Rebecca and Adam Wedding Video

Just yesterday I was photographing Rebecca and Adam’s beautiful wedding. I am still working on the photos which I will share with you shortly, but Brad was there filming too. He already put together a beautiful little masterpiece of the day. I thought I would share it with you as a teaser for what’s to come.

Moving…

You may have noticed lately that I have been making an effort to embrace what my camera can do and incorporate video clips into my slideshows. Well, at Kelsey and Nick’s wedding Brad joined me and covered the ceremony exclusively in video. I am a photographer first, and my goal every time is to freeze those beautiful moments. Yet I have to admit, there are some things that are captured best with motion and sound. The laughter from their fun and cool bridal party. Kelsey wiping away a tear during the father daughter dance… and the part that brings a tear to my eye every time I watch this, is Nick’s beaming smile as he faces his bride at the altar. See it for yourself…

The Video!

Brad completed the video of our shoot Sunday and I must say he did an amazing job! It took me a second to get over the initial shock of seeing and hearing myself on camera. Yes, I really am that big of a nerd. No, I don’t think my shoes look good with that outfit (It was really muddy). Yes, I often lay down, climb on stuff, touch people, and invade there personal space during shoots. However, it’s all in the name of art!

Originally I wanted to make a promo video and try to make myself look as cool as possible. Then in all my planning for the shoot, planning for a video didn’t really happen. Instead, Brad just filmed the shoot from his point of view. So this is me, and this is what it looks like while I work. Now, to rave about Brad some more…when I saw how he so beautifully pieced together the music, the photos and captured such a feel for what I do… oh… *tear.* I love it! If you like it it too, leave Brad some comment love. I hope I will get to feature much more work from him in the future!

Keep in mind, I’m not a videographer, but… I did my best. Here is the beautiful dance performance from last night and a little clip of Diane, Brad and Buddy.

Moving Pictures?!

We just couldn’t wait to test out the camera!

This was shot in just a few minutes late last night because we had to see what the Mark II was all about… Then Brad wrote some music to go with it and made a youtube video for me. I still have a lot to learn because I only read enough of the manual to do this quick test. However, from what I’ve done so far, the camera is every bit as cool as it has been hyped up to be, but is that really a surprise? Having no musical talent at all (except for my attempts at ukulele) I am more impressed by the fact someone can sit down and write such cool music so quickly.

Musical Collaboration!

This video uses stop motion to capture the mood of a solitary man floating through a day of his life. All music was written and performed entirely by Brad Cordova. (He is also the guy who stars in the video.) I had been wanting to create something using stop motion for a long time. Then Brad started writing this song and I knew this was the project!

Some fun facts: We shot the video on a Saturday taking over 800 photos. Only one beer was consumed while shooting this video, and it tasted awful after pouring it into five glasses. For a few months I had been taking a polaroid of every guests who came into our apartment. So some of our friends and family make a quick appearance in the last scene. If you like some of the unique shirts Brad is wearing in the changing scene you can find them here and here.

Here are some of my favorite single photos from the different scenes that we shot.
