So I'm guessing father of the groom played the groom in the future and mother of the bride played the bride?

I made the switch in June, and have been pitching HD to couples since then. To date I have not had a single couple interested in HD. I'm actually quite surprised. I didn't expect big numbers for...

The first one I did went really, really well I thought .. until I got a call a week later. Apparently the client was unhappy that the letters "REC" appeared onscreen. I had seen this during my...

Thanks, Nick. I shoot handheld at weddings and quite often it's for 1-3 hours straight. It kills my wrist and back. I have a hard time holding the handle with both hands and operating the gimbal...

Nick, very impressive Merlin work. I'm most impressed with your vertical stability on that opening shot. That was a really long shot and to keep the Merlin from moving up or down over the course of...

There are definitely more photographers in a given market than videographers. The demand for photographers is also higher, so maybe it evens out. It's hard to say.

The odd thing is that my wife...

That's a valid point, but I tend to think anything that popularizes the medium of video in wedding planning is a good thing. The biggest hurdle I face with booking brides is their lack of desire for...

My point was that it's easy for a videographer to look at a photographer's package that is $3k or $4k and forget that prints and album expenses are coming out of that package cost. Now I understand...
