looked pretty good. definitely some clean shots. there were a couple things that kinda distracted me:

1. the color was consistent but seemed too cold for a wedding. even though it looked like it was at a resort and in the snow, i personally would have liked to see a warmer white balance is all just because its a wedding setting.

2. the shots behind the alter were a bit awkward for me, like when they were exchanging vows and you cut to that angle and then you couldn't see their faces it kinda took away from the moment. maybe a side angle close up on the face would have been a little better angle for the 2nd camera.

3. the dancing scenes were probably pretty dimly lit and it looks like you did the best you could while keeping it clean without too much noise on the glidecam but a fast prime would be ideal for that situation.

other than that solid edit. editing was spot on and a lot of the shots were very well done. keep it up! can't wait to see more

Very nice job! I really enjoyed the first half. The flow was great and it seemed like the emotion of the couple felt real. Like noted, the dancing was a little dark and the whole 180 during wedding ceremony was a bit odd. However great job overall. I refuse to do weddings, but this looked like a lot of fun!

what a beautiful couple and a nice event. The content was perfect, for a first wedding this is pretty solid.

Things that could be improved/bothered me.

-You seemed to have a lot of wide lenses, I would not use them too much for close interactions with people. There was a lot of distortion on some shots. The 2:35 1 ratio helped with this though, it doesnt look too bad, just could be better.

-underexposure was big for me. Seems like it was underexposed to keep the sky intact but the faces were far too dark. A good color grade could really bring back the mids while keeping the highlights. Add also a slightly warm filter and boom, your image is perfect. Its nothing that you cant fix in editing, its not that far lost. Next time maybee get an LED light

Things I would have loved to see:

-These guys looked good and tattoos seemed to be a big part of their life. Some nice close up shots of him grabbeing her hand where you see his hand tat, Maybee rubbing her shoulder to see her tattoo. people usualy LOVE their tats and this would have been a nice touch to realy personalise their video and give an interesting visual for people who dont know them

- a ring arrangement would have been nice especialy in the beautiful location you have.

Other than that I loved it, great opening shot, good flow, nice filming. All in all, good work!

I liked the composition, but pretty much every shot was underexposed.
