Shine OnGeeky groom secretly records wedding with hidden camera on eyeglasses
If you imagine the things that every bride and groom want to go off without a hitch, professional photos and video on their big day would likely be up there. But when the groom is a self-proclaimed geek, he might just take matters into his own hands and set up secret cameras to capture the day.
Tech savvy groom Michael Kammes recorded his wedding ceremony and reception with a self-made video camera he attached to his glasses, in addition to other cameras placed elsewhere. The Hollywood, Calif. man describes his motivation on his blog and posts a YouTube video with the best footage.

I had to 1-up my 3-D wedding proposal, and what better way to do it than by recording the event with the first ever (?) groom POV hidden camera.
I wore several hidden HD cameras at our wedding to capture every moment from my point of view. This video is of the hidden camera I wore at eye level during the ceremony and reception. Here are the highlights, including the best moments from the ceremony, first entrance, first dance, cake cutting and garter removal!
As far as tech, I used a 1080p 808 #26 keychain camera with a 15" lens extension affixed to my glasses throughout the entire wedding.
A technology and marketing director, Kammes used a keychain camera and attached it to his prescription glasses. He even had backup plans should the technology not work.

Despite the great results, he did find one minor flaw.
"Even though I was looking at my bride-to-be right in the eye, many shots have me looking directly at her neck, chest, etc.," he explains of his bride Kate Miller. "And while these were all very lovely to look at, they certainly not representative of my actual eye line during the day."
Kammes used a 32 GB micro SD card to ensure the memory space would last for the whole event and had a portable battery on hand just in case.
What are your thoughts on this man's unusual wedding footage? Great idea or too distracting for the groom?
