Using the C100 for Weddings!

We had a chance to use 2 Canon C100s to mix with our C300 to shoot an all EOS Cinema wedding. We put the C100 through the paces and compare it to our current wedding workhorse the Canon 5DMKIII.

This is not a scientific test but a test to see how the feel, look and weight of the cameras compares to the 5D and C300. Both of which we already own.

Thanks to -
lensprotogo.com for letting us borrow the camera
themusicbed.com for providing the music for the soundtrack

A Costa Rica Wedding Film

We had the wonderful opportunity to go to Costa Rica back in December to film an amazing wedding. Our couple (A + S) had met in Costa Rica three years prior, it’s a beautiful love story that spans 3 years bringing the couple back to the place they met.

The wedding took place at a private residence on the cliffs of Playa Flamingo. With perfect weather, friends, family and love in the air they said their vows during sunset. We are so lucky to be able to tell these stories. Capturing true love through our lenses and weaving their story into a film they will cherish forever. I hope you enjoy it!

We traveled to nine countries filming and teaching, Turks and Caicos, Australia, New Caledonia, Brazil, Thailand, UK, Italy, India and Costa Rica. We are inspired by new places, people, landscapes and architecture all of which breathes life into our work.

We started our new commercial venture The Delivery Men which has been a huge success! We worked with some awesome companies – Jump Shot, I/O Denim, Hansar Hotels, The Andy Roddick Foundation and Panasonic to name a few. We are loving this new creative outlet and can’t wait to see where it takes us.

Elizabeth & Todd’s Wedding Highlights

Elizabeth & Todd’s wedding took place at Rough Creek Lodge, it was an amazing weekend! We had the pleasure of working with them for three days and documenting everything as it happened.

Elizabeth and Todd grew up riding horses, they have both been cutting champions and that is how they met. So what better place to get married then on a beautiful ranch. They had the ceremony in a wonderful chapel at sunset followed by a gorgeous reception created by Stage Works and DFW Events. The entire stage and decor was built from scratch, it was amazing! Cuvee kept everyone dancing the night away until the big surprise.

Just after the cake cutting the fireworks started to light up the sky, one of the best firework shows I’ve seen, spectacular!

So sit back and enjoy their wedding highlights!
