Hey there, lovebirds! If you’re getting ready to tie the knot and want to capture your special day in all its glory, you’re in the right place. As a seasoned wedding videographer team here in Melbourne, we are here with some fantastic tips to help you shine on camera and make your wedding video truly unforgettable.

We pride ourselves on being a more unobtrusive wedding video shooters on the day, that means we steer more towards natural and candid shots and allowing the day’s essence to unfold more naturally. We do have some set up shots (get your pearly whites ready! , as it’s important to cover that base and nail those romantic set ups with your loved one, but we do like you to relax your jaw muscles too!

 

 1. Be Yourselves, Naturally

Remember, your wedding video is all about showcasing your unique love story. So, just be yourselves! Forget about the camera and let your personalities shine. Laugh, cry, and share those genuine moments – that’s what makes your video truly magical. You want to look back years to come and say yes that was really me letting loose as opposed to that was me posing exactly how the photographer/videographer wanted me to pose (we do have our selection of pose styles too but they are more loose and allow you to relax and have fun while we shoot around you).

 

 

2. Plan Ahead, But Stay Spontaneous

While some moments can be planned, others happen spontaneously. Work with your wedding videographer to create a rough schedule for the day, but don’t stress if things go off-script. Some of the most heartwarming and hilarious moments come from unexpected surprises like when we took a couple of golf carts for spin after the bridal party had consumed a few drinks (The National Golf Course provided the drivers don’t worry!)

 

3. Location, Location, Location

 Your wedding location sets the stage for your video. Whether it’s a romantic garden, a stunning beach, or a chic city venue, embrace the beauty around you. And if your wedding videographer suggests some scenic spots, trust their expertise – they’ve got an eye for those picture-perfect shots! Use those forest or blue sky or city back drops to your advantage. If you’re in the city hey why not just get a shot on the tram tracks and use some of Melbourne’s iconic symbols.

4. Power of Details

From the intricate lace on your dress to the hand-picked flowers in your bouquet, small details add layers of emotion to your video. As you wedding videographer we’ll make sure to capture these elements for you. They really do add a sense of who you are and how the day unfolded, like the necklace your late grandmother gave you or the old photos of you and your hubby to be’s first European travels placed on the photo wall.

5. Trust your Wedding Videographer

Speaking of your wedding videographer, they’re like your personal storytelling ninja. They know the best angles, lighting, and shots to make you look like stars. Trust their guidance, and let them work their magic to create cinematic moments you’ll cherish forever.

 

6. Embrace your Emotions

Some people, naturally,  tend to squelch up when the cameras are rolling which is understandable but Weddings are emotional roller coasters, and that’s what makes them so beautiful. Don’t shy away from tears of joy or bursts of laughter. These authentic emotions are what make your wedding video truly touching.

 

 

7. Make Time for Intimate Moments

Steal away for a few intimate moments during the day. A stolen glance, a whispered promise – these moments are pure gold for your wedding videography. Take a breather from the hustle and bustle to bask in the love you share. We encourage couples to steal away during the wedding and get some sneaky shots at golden hour or at a favourite spot of theirs nearby. Yes we understand you want to be with your guests and family but sometimes it’s absolutely magical to remove yourself and actually live in the moment on your wedding day away from the chatter. Encouraged by the way not a must, we totally respect your needs here.

 

 

 

 

From the “I do’s” to the “happily ever after,” your wedding videography journey is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, embrace the excitement, trust your wedding videographer, and let your love story shine on camera. Your wedding video will be a timeless treasure that you’ll revisit for years to come.
