Friday was my friend Jeff's wedding. He's a videographer as well and it was an honor to be asked to film another videographer's wedding. However, he has just bought two new HD cameras and I had less than a 24 hours to learn the inner workings of them before shooting with them the following day. In the end, I was able to work through it and figured out how to work them. The cameras are INCREDIBLY versatile, and I think I want to get those same Sony camera models when I switch to HD. Mark and Christina of Hamilton Photography were the photographers and I'm so glad I got the chance to work with them! They are incredibly creative and a real pleasure to work with. Here are some of the shots they got.
And here's one of me getting in the way.
The following day I was in Leesburg, VA shooting a wedding for a bride who had no idea she was getting a videographer! Months ago, I met with her mother and father and they hired me for their daughter's wedding. However, they told me that it was a gift for her and was going to be a surprise. Therefore all my correspondence was with them and not her. I was very nervous about this because I wasn't sure how she would react to me being there, and I hod not established any kind of rapport with Kristen (the bride). However, when I showed up the day of the wedding to shoot bridal prep, her mother introduced me and Kristen had a big smile on her face, so I knew she would be fun to work with. Aside from the rain that started to come down right before the ceremony (which was supposed to be outside, but was moved inside), everything went great. The lighting on the dance floor was awesome, the ice sculptures were beautiful, and the bride and groom were just fun people to work with. The photographer was Rick Martin and he too was a pleasure to work with. We just clicked extremely well. I would help him out with my video light and it would result in some amazing images! Here's a few below
Its amazing what a shift in the direction of the light will do!
