Payton + Travis: Wedding Video at Barr Mansion

Posted in Wedding Video show hide 2 comments

Many of you might not know… but I started my college career studying 3d Animation and Video production. It was only natural to transition into shooting more films as digital cameras started incorporating HD video capabilities. Payton & Travis got married at The Barr Mansion (one of my favorite venues) this month and I had the pleasure to create this wonderful wedding film for them. After you watch the video head on over to Caroline’s website to see the wedding photos. Enjoy!

Sneak Peek: Travis & Payton’s Wedding at Barr Mansion

Posted in Wedding Video No comments

Every now and again I get to do something different… This weekend I filmed Travis & Payton’s wedding at The Barr Mansion. You might remember my time-lapse video of Matt & Cori’s wedding at the Terrace Club that I shot a while back. Well, I am at it again, this time with a full arsenal of DSLR cameras and the help of another local videographer, Richard Lizama. I will have the full wedding trailer on my blog soon, but in the mean time, enjoy this time-lapse video of the entire day. Watch as we run around like little ants…Music: White Sky by Vampire Weekend off the album Contra

The reception was held at the Austin Woman’s Club in downtown Austin. Great venue for wedding receptions, I look forward to filming more weddings here in the near future. Let me know what you think in the comments below. Check out Arol’s photos HERE

Austin Wedding Photography: Brandie + Daniel @ Shoreline Grill

Posted in Wedding Video show hide 10 comments

Brandie and Daniel were married at the Shoreline Grill in Austin, Texas on September 19th 2009. They had a small, intimate wedding as apposed to a large extravagant one which might have distracted from the true purpose of the day… their love. It turned out to be a gorgeous day, I could really feel the love they shared. I decided to capture their vows on audio so they could relive that special day and always remember why they were brought together…
Here is the slide show from the wedding day which includes some photos, video, and audio fusion.

I was the only photographer at Brandie’s wedding so it was difficult at times to capture the audio, video and photos without missing a beat but I made it happen. It was a really small wedding at the Shoreline Grill in Austin, Texas which turned out really nice.

I used Adobe Premier CS4 to create the multimedia slide show. It was pretty tedious trying to make all the fades and sync up the audio but I have not found a better system yet.

Audio: Zoom H4n w/Sennheiser lav mics.
