A couple weeks ago I had the chance to film Marie & Tim’s wedding with a great photographer, Arol of AJH Photography. Here is their wedding trailer. 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
Wedding Trailer
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.
Video: Canon 5d MarkII
Photos: 5d MarkII, 40D

Last Sunday I filmed one of Caroline’s weddings at the House on the Hill in Austin, Texas. It was actually raining on and off most of the day so we were lucky that the rain lifted and the sun came out just before the wedding ceremony. Becky and Steven wrote their own vows and also decided to meet each other before the wedding. They are truly a unique couple and I wish them the best in the future.
Being only my 3rd wedding to film, I think it turned out perfect and I really learned a lot. I can’t wait to add a video package so I can create more wedding films for my clients in Austin, Texas.
1-one cinematographer
1-5D MarkII
1-Tripod, 1 GlideTrack, 1 Merlin Steady Cam
24-70mm2.8, 70-200mm4.0, 28mm1.8
audio was captured using a Zoom H4N paired with sennheiser ew g2 wireless lav mics
Very difficult to shot a wedding with only 1 camera but here it is. A little creative editing helps a lot!

Just a small clip from Becky and Steven’s wedding I shot today with Caroline… I can’t wait to upload the full edit!
I really love the House on the Hill, great little wedding venue! I mainly focused on filming but I did manage to get a couple shots. Here are some of my favorites.
Does anybody ever watch their wedding videos more than once? Have you ever seen someone cry after watching there 2 hour wedding video? Most people can’t pay attention long enough. I wanted to create something different, something that you’ll want to watch over and over until you can’t stop crying. I want to make a cinematic experience that you will never forget. I will be launching a new service very soon which will include a wedding day feature film. I have a few more weddings coming up before I do a hard launch, so stay tuned. More info to come…
I just received a bunch of new video gear to make cinematic wedding films using my 5D MarkII. I went along to one of Caroline’s wedding to create a video trailer for Brandi and Trey. It was a very small wedding on a Thursday, held at the Wingate hotel. The Ceremony was supposed to to be held at the Chapel Dulcinea but it got rained out so they had the ceremony at the reception site. It turned out to be a really nice evening.

Brandie and Trey were married on Sept. 10th 2009. They had a very small wedding at the Wingate hotel in Austin, Texas.
I shot this film using my Canon 5d MarkII and a variety of lenses including the 24-70mm 2.8, 70-200mm 4.0 and the 100mm macro for the ring shots.
This was my first time using the GlideTrack system to achieve the cinematic style. I really love the end result, after many hours of editing…
I have two more weddings coming up to prefect the art and I can’t wait to see what I can create.
