I'm looking for a real video camera that might match up with d810 for weddings. Less that $2k hopefully

What is your definition of "match up"?

Was going to ask the same question based on the title.

To put a general spin on things, for the 'look' of 35mm sensor you're going to be out of luck. There's no such video camera.

Alternative though... Canon XC10 1" sensor (though you may have to wait a while given it was announced last week) - $2500+

Panasonic AG-AC90 - normal-small video camera sensor ~$2000

Panasonic - AG-AF102AEN - 4/3rds sensor in a video camera body.... will need lenses and cost is closer to $3500.

And a kit'ed out Sony A7s is a good alternative but is a still camera body.

Sounds to me like the OP is looking for a second camera (B Camera) that will closely match the D810's footage with the least amount of headaches in editing the two together? The OP needs to clarify.

Though not a real video camera, the D610 should be a good B camera then.

Ok what do you consider the most important features
that would make it "match" the 810?

You're asking the wrong people. Have you tried over at dvinfo.net? Bet the subject has been covered.

most camcorders do not have sensors nearly as large as the D810 with the same range of depth and colour reproduction (without spending a S**T load of money)...... you will have a hard time matching the file off the camera without some post work. I use a Sony NEX5 and my D800 footage -- and have to do some matching in post. I use the D800 for video work, because I can do things like use my 14-24 which is stunningly wider than I could ever get on the NEX cam.

The D810 already shoots broadcast quality video (The TV show "Dexter" was actually shot with a D800 in the later seasons). The large FF sensor also has DOF that is not really matched by any Camcorders unless you want to shell out a ton of cash. It's going to look quite a bit different. I'd be surprised if you could find anything at all that is a direct match without post processing required.

Not really camcorders as such but your best bet is probably to look at blackmagic

Take a look at the Sony NEX series interchangeable lens camcorders.

I use an NEX-EA50 (APS-C sensor, matches most Nikons fairly well in color tone). The FS100, FS700 are very nice as well.

You need a Phantom Flex - about as good a camcorder as the D810 is as a DSLR

http://www.visionresearch.com/Products/High-Speed-Cameras/Phantom-Flex4K/

just a little more expensive.

You want a camcorder that mostly matches a D810... such is the price, rather than saying that they don't exist, which in the case of your $2,000 limit, they don't...
