all was well. My first is in 2 weeks😭😊
I just did my first wedding photography last Sunday. This video was so helpful! The pictures turned out amazing!Thanks John!
This video is SO useful! Thank you for sharing, John!
John Branch and Reggie Ballesteros are killing us with wedding couple poses........Thanks a million......I downloaded both
lol. I was wondering if anyone would notice. 😉
I'll just leave this here for those who want to watch my video: kzhead.info/sun/qJSNfLKLeIiuY6s/bejne.html HAHA
John is overall better. The problem with reggies photos are his white balance. I told him that 1 year ago, his skin tones are always pinkish. That’s not professional in my eyes.
Thank you John one of the best wedding video! Good job!!
This was exactly what I needed to watch - shooting my first wedding of the season tomorrow and I needed some posing inspiration. You're the best! Already binged 5 of your other videos. Thanks for sharing!!
your images are stunning -- thank you for these tips! :)
This is the weekend of my first wedding client and I'm really excited for it, it's been a lot of work but I think it'll all be worth it when we get out there and do our thing. Your videos have helped us prep so much for this day and watching this video has really given me more ideas! I'm pumped and can't wait! 💜📸
Doing my first wedding this summer. I'm just going to watch all your videos as my go to resource for all things photography :) ! Thank you for all your tips!
Thank you so much for putting this list together John and sharing it! I find myself revisiting it to prep myself before shooting weddings. Super helpful, thanks!
These are some great poses! Thanks for the tips!
Just watched 2 of your videos - SO HELPFUL! Wish I'd stumbled upon these earlier. But WOW, looking forward to watching more and re-watching this one!
As someone who’s 2months into a photography course and on a journey to becoming a hybrid shooter, I sometimes have to assist on shoots and be asked to give poses. This video has brought me calm and pumped to readily want to suggest poses when I’m on a shoot or assisting. Thank you so much for this video. You really have no idea how much you’ve motivated me. Thank you.
Even after years of shooting weddings, using variations on your poses instinctively, I still find your videos so refreshing and instructive!
Thank you for this video! Loved all the posing ideas, so helpful. I really appreciate you sharing your ideas and poses, inspires me to become better at the craft.
Step by step, clear and concise. This is awesome and like someone else said, helps me to remember a series of poses more easily. Thanks so much! I love your content!
This video is so helpful! love the wall pose!
Thanks! I'll use these poses for my sister's wedding!
You truly help out new and upcoming wedding photographers out there including me. I’m doing my first wedding this weekend and I’m a little weak on posing my subjects. Good thing I stumbled upon your channel. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you! Great content! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your skills with us!
Doing my first wedding in September! I have shot festivals, concerts and parties, but weddings are a new territory. Finding a lot of help in your videos. Thanks a lot!
Perfect! No muss and long lead up. Thank you! I’m a new fan!
This is so helpful, thank-you so much for this! Can't wait to try them out!
Thank you so much...such great tips.
wide shot, genius. i don't think i've ever done that pose! i love it, thank you!
Solid video man! Posing well seems to be one of the single most challenging parts of photographing couples but you have a way of explaining it in a very doable way that's encouraging to others still trying to find their flow. it was very clear and concise advice. Thanks for the tips!
I wish I saw this yesterday! Game changer!!!
Very well explained. I found this very helpful and definitely won't hestate to try out some of the poses in my next shoot.
I am so happy that I discovered your channel, been watching all your videos and learned so much without even getting tired at all😭 Thank you so much for sharing your tips with us🙏🏼
Another marvelous video. Thank you for for sharing your thoughts and knowledge.
Best tips I have seen. Thank you!
A lot of great tips!! Thanks for posting.
I am sooo happy that I found your account! Love your content and to learn from you ... you manage to make me super curious and excited about wedding photography although I swore to myself I will never get into that sector 😂 (because it’s such an important day and everything has to be perfect, especially the photographer) Next week I am shooting a wedding for a friend of mine and now I am binge watching your videos for education.
thanks bro, you always give us great advices.
John, thanks for thia installment. Always excellent, clean production and information.
Loved how you explained all the posing styles and how to actually tell them to do it. Cause sometimes can be difficult explaining the pose to the couple. Very helpful video, much appreciated, thanks!
8:43 - wow. My favorite of all of them Thanks for the tips! I have my first wedding shoot coming up and this helps.
100% agree with your statement 👍
Thanks a lot! Trying these tips this weekend! :D
Definitely Definitely My Favourite Video. Very Helpful. Very Straight Forward. Amazing Vibes. Calm Music. Beautiful sets of Pictures. ✨
Thank for put these up it was helpful
One of the things that I love about your photos is your eye for environmental portraits.
Thanks John! I saved this video to favorites since I only shoot weddings once every couple years (I am an event photographer). When a friend asks me to shoot their wedding, I want to deliver the best that I can, and posing is an aspect that I sorely need!
First wedding coming up Oct 3rd. your vids are helping me take the edge off thanks!
Wow! What a great video!! Love your work!
Loved these helpful tips thank you!!!!
I really enjoyed this, especially 7:20 with the chuckle. I'm not even a photographer, but I am getting married in October so I will make sure my photographer captures some of these. Thanks and keep up the good work!
There is so much gold in this video
I have watched your videos and I love love love how you make the couple so relaxed. You take beautiful 🤩 pictures too.
Love it ...Love it! Shout from a fan... gonna try these tips for my first wedding 🤩
You seem like such a wonderful photographer! I always say that camera knowledge and skill is so important, but what makes or breaks it is whether the photographer can connect with the models and you definitely can. This was such an informative video. Thank you!
Excellent content. ❤️ Very informative and I learned. Thank you so much.
Honestly this is one of the best wedding pose videos I’ve come across. Great job.
Fantastic photos John! Your composition and Fuji's colors. Awesome.
You are a master of your craft. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Dicas fantásticas !!! Belo trabalho.
I love this, the way you break it all down, how they transition so well, and the photo examples!
glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing. Those poses will be very helpful in my couple shootings.
Man these are some awesome tips! Thank you!
Bro, your Content is KING! Thank you so much! Cheers from Germany :)
Another great video for advise!! Thk you
Gorgeous pictures man!!
Yo this helped out so much. Thanks dude.
You are awesome John!! I love your style of photography but even more, your helpful and sweet demeanor!
I'll be shooting my second wedding tomorrow. Thank you SO MUCH!
Thank you very much for these
Interesting ideas, as i have two wedding shoots this weekend. BigUps with thanks from🇿🇦
astonishing advices and shoots. thanks
This was incredible thank you so much! Great video keep crushing it
Thank you so much for this John. I shamelessly "screen shotted" lots of these into a note book I can share and practice with the couples before their big day to familiarise and relax them.
Hello from Japan! I'm a basketball and street photographer but I've got my first wedding adventure tomorrow! Stoked I found your channel. Thank you for sharing the tips and experience!
Hey John, thank you so much! I‘m learning a lot through your videos! 🙏🏻 I am not a photographer and was just looking for inspiration for my wedding. After watching a ton of your videos.. I am now worried that I have really high expectations towards a wedding photographer haha 🫣 best regards from Germany
Thanks, very good ideas. Your images are spectacular.
Really fantastic! Good job! Hello from Italy!
I appriciate the videos you make, they are really informative and have all the answers for a beginner.
This video saved my life yesterday! Watch John branch before your wedding is like taking your vitamins in the morning👌 I subconsciously and consciously made more successful decisions in decisive situations where in the past, I would have fried in a pan. Instead I chef'd up some great photos 📸 and memories as John guided me. I can not thank you enough, John. Experiance is the greatest teacher, but having an experienced teacher helps in ways that can not be put into words.
Thanks for giving us some great tips! Very well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this, I am doing my first shoot for a friend who wants very relaxed images. This tutorial is great and has given me some good ideas, people have always been out of my comfort zone, I have just started street photography course, I tend to shoot Animals and landscapes so this is going to be a good test for me. I am meeting with the couple to understand what they want etc this has been so useful
it can´t be better explained! great! thank you
John I’ve been watching you for a while and this was the most helpful video!! This is the number one thing I’ve been struggling with. Thank you so much !!
Awesome! I'm glad to hear this helped out. Now get out there and make some amazing poses.
Great tips thanks so much for all your videos and advice, been working my way through your channel!
Thank you so much for these videos John! You are so well spoken and are giving me some peace of mind about shooting my first wedding solo in 2 weeks!
Hope the wedding goes well! You got this!
Incredibly helpful! My sis in law is getting married and it’s a really small wedding and they asked me to take some shots. I am far from an experienced photographer (which they know) but now I think I can get some shots they will really be able to enjoy. Thanks for that.
Top notch. Should make this into a PDF guide to keep in our phones.
Thank you man. This is great stuff. I appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful!
