Awhile back I got to thinking, “why am I not doing wedding video?” I have the cameras and gear I already need, and in terms of video editing, it’s pretty simple (compared to a typical video story where you have to figure out the real story and then how to tell it concisely). Weddings use the same story elements every time, but with different characters and personalities. It’s predictable, but not necessarily in a boring way. That predictability is a factor you can rely on, and then feel freedom to branch off of and be even more creative.
So without further ado, here’s the first wedding video I ever did. And I shouldn’t really say, “I” did it since my buddy Stephen Garrett did all the editing, some of the shooting, and even got us the gig. We would have had this out a good bit earlier, thanks to Stephen’s speedy editing skillz, but we got hung up on the song. Specifically we tried to license a song by Sondre Lerche, but that got hairy and we went for plan B, which worked out great. We found a great site called With Etiquette that licenses songs specifically for use with wedding videos like this one.
Coming soon will be Jess and Elizabeth’s wedding video!
AMAZING. You’ve outdone yourself.
