I had the wonderful opportunity to capture CTV’s Erin Isfeld and Edmonton Police Officer Brad Harsch’s wedding at Blue Meadows beside Black Hawk Golf Club in Edmonton. The weather, photos and bride and groom were all perfect that day and the Police helicopter even dropped by for some quick photos which was super cool! Enjoy! Also check out their Engagement Photos.

For this story I really wanted to challenge myself to get the best quality possible for the video and try out a slider for my second camera. A slider is basically a motorized track that the camera moves on so you get that cool slow movement in your video. The slider in the picture was my first version. I have since built a nicer slider that I will blog about later.
Below are some behind the scenes photos so you can see how I lit the video. I used two strip boxes with 200 watt equivalent CFL bulbs and a Canon 10watt halogen light for hair light. For one shoot I used two 5D Mark II’s with a 50mm and 85mm f1.8 lens. For the shoot with Gladys I used a 5D Mark-II and a Canon HV20 with a DOF adapter though I never used footage from that camera.
For sound I used my Olympus LS-10 PCM recorder with a Rode Video Mic on a boom. I synced the audio from the Olympus with my 5D video using the amazing program for Final Cut Pro Plural Eyes.
