What to Expect on Your Wedding Day: A Videographer's Guide

Knowing how the videography team works can make the day feel more relaxed. Good coverage starts before the ceremony with planning, venue awareness and sensible camera positions.

Wedding Day Guide for videographers

Planning and flexibility

Wedding coverage should reflect the couple and the day. Beforehand, discuss the timetable, important people, locations and any moments you especially want preserved.

Before the ceremony

Where practical, understanding the ceremony venue and intended flow helps determine camera positions and audio options. On the day, arriving early also gives time to capture details and establish the setting.

Camera placement and discretion

The aim is to obtain useful angles without becoming the focus of the event or unnecessarily blocking guests. Multiple cameras can provide coverage while allowing each camera to remain comparatively unobtrusive.

Ceremony and reception

The ceremony benefits from dependable wide coverage as well as closer angles. At the reception, speeches, entrances, first dances, cake cutting and other planned moments can then be covered according to the agreed timetable.
