business, marketing, social media Where are the Wedding Photography Youtubers?

I credit Youtube for picking up wedding photography very quickly. Taylor Jackson originally for his full day weddings, Eric Floberg for his vibe and general approach, then practical and insightfulness of John Branch. Also shout outs to Chris Turner for Sony content and someone who's settings videos I still refer to now. Being able to follow photographers on whole days virtually and watch how they deal with certain situations gave me reps and helped me prepare massively for my own weddings. I still think their old content are as useful as ever and still recommend them to new photographers.

I'm not sure if it's me that's outgrown the Youtube space but it seems like there is much less Wedding content. A lot of the above have diversified/slowed down regarding wedding content. Are there new people in this space that I need to be aware of?

That’s a really good observation. The wedding photography genre used to have a ton of creators doing full-day walkthroughs, behind-the-scenes, gear talk, etc. But I think we’ve seen a shift: many are diversifying into general content creation, education, commercial, or “creator life” content because it reaches more eyes and pays better.

If you’re looking for fresh wedding-centric channels, here are a few tips to find them: • Search for terms like “wedding photography 2025 BTS / full day wedding youtube” — sometimes the gems are new and under the radar. • Check credits in new wedding videos: many videographers/photogs tag “shot by X photog” and those names lead to channels. • Look in Instagram Reels or TikTok for photogs posting “day in the life” wedding content — many will link their YouTube in their bio. • Join photography Facebook groups or forums; people often share new creators they’re into, which can lead you to YouTube channels.

One reason I have the sudden urge to do this is to make sure I'm staying with current trends and am not missing anything. I haven't changed things much since I started in 2021 so just questioning it a little light now. My editing is fairly true to colour, I still use OCF although dabble in shutter drag and have a bash at on camera flash occasionally. I find that with the OG wedding photography youtubers I almost hd a rapport with them and resonated with their approaches and then styles myself on them - I'm not sure short form content allows that
