Looks like a fun wedding!

I like the cutaways you use. I know how difficult it is filming when you have very little control over lighting.
The opening bit was slightly epilepsy triggering for my liking! How comes you use a fade to light blue, its very distracting to my eye.
Have you ever considered using Magic Bullet Looks or similar software, they are great for forming an overall look to help all the scenes blend in and especially add some glamour to the dull lighting typical of many receptions.

that blue was one of their colors, ie. mens ties.

what exactly is this? stock transitional footage?

MB Looks is a way to completely alter the colour/exposure/saturation/softness etc. I find it can be a great, and in a time conscious line of work, quick way to spruce up and add a sheen to a finished project.
Do a search on Vimeo to see some impressive results and to also see it used too heavily handed!

You did ask for comment - I too found the blue transition very distracting, it emphasises the transition itself, apart from that it was great.

thanks again
