A Wedding - Ellen & Allen

1 Comments Published by ArizonaVideography.com on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 at 7:09 AM.

Ellen & Allen were married in the LDS Arizona Temple in Mesa Arizona. When Ellen contacted me about video taping her wedding, because of her uncommon last name, I asked if she knew some people with whom I had grown up with the same sir name. And she did. Ends up I attended church with her grandparents, her mother and an uncle who was my same age. Small world.


After I posted Samantha & Robbie's video here, Ellen contacted me because she really liked it and wanted to have hers done very similarly. So, here it is. Ellen, I hope you like this as well.




I shot this with two cameras. My Canon HV-20 was mounted on a tripodd to get wide shots and I handheld my Canon XH-A.

Evening Photography Session

When Megan & David were married, they had a photo session before the wedding ceremony and one after. By the time everyone gathered for the post-ceremony photo session, it was DARK! This video will give you an idea of how well today's professional video cameras can shoot in low light situations.



We used no video lighting except when we were following behind them on the sidewalk and in the closing shot by the pond. The main camera I use is a Canon XH-A1 professional HDV video camera. Also, we shot the crossing and moving shots with a Canon HV-20 HDV video camera mounted to a Steadi-Cam.


A Love Story - Samantha & Dale

Samantha and Dale will be getting married on July 18th and I am creating a love story video for them to play at their reception. One type of music they agree on is 50's oldies so when they said one of their favorite songs is 'Earth Angel' I figured it was perfect to work into a retro 8mm film type of effect.

This is just a short version for the blog. The actual completed video will have multiple locations and interviews. The day we shot this video it was VERY windy. So windy we could not tape the interview outside due to the wind noise. Since I lived nearby, we taped the interview in my living room. I hope you enjoy watching this video.


A Wedding - Samantha & Robby

Samantha and Robby were married in the LDS Arizona Temple in Mesa, Arizona. In the time outside the temple after the marriage, I shot video of the friends and relatives who were awaiting the appearance of the bride and groom. When Samantha and Robby appeared, the photographer only briefly photographed the bride and groom, as well as family and friends, before everyone departed for the reception venue, Villa Siena in Gilbert. What a wonderful, beautiful couple!


Most of this video was shot with my Canon HV-20 mounted to my Merlin Steadi-cam (which I am still learning to master). I shot the wide shots with my Canon XH-A1. I slowed most all the shots down to 50% speed because I felt it went well with the music and to stretch the time of the shots I had.




A Love Story - Kaela & Chase

The original video was 25 minute in length and played during the couples wedding reception June 12, 2008 at The Shanandoah Mill in Gilbert, Arizona where once again I enjoyed working with Jerry and Sarah of Ferguson Photography. I have shortened the length of the video by leaving out most of the couples interview. The video was taped on the grounds of the LDS Arizona Temple in Mesa, Arizona. During the video interview, the lawn sprinklers came on just as Chase is talking about the first time he told Kaela he loved her. This was totally unplanned and sent us scrambling to move cameras and video equipment.


A Wedding - Megan & David

Megan & David were married December 1, 2007 in Chandler, Arizona at The Ashley Manor and this is a fast moving highlight video of their wedding and reception. The day started out very blustery but we were very fortunate that by the time for the ceremony the wind had calmed down. The wedding was filmed with one handheld camera (Canon XH-A1) and one stationary camera (Canon HV20). Alma & Matt Krueger with De Amor Photgraphy did a wonderful job and were a pleassure to work with.



Kami & Vaughn

I filmed this wedding back in August at the LDS Arizona Temple in Mesa. Last night, I was reviewing it and saw a few little things I wanted to touch up and when I was done I decided to go ahead and post it to the blog. It is in our gallery, also.

The "bouncing bouquet" in the black and white segment was a new effect for me at the time. The bouquet just seemed to be talking to me saying do something with me, because Kami, the bride, was just kind of holding it up in the air. So I figured since I had a clean shot of it throughout the scene I would give it a try. I think it turned out pretty good and hope you think so, too.



The photographer is Sarah Walker with FergusonPhotography.com. She has such a way with her couples to make them feel at ease and get the very best from them. Check out their website and see some of their great photography.

The video was filmed in HD with a Canon XH-A1 mounted to a Steadiam Merlin stabilizing system.
