Your very own wedding movie

Posted by MsLovebird on Thursday, August 19, 2010
The thought of watching someone's wedding video is enough to make one run in the opposite direction. Who enjoys watching long drawn out footage, long speeches, and choppy camera motions? We were not even that into getting a videographer initially. Needless to say, I have been scouring tons of videographer's websites and vimeo pages in the past month. I think I must have looked into over 40 videographers and watched over 100 videos (although some only lasted 3 seconds in)! In the process, I've completely forgotten about this blog in the past month. All we've been focusing on is booking the videographer before they get booked by someone else.

The quality of some of these filmmakers is so amazing that I don't even mind that the videos are of people that I don't even know. With Canon's delivery of the 5D and 7Ds, videographers can now film some awesome footage with a small and lightweight camera making it much easier to incorporate glidecams and steadycams into their footage. Plus they can switch in and out lenses so easily allowing the ability to switch from zoom lenses to super fast lenses in the dark. The final result seriously resembles movie footage.

I think MrLovebird is happy that my search has finally narrowed down and he doesn't have to sit through too many more videos. Here's the list of our favorites.


Our favorite one so far is Joe Simon. This guy is a BMX rider turned BMX film maker turned wedding film maker. What a cool story! I love his work! He is fantastic at storytelling, his composition is perfect, and his timelapses are amazing! Videography wasn't in our original budget so we're looking at ways to reallocate other items so we can hire him. Hopefully we can make it happen before he gets booked by someone else. But hey, this and photographs is what you can still hold onto 30 years from today. Our kids will watch this video and have a glimpse into the lives of their parents on one of their most special days of their lives. Take a look at this and you will see how awesome he is. This has got to be one of my faves.
