Molly Johnson and Michael Philips celebrated their marriage on January 2, 2010 at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH. The above video was edited together using footage taken following Molly around on her wedding day over several hours. The result is something called a “wedding trailer”, a brief collection of some of the key moments and emotions from the day. Wedding trailers are becoming a popular choice for couples selecting their wedding video packages because everything is edited down to a nicely packaged video that you can share with your friends and family.

I was only on video duty for this wedding, so most of my stills are candids taken between video takes. I also skipped color correction and touch-ups on the photos because they weren’t taken for professional purposes.

This video was my first outing with my video-enabled DSLR, the Canon 7d. The video has some odd shakes and wobbles to it, caused by me trying to improve the steadiness of the shots in post-processing. The original footage was quite shaky because I didn’t have enough practice to learn the best technique for shooting video on a DSLR. For the video and photographs I was using a Sigma 50mm, a beast of a lens with a 77mm diameter.

The music used in the video is from the Pixar’s motion picture “Up”. it was composed by Michael Giacchino, who has written for other Pixar films as well as the television show “Lost”. Giacchino writes a lot of intimate piano and string scores that I usually love.

The Butterfly Garden is part of the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, Florida. It is a special exhibit that costs a $10 to gain entry to, but it’s worth it to have a chance to take photos of the butterflies.
