Having Fun With the Lewis Family Through a Camera Lens.

My equipment is the Canon Vixia HV30 High Definition video camera. I recently purchased a Canon T2i DSLR camera as well. Can you tell I'm a Canon fan? I'm currently editing on Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0 and also use Premiere Elements 7.0 so I can edit in HD. Most graphics and special effects are done in Adobe After Effects and PhotoShop.

The DSLR will not only shoot amazing photos, I will also be able to shoot 1080p high definition video. The big advantage will be the ability to use various lenses for what I'm shooting.

The Wedding of Nisha and Parag

I'm currently editing the three day Indian wedding of Nisha and Parag which took place on Labor Day weekend. This was one of the most beautiful weddings I've had the privilege to work on. Indian weddings are rich in tradition and are very colorful (which makes for great video!). Nisha and Parag will give you an insight to each tradition here. So far, I've edited the Friday morning Henna Paint event at Nisha's parents (Harshad and Rehka Mehta) and created a highlight video. Their photographers were the husband and wife team of Cyndi and Tony Araujo, of Araujo Photography, who were very professional and great to work with. Cyndi especially has a wonderful talent in engaging the family and making them feel comfortable while Tony goes about shooting fantastic photos. And speaking of the family, I really appreciated the warmth extended by both families and the help and understanding they gave of each tradition. My next step will be the party at the Mehta home on Friday evening. You won't believe the fun that was! Look for my next post.
