A good wedding film doesn't need staging. It needs a clear plan of the day and a little free time between its parts.
A plan of the day matters more than a moodboard
The most useful thing to do in advance is to write the day down hour by hour: getting ready, travel, ceremony, walk, reception, first dance. Even a rough plan helps the camera operator be in the right place on time.
What affects the image most
Light and time. Getting ready by a large window looks better than in a dark room with ceiling lights. Fifteen minutes between parts of the day give calm portraits instead of rushed ones.
- 10–15 spare minutes between parts of the day
- A getting-ready room with a window
- Contacts of the venue, coordinator and photographer in advance
