Dream Wedding Video Tips

Different recording and editing styles will appeal to different people, so it is important to have an idea of the final product and be sure it is one that you are happy with. An experienced videographer should have plenty of references available. Don't be afraid to ask for them.

Lighting is an important element to consider when planning your video. Visit the locations for your day and check that there is sufficient lighting, or if candles, lamps or lanterns are available or can be introduced if required to enhance and add to the ambiance. Ask your videographer to visit the venues with you and take advise on whether they may need to bring professional lighting equipment. Remember the time of day and even time of year that you visit might not reflect the full circumstances that you will have on your wedding day.

Your appearance will be a high priority on the day and you may prefer to wear slightly heavier make up than usual to give a flawless, long lasting finish. Keep a mirror and key ingredients such as lip balm and pressed powder handy throughout the day, so you can check and touch up your make up if needed. Having your hair professionally styled will help to create a glamourous look and provide a reliable hairdo that won't come undone mid-day. Have a trial run of your hair and makeup before the day itself, to decide on the most flattering look for your day. Ask your bridesmaids to check throughout the day and let you know if anything needs fixing or adjusting.

Props can be useful for adding interest to the video and disguising any unwanted blemishes, such as a parasol to hide grey skies or a shawl or wrap to cover goosebumps! Holding a bouquet, delicate bag or champagne glass will give you something to do with your hands, which can otherwise look awkward, as well as adding variety to your video clips. A bubble machine or throwing of petals or confetti provides a perfect mixture of fun and romance to images of the two of you taking your first steps as a married couple. Remember to book a cake knife for cutting the cake, which makes for a great video opportunity. The movement in tossing the bridal bouquet adds further layers to your video and images of your friends fighting over the bouquet can make for entertaining out-takes!

Encourage your guests to record video messages with your videographer, which can result in the sharing of some precious and unexpected words. You probably won't see these being recorded, as they'll be captured throughout the day or evening, while you are busy with other guests and each other. These can make for a wonderful surprise, when your video arrives on your return from your honeymoon. However, make sure you give a clear brief as to what is acceptable when editing. Your whole family are likely to watch the final video and some may be offended or embarrassed by drunken messages or crude advice offered by your friends after one too many!

It's unlikely you'll need reminding, but remember to smile, relax and enjoy your big day! Feel confident and beautiful and make the most of this opportunity to look and feel your best, sharing your love for each other with all the people dearest to you. Make sure all of your family and friends are recorded, sharing in your special day and capturing all the joys and surprises it brings. It's a priceless treasure to have a video of your wedding day, being able to relive exchanging vows and stepping through the rituals together. It is money well spent to have a professional, successful final film, that you will enjoy throughout your years together. For most people, their wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so make the most of it and have a fabulous day.
