It wasn't bad, but it also didn't really inspire me at all. You have some issues with camera-shake in quite a few shots, and the coloring could use some extra 'punch'. In terms of the flow the trailer didn't seem to have any direction or purpose to it. That's not a requirement, just something that appeals to me.

I like the shot that panned up from the bouquet to the couple, and the shot through the wooden railing, as well as some others.

Agree with Travis. The shakes were distracting . You need to nail them down. Some of your framing was a little out as well. Thanks for posting.

I wish I could film some weddings where they incorporate sparklers and creative things into the exit's.... I'm tired of watching the B&G just run out with nothing spectacular... Boring....

Anyways, I thought that your video was pretty good. I dont believe that many people would notice slight camera shake... I'm still doing my best to master "the walk". That is, to have as smooth of looking footage without using a glidecam or fig...

One thing that might have looked cool in a video like yours would be to show one wedding highlight start to end but replace the B&G on every shot... If that makes since. It would still fit to a timeline but you would be able to display the best shots of each wedding.

Thanks for posting.

As has been said, needs work. Your moving shots need to be much steadier. They are ruining your video.
