I just watched the video (couldn't do that at work, stupid computer!) and WOW! I was enthralled! So do you have all that fancy gear that to me looks like what Sigourney Weaver strapped herself into to beat the alien thing??

You did great! Honestly that does not look like a first wedding shoot. The bride and groom will be very happy with these shots! Keep shooting you have a great eye

Just visited your website, and I see why your first wedding photos came out so well-- you're good! I love your lighting. Want to be my mentor?? :)

Very nice! I prefer b&W for wedding photography, and have been playing with the idea of being the only photog in my market to strictly work in b&w for weddings. I know that would be limiting, but it would be something different.

A nice start for sure. Not a fan of the Groomsman shot.

I just saw all your comments!

Thank you all so much!

And the only thing I had for the video work was a glidecam pro.

They all look good. Bur the first one more or apply a vignette, girls do look like they got something going on in their face.

I know that Katy Perry song is fairly new, I just want to make sure that you have the proper licensing rights to it otherwise you'll run into issues as you're using it for paid work.

I thought that wedding video one of the better ones I've seen.
Great shots and editing, never dull, and unlike so many I've seen where the camera is just left running for a static 20 minutes of the ceremony drudgery!
(Ps, I'm sure nobody is going to snitch you to Katy! ;))

Love! I think 5 would be even stronger without the people in the background.

Awesome video. Are you shooting with someone else or are you doing the video and photography alone?
