What makes a beautiful wedding video? | Your own wedding movie

The day has finally come! The work, time, money, and effort you’ve put into creating your perfect wedding day is about to finally pay off. One of the best ways to capture all the incredible memories of this day is to have a stunning video.

Something that you can look back on years later and reminisce with your forever partner. But what do you need to do to be ready for your wedding video? 

Broadside Visuals will show you how beautiful wedding video ideas can be created and what you can do to best prepare yourself for it.

Find Wedding Videos that Inspire You

Creating a mood board to model your wedding photographs after is an easy way to communicate to your wedding photographer how you want your special day to be captured. Why not try something similar with wedding videos? 

Using sources like Instagram, Tik Tok, and even Pinterest are great places to start. One key thing to remember is that a mood board is not a shot list. A shot list is a detailed number of what kind of photos or video shots you want included. A mood board only for wedding videos only needs to be 3-5 examples. Remember you want inspiration not a laundry list.

Whether you prefer a more moody tone or classic romantic, finding others who have similar styles is a great way to save yourself time and headache when it comes to preparing for your wedding video. Look for wedding galleries pictures and videos that you can picture yourself being in for your special day. 

Match your style to a Wedding Videographer

Once you have established your style, it’s time to find someone who can help make your dream a reality. There are many options out there to choose from when it comes to wedding videographers. 

Reviewing products and pricing of wedding videographers is a great place to start to see if their style matches what you are looking for. Some videographers have a variety of packages and options to choose from, others have just a few. Compare your options and then select what is best for you. 

Our wedding photography and videography services cater to those wedding couples who have a vision for their special day, or those who need a little guidance in helping craft their dream wedding day video memories. Broadside Visuals understands the nuances of every bride and groom's special day and the elegance that is apart of it. Check out some of our wedding videos to learn more about how Broadside Visuals can inspire your wedding day. 

Minimize photo and video shoot locations at your venue

Your venue is the unique place you choose to have your wedding. Maximizing the number of locations to get as many beautiful shots and footage as possible can be tempting on your big day. While every venue is different, you only have so much time for videos and pictures in between cocktail hours and dinner. 

Plan out a few parts of the venue where you can get the best angles and scenery for your video and focus on those.That way you don’t have to worry about moving from place to place and can relax and focus on what really matters, creating beautiful memories on your wedding day. 

Trusting your wedding videographer to capture the elegance of every location you have on your wedding day will allow you to rest easy and know that you are taken care of. 

Schedule your Wedding Video for when the light will be best

One simple way to maximize the amazing shots your wedding videographer can take is to use the daytime light to your advantage. Depending on what time you choose to have your wedding, golden hour or sunset can be great choices for some breathtaking shots. It is amazing how choosing the right time to have your wedding video footage taken can impact the overall final memories you will have for a lifetime. 

60 minutes before sunset can be a great time to start taking pictures and shooting footage. Having your video captured later in the day is also helpful when it comes to the temperature outside. If you are getting married in the summertime, early afternoon may not be the best time to take pictures since it can be incredibly hot depending on your location. 

Ask Questions and Nail Down Specifics

You have so much to look forward to and think of for your special day! Once you’ve learned about what goes into creating and being ready for a wedding video, talk to your videographer. Ask all the questions you need and make sure you both are on the same page for your big day. 

Figuring out the logistics of each location for shooting footage before your wedding day is key. Knowing the time allotted to each location and anything you might need in between is useful as well. Cover all the bases and you won’t have to worry come the special day when you’ll create those memorable moments.

Once you’ve accomplished this, relax, smile, and look forward to the wonderful wedding video you’ll have forever!
