synopsis by: Jerome J.

Here are 12 suggestions for the bride and groom to better their video coverage. These are helpful tips for the wedding couple to be aware of their role also aside from the expertise of a videographer.

  1. At your wedding rehearsal the couple should be aware of the camera’s location. Knowledge of this would make the couple avoid turning their backs to the camera.
  2. During the ceremony the couple must not their backs to the guests.  It is recommended that the bride and groom face each other so that everybody could see them.
  3. Some things should be understood. It should be followed strictly that either of them should avoid smoking or chewing gum during their wedding.
  4. Before the wedding the couple should make sure that your videographer and photographer should communicate with each other. They have to coordinate with each other.
  5. Groom’s microphone should be attached at his bow tie and never should he adjust his bow tie.
  6. Photographs .The couple should always look at your photographer, not the videographer. Not unless the videographer will ask you to look at him.
  7. Traditional moments. During traditional moments it is recommended that the videographer has to keep the lights turned up.  Ask the emcee ahead of time videographers should maintain low light to cover everything however during traditional moments like cutting of the cake, or the throwing of the bouquet it is recommended to bring the lights up.
  8. Outdoor weddings. On outdoor weddings better shots are taken under the shade not on direct sunlight, this applies to both the videographer and the wedding couple. Better if there would be a tent or canopy for the wedding couple, it would be best to take the shots there.
  9. Official videographer and photographer.  Have the DJ make an announcement for you. During traditional moments it is advised that the DJ announce the official photographer so that this will make the guests aware of the videographer and photographer who will be working their way around. This will discourage the guests to crowd in and take photos.
  10. Lighting is great. Don’t sit too close to the light so as to keep your natural skin tone. Do not sit or be too close to any light source, too much purple light will make your skin color purple.
  11. No plastic. Remove plastic that cover flowers or decorations or even your dress from the garment bag as well.
  12. Don’t turn your backside to the camera.  The most flattering view is from the front.
