Brooke and Derek's Full Wedding video

I have to count my blessings when it comes to the wedding clients I have had the joy of working with over the years. I've never had to deal with a 'bridezilla' or over bearing requests. To say Brooke and Derek were a breeze to work with is a huge understatement! They were such an amazing and loving couple, and I felt immediately at ease when we first met on their wedding day. Even despite getting up at 4am to drive down to the Cape to catch the ferry, it was an awesome day all around! The weather was picture perfect, the bride and groom looked amazing and happy from start to finish, and not to mention they had an AMAZING band playing!

Here is the finished product!!

Brooke and Derek's Wedding from Lucent Weddings on Vimeo.

This was my first wedding that I shot with my Canon 7D and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about shooting the majority of the wedding on a DSLR. This is the big reason I brought my fiance down with me as a second shooter. She had some experience with shooting video at her full time job and I think she did great! She was able to capture some very important moments like Brooke getting ready in her dress, and the first time her father saw her in it, which I was unable to capture while filming the groom and his party getting ready. She also shot the ceremony and some of the reception which is vital in getting seamless coverage, especially when I'm running around getting shots from different angles. **I never try and up-sell packages to customers, but I highly recommend at least a second camera on a tripod for the ceremony, or a second shooter for half of the day if the bride and groom are not getting ready in the approximate same location**
