So me and my other shooters have been dinkin around with making a promo clip for the past weddings we've done. Not really fond of the music (which will change) but I think overall it has a unique look.

I think that looks pretty good...I'm considering doing something similar myself. Was that done in after effects?

Yup. 100 percent done in After Effects

I think that's amazing After Effects work. I shudder to think how long it would take me to get anything remotely similar.

Kelly, but I have to say -- what do you think about the whole dingy and forbidding warehouse thing? Is it strange to associate that with weddings?

I know some photographers who like to take the couple to grafitti-covered walls and dirty alleyways for the location shoot, because the contrast is striking. Is that the sort of thing you guys were going for?

This AE-work is made by a specialist which you can buy online for 35$.
You change the video-sections with your own clips.
It takes 15 minutes to produce this.

Yeah it was purchased from videohive.net The guy who created this is a fricken AfterEffects GOD!!! Definitely worth the $35 bucks. As for it being dark and somewhat scary for Wedding promos, that's pretty true. It kinda works more for movie promos. As for the 15 minutes to produce this......well try 6-8 hours actually. Since it's extremely computer intensive with it's 3d work and hard rendering, I had to render out a low res rough cut first, then take it in to Premiere to time the shots accordingly, then rerender with the new clips in place. It was kind of a pain, but sloshed through it!

Its actually kinda crazy, but we do have a lotta wedding couples request to do photoshoots in grungy urban areas, kinda like the CG warehouse in the video.
