Ben & Rachel's Wedding

Ben and Rachel - Wedding August 3rd, 2013 from Shawn Hare on Vimeo.

Third wedding shot with partner Ryan Sherwood.

It was our first Jewish wedding, and was a lot of fun.

What a sweet couple. And Hava Nagila for cryin' out loud. What's not to like?

Ryan's workload (he's in college now) was a bit heavy so I ended up doing the editing of both the highlights video and the long version, as well as the DVD authoring.

Olivia and Tahlé Wedding

This is my (and Ryan Sherwood's) second wedding trailer video. Once again Ryan edited it, but both of us operated cameras. This one is a bit different from the first in that we were invited guests, and were asked only to film the wedding ceremony. So we tried to comply as much as possible, all the while sneaking in some extra footage here and there, at our leisure, to make it a little more dynamic.

The whole experience was fabulous, from the location of the wedding ceremony (St Luke's Catholic Church, in Barrington, RI) to the reception (Venus deMilo restaurant). Lots of smiling faces and the wedded couple were a lovely match.

Thanks so much to Sarah for asking us to be the videographers for Olivia and Tahlé's wedding!

Cameras used were three CanonT3i, with 70-200mm, 35mm, 84mm, and a GoPro camera.
The music is Ben Rector, "Disarm", licensed through Music Bed.

Not shown, but included in this project, is the long version, which is basically the ceremony; the DVD authoring, and packaging, all of which was done by yours truly.

My First Wedding Video

My first* wedding video. My partner in this venture is Ryan Sherwood of Sure Would Films and Blue Lobster Productions (along with his partner Max). We're looking forward to two more weddings we have lined up (so far).  I'm guessing we can only get better as time goes on.  Ryan did all of the editing of this trailer, and only consulted with me after an original rough draft which is nearly indistinguishable from the final result (that's how good his original was).  I do notice a little bit of a lull at a particular point, but other than that it came out rather nicely, especially for a first try. Most of the footage is admittedly Ryans, as my camera was used mainly for the constant during the ceremony.  Ryan and Max shot with Canon T3i's and I with a Canon XA10. It was edited with Adobe Premier Pro.

The bride and groom Grace and Anthony were fabulous! And the venue, Linden Place, Bristol, Rhode Island was very nice. The Lord provided a lovely day.

The music is "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane.

*Technically it's my second, as I recorded my stepdaughter's wedding, but I did so only with a Kodak Playsport mini-cam, and it was done before I had any formal training in video and editing.
