Here you have a list of moments and objectes that would better be shot. 1. Bride and bridesmaids dressing. 2. Exterior church. 3. Wedding party arriving at church. 4. The entire ceremony must be shot, from prior to bride's entrance to the couple's walk down the aisle at the end. 5. Any special touches in the ceremony, like a solo song, unity candle lighting, etc. 6. Families of bride and groom during the ceremony. 7. Wedding party leaving church. 8. Arriving at reception. 9. Bride and groom entering reception. 10. First dance. 11. Mom's dance with the groom. 12. Dad's dance with the bride. 13. Best man's toast. 14. Cake cutting. 15. Garter toss. 16. Guest book signings. 17. Special dances and ceremonies at the reception. 18. Interviews with guests. 19. Interview with the bride and groom. 20. Cutaways - cake, presents, decorations, flower arrangements, the DJ or band,etc. 21. Guests saying goodbye. Interviews at a wedding are a really funny thing. Ask a person shooting your wedding to approach to some guests and ask them to "say a few words to the happy couple".
Questions to interview the guests - What can you tell me about how Jake and July met? - What did you feel when you learned they were engaged? - What do you think Jake should do to keep July happy? - Where do think Jake and July will be ten years from now? - What do you think July loves most about Jake? Interviewing the bride and groom is also something imprescriptible of the wedding video. Very often bride and groom are asked individually the same questions.
Questions to interview the couple - How did you meet? - Tell me how the relationship deepened and grew. - When did you first know John was the "one"? - Tell me about how you (he) proposed? - What are your plans for the future?
Avoid shooting: # People eating; # Too many backs of heads; # People backlit by windows; # Drunks.
