Yes, I have returned with the next wedding. Been busy with the main site overhaul and saw some rough drafts today. Everything is on schedule I am told for a relaunch in about 2 weeks, at which point, don’t forget, the blog will move over to the main site and no longer be found on Wordpress.
Anyway, here is the opening to Laura and Ro’s wedding. Kind of taking a heavy documentary approach here in the beginning. I like it because it does not need music.
The less music, the lest effects, the simpler the cuts, the better. Like I said before, I think music and effects are just people’s way of covering up the fact that they do not know how to edit. You’re forcing people what to think and feel.
I got there early and just starting shooting what was going on before the photo session, which took place before the ceremony. I had what I thought were some nice shots, but not much to work with overall- just not much time between when the bride was done getting ready to when the photos started. So I had to keep the part before the photos start kind of short.
