Not everyone is super comfortable in front of a camera, and for the most part most people are very nervous. This was exactly the case going into this wedding. Brad had made the arrangements to have us film his wedding, and Randi was not to happy he had gone ahead and booked it. Even on our first meeting, I immediately got the vibe that cameras and Randi didn’t mix well, and I was probably enemy number one.

But I already knew Randi was going to be comfortable when the big day came, because our approach to filming a wedding is not what she was thinking of at all. No big cameras, no big productions, and most of all, no intrusive lights. And I was right! A few days after the wedding I received an email from Randi thanking me for being so unobtrusive and making her feel comfortable.

But did I stay to far back? Did I miss the shot because I didn’t want to get to close? Was this the wedding shot from the back of the Hall, distant and detached from the event? I don’t think so. Not a chance. Certainly not working with Tracey Buyce Photography at the Hall of Springs. My goal wasn’t just to be unobtrusive, but to deliver a video that made Randi give Brad the biggest hug for booking videography with us.

This really was a great wedding, and I had a blast working with Tracey and Dan the man, Al from TS Ensemble, and all the vendors. Thanks for having us, and congratulations.
