My name is Ben Godkin, owner and photographer of Godkin Photo. Thank you for stoping by! Here you can find out more about me and my life as a photographer. I live in the best city in the world! Austin Texas... (well the best city in Texas anyway). I began shooting weddings fulltime after I recieved my BFA in Photography from 
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.
Check out Caroline’s Photos HERE.
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.
