canon 7d highlights // jc plus esther
a couple weeks ago we got a call from canon. they had a new camera coming out, and they wanted us to give it a test drive. sounds exciting right? but, having a camera before its announced, not being able to take it outside with any labels showing, and needing to be ultra top-secret certainly has its pressures. nonetheless, we felt so lucky to get that call and were just waiting for the right oppurtunity to see what the camera could do.
enter jc + esther.
if i had to choose one word to describe these two it would be, without a doubt, organic. the dress esther chose to wear was made entirely by her aunt norma. not only did she make the dress, she also helped esther get into on her wedding day. the beer at the reception was one of jc’s home brews. their cakes stood atop towering stumps, their place cards set amonst a tray of grass, and the present jc got for esther was unmistakeably original and very organic. all of this, and i haven’t even got to their so very touching vows.
armed with two pre-production 7ds, i don’t know if i was quite prepared for all that i would experience that day. i’ll start with the imagery from the 7d, their highlights film, and follow up with some of our first impressions later in the week. if your interested in more technical details, follow the link to vimeo for a complete write-up.
sorry for the tech speak at the beginning and ends, canon asked us very nicely to share that with you since it is a pre-production camera :)

I just purchased the Canon 7D and cannot wait to use this functionality. And, what a stupendous job in creating this exceptional video.I have meet a very special woman named Amber and hopefully we will be in a wedding video like this in the near future.
Ok I see you had two cameras. again great looking stuff!
Very pretty. Kudos on the great work. Question. How was this shot by one Cinematographer if when they kiss for the first time we have two angles of them kissing and matched action of the officiant walking off stage? There had to be two cameras unless they did two takes.
Simply amazing! I just got my 7D today and I went on the hunt to find what others were creating… truly inspiring piece!
Simply AMAZING! Here I am tearing up watching this but I don’t even know the couple and I see numerous weddings myself as a photographer. Keep up the great work (or passion because it’s obviously there)
hey man – honestly this was so good, that it made me want to tank my wedding photography business and come be your unpaid intern. so when do I start? :) nice work my friend.
this is absolutely amazing… i am speechless. You captured such beautiful moments and pieced them together so beautifully. You are truly talented and I admire your creativity.
Amazing amazing job.
Ben Affleck?
Great work guys. One question….after working with the 5Dmkii and sampling the new 7D, how did you find the DOF issues? Was the 1.6 crop factor a big deal? Or were you missing out on the big wide angle shots you get on the 5D?
WOW!!! So impressed with your work! You guys have some serious cinematography skillz and to be able to shoot this completely with two 7Ds? Keep up the great work! If I ever get married …. I’m calling you guys for sure!
Amazing vows. Beautiful video. Great job.

Great work Patrick, That is one amazing video shot with the 7D. Looking forward to working with you with the Canon SLR’s.
I was a guest at this wedding and knew you were going to create something special (Esther shared your work with me months ago). All I can say is that I’m speechless and humbled by your talent and ability to capture the perfection that was that day.
You guys are beyond amazing! Always so impressed with your work. Brilliant move by Canon to give you guys a 7D first.
WOW. Just wow. This is truly incredible Patrick!!!
Un-freakin-believable! That was amazingly put together. Excellent camera work. Excellent camera! Excellent editing.

That was actually “shot by one [AWESOME] cinematographer with two canon eos 7ds” :) I’ll be scratching my head all day thinking about how you did that on your own – awe inspiring. A beautiful story!
