Wedding video is becoming more and more popular for couples wanting to preserve their big day on film. It is a very intimate way to share the story of your special day with your loved ones. Wedding videographers are able to capture the raw emotions and beauty of your special day that may have been missed by guests or even the couple themselves. With a little knowledge of what your videographer can do, you can find the perfect one to suit your needs and budget.
There are many different styles of wedding videos that can be made. Some of these are very short, such as an announcement video. Others are much longer, like a documentary style wedding video. Many videographers will incorporate elements of both styles in their final products. Choosing the right style for your wedding video will help ensure that it is exactly what you want.
A Cinematic Wedding Film
The cinematic style of wedding video is more about capturing the beauty and emotions of your special day, but it will also take some direction from the videographer. The cinematographer will often work with you ahead of time to understand your vision and style, and they will use different camera angles, movements and lenses to create a stunning visual experience. Cinematic style wedding videos can last anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes.
Journalistic Style Wedding Video
Journalistic style wedding videos are a more candid approach to wedding videography. The videographer will record the whole ceremony in a medium shot from a tripod, while also using a handheld camera to document the details of your wedding. This can include shots of the groom and bride getting ready, guests arriving to the ceremony, the ceremony itself, rings being exchanged, speeches and general party shots. Journalistic wedding videos can last in the region of 30 to 60 minutes.
Documentary Style Wedding Video
A documentary style wedding video will typically feature an interview with the soon to be married couple and some re-enactments of how they met, what they like to do together and their plans for the future. This type of wedding video can be very moving, and it is a great way to give your friends and family a glimpse into your relationship and why you are so perfect for each other.
