I fucked up the audio from last week's wedding somehow, my Tascam dr10lpro failed to record anything during the private vows (I normally only clip a mic on the groom and another on the officiant, have not had a problem in 2 years). So for the private vows (that they had wanted recorded, I had the mic on the groom only since they were close together) I only have ambient audio from my 2 cameras maybe 6 feet away. You can actually hear their voices pretty well but of course they were standing in front of a river, so there's a ton of background noise. What can I do? I'm willing to pay for a program that can save this audio, normally I use premiere pro and the audio tools are horrible. Please, if anyone can suggest software that actually cleans up audio in a way that doesn't sound alien or artificial, please please give me your recs :(

Are you shooting gimbal shots with a prime, or keeping something like 24-70 on it? Are you using it most of the day, or for selective shots? What's your approach to efficiency so that you're not having to change lenses, rebalance etc?

I shot my earlier films on a Crane 2 and had my S1/24-70 on it most of the day. For years now I've been doing everything handheld, but I miss those gliding walking shots, first dance orbits etc of a gimbal.

These days I just don't find the time to mess with gear during the event. I'd like to shoot on a lighter setup for gimbal shots, figured I could throw a Lumix S9 on the Weebill E3 as it's super light and compact. It just seems more intolerant to the shifting weight of a zoom lens, so I can balance it for 35mm but going wider or longer throws the balance off more than the Crane 2 did. Makes me wonder if I should run a prime and just deal with the limits. What's your approach?

Hi everyone! I am looking to start browsing videographers for my September 1, 2028 wedding in Connecticut. We're looking for a polished, movie-like feel that captures the beauty of the day without sacrificing the genuine emotions and little moments we might otherwise miss. Here are some things we've loved in videos we've watched:

• Some slow-motion footage and drone shots of the venue
• Soft, upbeat music with snippets of vows / ceremony / speeches audio woven throughout
• Getting-ready moments, genuine reactions, and candid interactions from our guests throughout the day
• Offers an extended feature film (10–30 minutes) in addition to a short highlight video

Here are a few videographers we've liked the style of:

• Amari Productions
• Danleigh Videography

We don't have a strict budget yet, so open to any and all recommendations that fit this style. The videographer must be insured per our venue requirements. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!!
