Hi everyone. I'm helping my friend Candice Cusic stream her critique of a Full Wedding by Two Mann Studios tomorrow (Wednesday, May 4) at 10am PDT (1pm EDT).

It will be archived and available on-demand to Fearless members. But you can tune in live, even if you're not a member!

Comments will be enabled on the YouTube Live site if you'd like to join the discussion.

Here's the link:

First impression, props to TwoMann for airing their dirty laundry. Pretty cool to see the none epic, none blog worthy, failed attempts as they work towards something cool.

After an hour, here are couple comments....

The critiquer, Candice Cusic, stresses the use of a 50 or 85 over a 35 quite frequently. Almost to the point where it's starting to sound a little Monday Morning Quarterbacking. She must be a bit proponent of the 24-70.

I see lots of "one-point-shit" shots in the EXIF data. Maybe Erica changed her opinion on this.

Erica is shooting a ton of images for the getting ready, but nothing is really that similar from the previous image.

Coverage is heavily focused on the bride. Easily 90% of the images only have the bride in focus.

Exposures are almost always 100% bang on.

We're an hour in and not even done hair and makeup.

It's very interesting for me to see them cull their full wedding like this. Like Danny said, when you see the duds and how hard they work at refining their shot, it's inspiring and gives you a whole other perspective.

It's also striking how they see the light.

There are so many different types of photographers. I remember Jerry Ghionis once said there is no reason to shoot anything before the bride's makeup and hair done. But this couple shoot so many things in the early stage of the getting ready. Sure they are worthy for the couple.

Gotta be careful though, there are brides out there that would throw a shoe at you for shooting pics of her pre-makeup. I even booked a wedding based on saying I didn't!

Candice wasn't suggesting the tighter lens OVER the 35, but adding it as an additional look. Candice shoots primes only, but she has a full setup (24, 28, 35, 50, 85, 135).

I'm struggling trying to understand why the avoidance of a 70-200 during ceremony ... or why not simply mount the 135 on a 7DmkII. Have long focal lengths become taboo?

They have. Everything *must* be shot with primes wide open.

Yes, the video will be available to Fearless members. We're sorting some technical details out right now, but I'll post back with an update.

I think "fearless" is second only to "moneymaker" in terms to stupid titles for photography related things.

I think the name "fearless" hits the nail quite right and is a marketing genius strike.
