Surprise SDE · May 30th, 2009, 06:25 PM

Yesterday, we were at a Friday wedding for a wonderful couple Valerie & Victor. The original plan was to show the engagement shoot which I already posted but what they didn't know was that there was a SDE to follow.

We spoke to the groom on Sunday saying that we would like to have something small to say about his to be wife. We didn't tell him what it was for:)

This is our first SDE and soon we will be posting couple's reaction as they saw the SDE on the big screen at the hall.

Would welcome feedback.

Jawad, your first SDE blows my first SDE out of the water.

The interview with the groom was a great touch that I'm sure your clients appreciated.

I dig the handheld feel of the groom prep. Which brings me to some constructive comments - I felt the groom camerawork was stronger than the bride's. Nothing really wrong with that, It's just fairly common that the stronger shooter is with the bride.

Some color work (I assume from twwo diff cameras) didn't quite match.

Nonetheless an exceptional first SDE. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate criticism.

I wish that bride coverage was better because this was first SDE and all was done in rush I couldn't grab the best bride footage but I agree with you.

In terms of cameras, they were same and same settings. I just tried to differentiate groom and bride look.

Thanks again:)
