Alicia Clemmons married Darrel Roberson on May 23rd, 2015 in Killeen, Texas.
The Guitarist/Singer is the amazing and gorgeous Jokia Williams!
I met this nice couple on thumbtack! I travelled to Killeen, the place was easier to find than I thought it would be.
I had a freelance assistant with me, he set up his Canon XA 20 and boom mike and got some glidecam shots of the room.
I set it up so that his camera would be the face / close up camera. I put my Canon DSLR behind them to be the master shot camera. I hid my go pro on the pedestal behind the unity candles.

Before the ceremony started I got slider shots of the cake and the decorations. I put my DSLR on the glider.
I really like having multiple camera angles in a wedding video. Everyone wants to see a close up of the brides face! And its great to have cut away shots to hide zooms.
Even though I am an Austin wedding videographer, I was glad a Killeen couple saw my demo reel and chose me!
Theres a trend in high end wedding videos to use video filtering technology to make video look more like true Hollywood “film”. Thats fine, but Ive noticed theres a hipster look, where the video looks like BAD film, shakey, blurry, burned out, too blue or too orange….. Like a family film shot in Super 8 from the 1950’s, where the camera person didn’t know what they were doing. Show me any commercial TV show or movie that looks like that?
This couple didn’t ask for that and I’m glad they didn’t. Keep it clean. Keep it safe. Can you see whats going on? yes? Good!

May 23, 2010. Ahh the old days. Standard Definition. Editing in the original Final Cut Pro and NOT Adobe Premiere.
( This page was re- edited September 8, 2024)
The color and focus on my Sony VX2100 Camera still hold up, even though its not High Definition.
And they’re still such a cute couple I’d love them in any dimensions!

Go Pros are great for shooting extreme sports and dangerous action shots.
But they often lack the “glamorous” look most families want in a wedding video.
But I always thought they might work hidden around the altar to catch brief moments a big camera wouldn’t fit in. Like behind the candles or over an archway.
Most of the time when the wedding couple is doing something like lighting the unity candle or the sand ceremony or the “Wedding Lasso” their backs are to the audience. And thus, their backs are to my cameras. Who wants to look at THAT?
About 2 years I had one of my “real” cameras behind the “Unity Candle” it looked great on video but it was kind of a distraction in the moment.
This was from a small digital camera hidden in the ceiling. 
You certainly wouldn’t want to look at THAT for the whole wedding video, but it’s an acceptable cut away shot.
In addition to my “real” cameras, I tucked my Samsung phone in the bushes behind the altar for THIS shot:

Advancing technology in all things, especially micro cameras, are making my job a LOT easier! I can use multiple cameras and not have to charge my couples any more money!
For my next weddings I plan on using more micro cameras to get lots of unique camera angles.
Youtube is a great place for filmmaking research. Wedding Videographers like to show off their new ideas and I like to implement them!

I just typed in “gopro wedding video ” to start my research. Some of the results were just silly, but some were brilliant. All were though provoking.
These folks used several Go Pros to record the whole wedding.
It’s interesting but I think THAT much fisheye is too much for a whole ceremony. You can see they also used a traditional dslr for other footage.

A Go Pro hidden in the brides bouquet?!?!? How clever!
I am SO jealous I didn’t think of this!!!
