Fun Destination Wedding · March 7th, 2011, 06:53 PM

This Oklahoma couple got married in Las Vegas, which in addition to the ceremony being in a suite on the 62nd floor we got to take them to the desert and the Las Vegas strip...and oh, we had a special suprise celebrity appearance.

We showed the SDE that night and then brought the edit back to Oklahoma, tweeked it and made it a highlight. Same length, just polished it a bit.

Cameras:
Canon 60D and 5D MkII

Lenses:
Tokina 11-16 2.8
Sigma 20 1.8
Nikon 24 2.0
Zeiss 50 1.4
Zeiss 85 1.4
Vivitar Series 1 28-108 2.8-3.5
Vivitar Series 1 70-210 3.5

Did you put a filter or something on the camera/editing to make the sky such a rich blue at the beginning?

Mark Von Lanken · March 9th, 2011, 12:02 PM

Hi Jeremy,

I bumped the colors a tad in post, but the color of the sky was primarily due to shooting in the late afternoon and using the Eastern sky as the background. Thanks for watching.

Awesome video Mark! Can you recall which clips were shot using the Vivitar 70-210?
Cannot wait to "officially" use our collection of MF lenses for a wedding we are filming this weekend

Hi Kren,

Thanks. The Vivitar 70-210 shots, as I remember them are:
1:05 Closeup
1:10 2 Shots
1:50 Groom Reaction
1:58 Tear Wipe
2:05-2:11 All Shots from Bride thru Kiss

The Vivitar Series 1 70-210 is an incredible bargain at less than $100, especially compared to the Canon 70-200 L Series with IS. The Canon lens is faster at 2.8 compared to 3.5 and has IS, but it is also about $2200. Have fun with your wedding this weekend.
