Easiest way to film (and edit) with two DSLRs:
-- Designate one camera the main coverage cam. So, for ceremony, this might be placed in the aisle. Make it wide and locked off. Most of the time,...

Re: Exposure flicker fix?
Out of interest, could these programs be used to smooth out an aperture change? (I mainly use DSLRs that click in 1/3 stop increments rather than a smooth iris wheel change.)

Re: High End Wedding Websites

James, you do amazing work. And the thing is -- I'm sure you could shoot an amazing wedding on a smartphone or a GoPro if you had to. The operator matters more than the camera.
