Marcel + Kirsten | Skydiving Wedding Highlights | Serendipity Studios

Marcel likes .. no … LOVES to jump out of airplanes. Aside from Kirsten I think it must be his greatest passion in life. As we got to know Marcel and Kirsten for the 18 months leading up to their wedding, I knew I had to find a way to weave Marcel's passion into their wedding highlights.

For me the tie-in was easy. Marriage is totally a leap of faith. You're setting out to build a life together with someone else, and that is daunting. It is also exhilarating. To know you've found that one person .. the right person … to take your leap of faith with … well, there's just no other feeling like it in the world.

So despite a stormy day that nearly canceled the jump, and despite the malfunction of 2 cameras out of 3 during the shoot, we made it happen. I really can't point to my 'favorite' wedding highlights of all time, but I can definitely say this is one of my favorites. And not just because I got to jump out of a plane with the groom …

Enjoy!

FYI - this had the most difficult Steadicam shot I've ever done and I had one chance to nail it .. whew!

I did my first SDE this past weekend and I started upsidedown on the coupes shoes and ended on their faces as they walked into the reception tent. I posted it here if you wanna check it out. But I did it like that because I thought of how you tried a shot that was difficult and had one chance to do it and I wanted to do the same thing.

Re: Marcel + Kirsten | Skydiving Wedding Highlights | Serendipity Studios

Greg, the first shot was done with a Canon 60D believe it or not. It was a very tricky shot as I had to let it run for about 10 minutes to get the clouds moving and THEN pan down to the plane. I also only had one shot to get it because we were out of time for getting clearance to get in the air.

As for the shots of the dive, auto-ISO for sure. We actually had 3 cameras setup to film the jump but only got footage from 1. The groom forgot to turn his camera on before he jumped, which kind of killed me because I really wanted at least one shot from his perspective. The other camera that didn't work was a 7D set to shoot slo-mo (60fps). It was owned by one of the other jumpers and he apparently was using a cheap card so we got 4 seconds of video before it stopped. Laaaame.

In the end it changed how we had planned to edit the video, but I'm still pleased with the result. Thanks for watching!
