Recording an entire wedding ceremony is probably one of the most nerve-wracking jobs to do. There’s much stress, lots of research work and a full day of running around before the final editing which results in some of the most amazing wedding videos.


To get the final result loved by the couple or the client, you need to keep in mind few things. The requirement of cameras placed at proper places. Managing the lights for every shot. Making sure that the audio merging is properly done. And of course, keeping in mind that there can’t be any retakes of the “first kiss” and the “I Dos”! In short, you have to be well-prepared mentally, with the gears and with exactly what the clients want and you can capture.

Tips on recording the best wedding videos:
  • Concentrate on the couple, don’t miss the close family members
It is obvious that the bride and the groom are the centers of attraction on their big day. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t love to find footages of the bridesmaids and the groomsmen and ofcourse of the proud parents recorded in the video. Your video needs to make room for everyone to shine and provide some spectacular memories of the day.
  • Don’t make it a stretched home video
It might be an easy job to stand at a place and keep recording the endless footages of the events happening around with the bride and groom involved. But to be true, this won’t make a great video. This would make the wedding video look like home video.
  • Reach out for close-ups, while still maintaining distance
It is a golden rule to try capturing close-up shots thereby capturing emotions on people’s faces. However, you need to keep your distance, as no one will give you the genuine reactions you want if they notice themselves being filmed. For this, investing on a good telephoto lens is suggested.
  • Play with the angles
Shoot everything at three different angles. Once you spot something interesting, find few different angles to record it. This will allow you to cut between the different angles while editing. Good alternative views can be explored using out of focus foreground objects to add a sense of depth in the scene.
  • Don’t overdo with slow-motion
Slow-motion looks good, but only if not overdone. Slow-motion footage of the first dance is perfectly acceptable, but not for every event that is happening throughout the event. Less is more, as they say.
  • 4K and future proofing
All of the color information when shooting 4K is what helps make the footage look great, especially when you compress that 4K footage down to a more standard HD resolution. It would also enable you to shoot wider and then crop in to the frame afterwards.
  • Editing
The key to editing is to enjoy it. Unless you do the editing part with full enjoyment and dedication, you can’t hide the flaws in the final edit. Getting the right look is something that you should agree upon before editing to reduce any back and forth between yourself and your client.
  • Be ready with the b-roll
Capture all those exteriors and those untouched place settings before getting ruined and that champagne tower – all for those plenty of b-rolls needed during editing.
These are few tips which, if followed, can come up as amazing wedding videos to make both you and your clients happy and content.
