Ultimate Guide To Shooting Weddings Solo

Guide to Shooting Weddings Solo is a 30-page PDF built from over 12 years of real wedding experience, most of it filmed solo.

This guide breaks down exactly how I approach filming an entire wedding day alone — calmly, efficiently, and with consistency — without sacrificing quality or coverage. It’s designed for filmmakers who want their work to feel dependable, cinematic, and intentional from start to finish.

The guide is organized by the natural flow of a wedding day, with dedicated sections for Morning Prep, Ceremony, Portraits, Reception Details, Speeches, First Dances, and a full Recap. Each section goes deep into what actually matters, showing where to focus your time, how to simplify decisions, and how to avoid unnecessary complexity.

You’ll see the gear I personally use to make solo shooting easier, along with practical systems for camera placement, lighting, and movement that reduce stress while improving results. The guide also covers the often-overlooked details that elevate ceremony and reception coverage — including the “small things” that planners and designers care deeply about.

Throughout the PDF, you’ll find illustrations, camera placement diagrams, lighting layouts, and real screenshots from my real wedding days, making each concept easy to understand and apply immediately.

This isn’t a theory guide. It’s a detailed, real-world reference built for filmmakers who want predictable systems, consistent results, and the freedom to be creative without chaos.

• 30-page PDF guide
