I asked this question about a month ago before I shot my first wedding and got some good advice and I was basically wanted to ask again as the scenario has changed a bit.
I am shooting a wedding in a few weeks and I am needing to rent a 3rd camera. I currently own a 6D and a GH4 with a large number of lenses.
It's an outdoor wedding with an inside reception. I really would love to rent the Sony a7sii because I am considering purchasing it, but I've been scared off a bit by people saying it will be a challenge to grade all three cameras in post, which makes sense. Perhaps with me using a metabones adapter on the GH4, it may not be as challenging as the depth of field won't be too big of an issue.
The bride hired me to only create a highlight video of the ceremony and the reception. She does not want to receive a full length video of her ceremony.
The idea is to have the 6D in the back middle capturing everything. My wife or I will use the GH4 with our metabones adapter and Canon 70-200 to walk around and get footage during the ceremony. Then one of use will do the same with the camera we rent. Once the ceremony is over, the 6D will go in the bag and we will just use the GH4 and the rented camera at the reception. The last reception we did was very low light and the GH4 struggled a bit. I'd love to try out the a7sii in that setting to see how it works.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
Below is the video I did for the bride and groom last month.
