This Oklahoma couple got married in Las Vegas, which in addition to the ceremony being in a suite on the 62nd floor we got to take them to the desert and the Las Vegas strip...and oh, we had a special suprise celebrity appearance.

We showed the SDE that night and then brought the edit back to Oklahoma, tweeked it and made it a highlight. Same length, just polished it a bit.

Did you put a filter or something on the camera/editing to make the sky such a rich blue at the beginning?

Hi Jeremy,

I bumped the colors a tad in post, but the color of the sky was primarily due to shooting in the late afternoon and using the Eastern sky as the background. Thanks for watching.

Awesome video Mark! Can you recall which clips were shot using the Vivitar 70-210?
Cannot wait to "officially" use our collection of MF lenses for a wedding we are filming this weekend

Hi Kren,

Thanks. The Vivitar 70-210 shots, as I remember them are:
1:05 Closeup
1:10 2 Shots
1:50 Groom Reaction
1:58 Tear Wipe
2:05-2:11 All Shots from Bride thru Kiss

The Vivitar Series 1 70-210 is an incredible bargain at less than $100, especially compared to the Canon 70-200 L Series with IS. The Canon lens is faster at 2.8 compared to 3.5 and has IS, but it is also about $2200. Have fun with your wedding this weekend.

Hi Mark, great job on this I LOVE the opening sequence!!!

I wanted to say hi and let you know that I talked to Trisha about a year ago on the phone and she was amazingly cool and very helpful - so just a quick thank you!! You guys are awesome!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the kind words. I remember Trisha talking with you. It would be great to meet in person some time.
