Must-have Moments to Capture in your Wedding

finding the

maybe a professional wedding video is not in
your budget, and you will handle your
wedding video production yourself.

| Now, the
issue is deciding what moments you need to
include in your beloved wedding video - and the
best ways you can
share the video with loved
ones later. Check out the must-have shots that
will make your wedding video the keepsake of a
lifetime, and our fun ideas for sharing those
moments with the special people in them.
The Shots: The Two of You
Although the basic must-have moments may seem
obvious, make sure your videographer knows you
want these wedding classics to preserve on
video:
- Close-up of groom anxiously awaiting his bride
- Bride at the end of the aisle, close-up and
full-length
- Here-comes-the-bride view, from the altar area
- Bride and groom exchanging vows
- Close-ups during the vows
- Bride and groom exchanging rings
- The kiss
- The happy couple walking up the aisle
- Bride and groom getting into their getaway car
- Bride and groom making their entrance at
reception as husband and wife
- Bride and groom's first dance
- Bride and groom cutting and feeding each other
cake
- Bride tossing the bouquet
- Groom tossing the garter
- Bride and groom driving off, happily ever
after
The Shots: Family
When it comes to family, nothing brings loved
ones together like a wedding. Honor those
nearest and dearest by including the following
moments in your video:
- Sentimental shot of bride with parents and
siblings
- Bride with mom helping with the dress or
veil/tiara
- Groom getting ready with Dad and pals
- Sentimental shot of groom with parents and
siblings
- Dad or parents walking the bride down the
aisle
- Dad giving the bride away
- Bride dancing with Dad
- Groom dancing with Mom
- Parents and grandparents dancing
The Shots: Wedding Party
They'll stand by you from start to finish, but
that doesn't always guarantee screen time. The
following are the shots you'll kick yourself
over if you don't get them on your
wedding video:
- Bride and bridesmaids getting dressed
- Bride with bridesmaids
- Bride with the maid/matron of honor
- Groom with all the groomsmen
- Groom with the best man
- Ushers escorting guests to seats
- Wedding party at the altar
- Flower girl walking down aisle
- Close-up of ring bearer
- Readers reading passages
- Singing performances
- Best man giving traditional toast
- Wedding party dancing at reception
The Shots: Guests
Unfortunately, you may not have as much time as
you'd like to spend with individuals on your
wedding day, and there's no way you can be
everywhere at once. These guest shots will
ensure you get to see all your favorite people
celebrating, as well as some moments you
couldn't witness first hand:
- Guests entering the wedding site
- Shot of all the guests during the ceremony
from the bride and groom's point of view
- Congratulatory shot of bride and groom with
guests outside of ceremony
- Shot of the venue as guests arrive at
reception
- Receiving line if applicable
- Friends and loved ones making toasts
- Guests enjoying dinner
- Guests dancing
- Kids dancing
