After 12+ years of making moving images for people in various forms, purposes and mediums I finally shot and delivered a wedding video. Meeting people for the first time on the biggest and probably most emotional day of their lives and then taking out a camera to capture it all is an exercise in trust. A mini co-production of sorts. No package “A” package “B” etc, Instead a few emails where we discuss what you want, your budget and your wish list. Next I send you a basic outline of my base costs and off we go. Want me to capture a special family beach day before or after the ceremony, or shoot you surf, fish, swim, snorkel from land or water? All good.
I am looking forward to doing my first “Love Story” mini film. For this I would add a day of short fun interviews where you tell me your love story. Then I weave your dialogue to music and let the story unfold.
In the meantime enjoy this little sample. It was a small wedding so I choose to shoot it hand held with my DSLR, a 50 mm prime lens. It is a bit loose with a shallow depth of field providing a moodier and more cinematic texture then typical video cameras with fixed len’s.
