Adriana & Julian - The Video

My wife and I can't wait to get our business full steam ahead. This past we compiled photos from friends' weddings and we shot a couple videos along the way. We will be focusing on the photo aspect of things but it's will be nice to have the video card in our back pocket as well.

Here's a look at our latest video from Adriana and Julian's wedding in the beautiful La Costa Resort in San Diego. I was great to get excited on this project. For two reasons; 1. The couple were great! Down to earth and gave my wife and I free reign to get the shots needed. And 2. It was a real test to see how the 7D would handle one full day of shooting. Yes, I need to add another battery to the arsenal and maybe another 32gig card. I love my wife for listening to me and also using her very creative eye to capture those special moments. Great job honey!

The major difference between editing thousands of photos and editing hours of video... not much at all. Different software is the only real thing I can think of. The time it takes to do either one is relative. Both require tedious amount of time behind the computer and crucial attention to detail. National University's media program covered the entire spectrum of media and I thank them for that. For that reason, I love doing both.

Props to Carlos Hernandez, the wedding photography, who was cool for letting me get in position in some shots even though I know I was in his shots. And props to Niloufar Gibson (www.perfectlymadeweddings.com) for keeping her cool in those hectic situations.

I'm happy to say that the bride and groom loved it. Even my wife became teary-eyed when she first saw the final version. Thank you Adriana and Julian for this opportunity. Great couple!

Enjoy.
