RayBan Metas for wedding photography: pros, cons & how I got them in my (very strong) prescription

This video is all about reviewing the Ray-Ban Metas specifically from a wedding photographer’s perspective – are they actually helpful for capturing BTS and content on wedding days, or are they more of a gimmick? I’ll take you along with me through a day-in-the-life here in France, where I’m shooting a 3-day wedding at the gorgeous Château Engalin.

I’ll be sharing:✨ How I managed to get them in my (very strong) prescription✨ Honest thoughts on using them for wedding content✨ The good, the bad, and the unexpected features✨ How they compared to my DJI Osmo for BTS

This vlog is part of a bigger South of France wedding series (full vlog linked below once it’s live!) packed with destination hacks, behind the scenes, and the reality of working destination weddings.

If you’re a wedding photographer curious about Ray-Ban Metas, or just love a peek behind the scenes of destination weddings – this one’s for you!
