3 Things For Your Wedding Videographer To Capture On Your Big Day

Posted on

Have you decided to hire a wedding videographer to make a video of your special day? If so, it will help to know what they should be capturing on film so that they do not miss anything important. Make sure all of these things make it into your wedding video.

Pre-Ceremony Preparation

Consider having the videographer visit the bride and groom as everyone is getting ready for the ceremony. There are plenty of small moments that can be captured, such as you putting the corsage on your mother's arm or pinning a boutonniere to your father's suit. The bride may also want to capture that initial reveal of when friends and family see her put on her wedding dress for the first time on her wedding day. These may not seem like a big deal at the time, but they are moments that you will look back at fondly years from now.

First Look With Groom

While the groom typically sees the bride for the very first time as he is walking down the aisle, it is possible that you may want to have a more private moment captured that you can remember where the groom sees the bride in her wedding dress for the first time. Some people like to have a little fun with this, finding creative ways to surprise their soon-to-be spouse, but it will be sure to create a memorable moment no matter how it is done.

Audible Vows

One part of the wedding ceremony that is very special for the bride and groom are the vows, especially if they were hand written and are being heard for the first time. However, you don't want to find out later that your vows were barely audible because the videographer was not able to hear your whispered voices. Ask about if it is possible to have a microphone to capture your vows, even if they are not broadcast on a speaker for others to hear more clearly. You may appreciate being able to actually hear your vows many years from now when you look back on your wedding day by watching the video.

These are just a few things that you'll want your wedding videographer to capture. If you are looking for more ideas, plan to meet with your videographer before your big day and discuss what kind of shots they have planned. You may be surprised at all the creative things they come up with. Contact a company that offers wedding videography services to learn more.
