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
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
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!

Dude! You killed this video! I absolutely loved it…you are uber talented Ben, srsly. Great job, can’t wait to see some more video from you in the future.
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.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! Dude you have me wanting to whip out my credit card for a 5DmkII. I hate you!
P.S. Who was that hot chick with the camera?
