Really nice Malcolm. Well done. Great control over that tricky exposure. And YES we finally get the wedding movie category! There is so much nice work done with weddings and ML :D

Thanks Bart! Based on your recommendation, I shot this using flaat 10p and I really like the outcome. It's the perfect balance between neutral and cinestyle!

Wow Malcolm that was great work. Was that stabilised shot really bad at the alter? The exposures were spot on, can't believe there was all that detail in the wedding dress. What ML tool do you use for exposure, Histo', Waveform or peaking? And do you leave it on for the shot or shoot with clean display?

Sweet edit BTW, love the bokeh credits too. Is that camera effect or post effect?

Well done, very creative and romantic. I like your choice of angles and DOF. I love it.

Thanks  :)

@3pointedit: For portability, all my shots are from a monopod as it allows me to get in some tight / uncomfortable places very easily to get the shots I have in mind. The tripod is used by my assistant / 2nd shooter.

I have 2 display presets set up. The first one is the one I use most, including during recordings, and consists of a cinescope cropmark and histogram. The second one consists of histogram and luma zebra, which I use to set up a shot (when not in a hurry).

The effect in the final part is some free vfx footage found on vimeo overlayed on the other footage at around 60% opacity.
