Here are 10 tips to help you get the most from your wedding video.
- The video will generally look better if the lights at the ceremony and the reception are not turned down too low.
- Facing each other during the ceremony, instead of the officiant, gives you the best shots for your video and photos.
- Smoking, eating and chewing generally looks bad on video. We will take care not include video where these things occur.
- Please inform your photographer that you expect him to work with the videographer and coordinate his/her shoots and movements with them.
- Consider asking your officiant to request the guests to stay seated during the ceremony to avoid blocking the crucial shots.
- The groom will wear a wireless microphone. Be assured that his private comments won't be heard. We request that the groom doesn't turn off or adjust the microphone set up.
- Try not to react to the presence of the camera, especially turning away. When the choice is between the photographer and the videographer, always, always look at your photographer!
- Inform your bridal party to be aware of the camera and to assist by slightly stepping aside so that the videographer can get the best shot.
- An outdoor wedding looks best when it's set up so that no one is in direct sunlight.
- Please ask your guests to stand behind the videographer and photographer during key moments such as the rings, the kiss, the garter/bouquet toss and cake cutting.
With these tips in mind you should end up with an undistracted video you'll cherish forever.
