Last year, lighting company Profoto teamed up with New England-based wedding photographers Justin and Mary Marantz to create a series of behind-the-scenes videos showing how the duo goes about shooting a wedding from start to finish. The Walk Through a Wedding series started in February 2014 and ended in December of that year with 20 short videos.
Each video offers a glimpse into the couple’s mindset and photo process for a particular shot, starting with an “iconic” portrait of the bride at the beginning of the day to capturing a couple’s sparkler exit at the end.
As you might expect, the series is Profoto-centric when it comes to lighting. Here’s the complete series:
#1: The Iconic Bridal Portrait
#2: Shooting the Wedding Dress
#3: The Girls/Bride Getting Ready
#4: The Bridal Details
#5: The Guys/Groom Getting Ready
#6: The Processional
#7: The First Kiss
#8: Shooting Family Photos Quickly
#9: Shooting the Reception Details in a Time Crunch

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
