My first wedding video.

Hey Friends.

Alex Coulson and I shot a wedding video for a girl we went to high school with in small town Ontario. What she wanted the most was a 10-15 minute summary of the day. We have shown her the cut and she loves it, which is great for us. That being said, I would be interested to hear what some of the more experienced wedding shooters have to say about it.

EDIT: I would like to also note that the music choice was theirs, and we will also be doing a 3 minute "demo reel" cut showcasing out favorite shots.
Also, the church had literally the worst lighting to work with ever. Mix of Fluorescent, Tungsten and Daylight. I tried my best to match it all in the grade, but alas, color still won. Oh and it was shot using cinestyle.

DOUBLE EDIT ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY: So I just realized there are a number of shots missing from the footage. It appears as though on export from premiere, some of the shots just exported as black? Anyone have any ideas why this might be?

So as it turns out, one of the video tracks was just turned off...oops :embarasse

TRIPLE EDIT: Figured out the problem, now its time to re-export and upload...ROUND 2.

I would definitely hire you if I was getting married. My only problem was that the shot o her putting that thing on her leg felt a little awkward and suggestive. This was beautifully shot and edited though. How many cameras?
 
That shot was directed by the photographer and we just happened to grab it. For the most part it was shot with 2-5d's and there was a 3rd T2i on a tripod to make sure we got the kiss etc. Thanks for the feedback.
