For me personally the idea of watching a 2+ hour wedding video fills me with dread, no matter how skillful the camera work. It's never been a question of whether you or anyone else should or should not be creating extended videos, more that from a personal point of view this is not what I would enjoy.
I would like to stress the point that I'm sure your videos are well recieved and you attract a large client base. But you clearly offer a product which I would not like to offer. I have no doubt that you can make a fabulous 2 hour video and I'm positive you are skilled in the art of making long segments interesting. But, it's not something I would enjoy as a client or an editor.
And I have also noted a correlation between the requested length of a wedding video and the clients appreciation of percieved quality.
