Weddings

Wedding Filming Overview

For Wedding coverage generally starts 1 hour prior to the the actually Wedding Ceremony.

For a Church Wedding when I arrive, I start with shots of the Church outside, then go to in and do a few shots inside (if allowed).

I then use these shots as a backgrounds for your titles along with your photographs.

Wedding Of Bride and Groom, Bestman, Chief Bridesmaid, Bridesmaids, Ushers, etc

Next I Film The Groom, Bestman and all of the rest of the Wedding Party and guests arriving, as many as I can. Not all like to be filmed, in which case I respect their wishes and don't film them.

Finally I capture the Bride arriving and a few shots before she goes inside the chuch.

I then go inside the church and setup on the tripod to record the actually Wedding Ceremony in full.

(note where allowed, as stated by vicar, minster, priest, etc)

Next I go through to the vestrary and record the signing of the register along with a few other candid shots of the Bride and Groom and Main Wedding Party.

After all this, unless there is an extended service, in which I will resume my position back on the tripod for further filming; I get ready at the back of the Church ready to capture the Bride and Groom walking down the aisle as a married couple.

Next I proceed outside and continue as before and record the Happy Couple Outside along with members of the Weddding Party and guests, normally working along and complimenting the stills photographer.

If the Bride and Groom are to go off to a nice location like the local park or lake, etc, then I will following and again working along side the still photographer recording the Bride and Groom solo for even more extra footage.

Next arrive at the reception, record outside shots of the venue, then go I inside and record the Reception Room, balloons, banners, tables, and Wedding Cake. Followed by Shots of The Bride and Groom cutting the cake and then record the Bride and Groom enter in through the doors, and the welcomed applause as they make their way through the receiving line.

Finally I wait a while whilst the meal is served, after which I the begin recording the Grand Wedding Speeches in Full.
