Wedding planning is a full time job that can be incredibly overwhelming. Between the florists showing you five different rose options and the caterers asking what macaroon flavor you want, it’s easy to get caught up in decision making for your big day. One of the most important decisions to make is what kind of video you want to capture your day on. A wedding video will allow you to relive your favorite memories and share them with your friends and family. Whether you’re looking for something edgy and artistic or a more traditional style there is an option out there for everyone.

Getting married is one of the most important days of your life and you deserve to have it documented in all its glory. From the tears during your ceremony to your first dance, you’ll always have that special day to look back on with joy. A wedding film will be a keepsake to remember your favorite moments and the people who made you feel so loved and supported along the way.

When thinking about what kind of wedding video you want, consider the types of movies you love to watch. Whether you’re a sucker for a good rom-com or can’t get enough twisty docu-dramas, your wedding video should reflect your unique personality and style.

Cinematic wedding films are perfect for couples that are looking for a more dramatic approach to their big day. They often include a mixture of sweeping artistic angles and candid shots that will give your audience the sense of actually being at your wedding. They’ll also likely include music and voiceovers to add emotion and feeling to your footage.

A highlight reel is a shorter version of your full wedding video that is usually shared during your reception as a recap of all the best highlights from your day. It will typically include footage from the preparations, ceremony and reception and will be set to an upbeat and fun song.

The more creative type of wedding video is the one that tells your wedding story in a creative and unique way. It’ll feature a blend of candid and posed shots with some b-roll added in for more visual variety. Some of these videos may even be done in a stop-motion technique that involves stopping the footage, manually moving objects and then starting to film again.

Another fun way to create a unique wedding video is by using your guests’ smartphones. Give each of your bridal party and family members a mobile phone to take a photo or video during the day and then compile them into a fun montage. You can also ask guests to send in their best wishes or words of wisdom for you as a couple and include those clips in the video. You can even turn these wedding videos into a fun digital thank-you card to send to your loved ones.
