Photobooth
Capturing the fun moments is incomplete without having the presence of a photo booth at your wedding. They add immense fun to the event. From giving the guests a chance to do something fun to capture awesome pictures of the guest, they add intrigue besides dance and chat. You can enjoy the awesome pictures of guests clicked at the photo booth later.
Do you what’s the best part? Photo booths aren’t as expensive as you think. And are no wonder better than the table pictures. Include backdrops, props and themed accessories to the photo booth reflecting the theme of your wedding. There is no denying the fact that many times they offer the perfect setup to capture candid moments by the guests.
Video guestbook
Video guestbooks are one of the stellar ways to capture fun, laughter, and light-hearted moments. The couple only needs to create an inviting web page with pre-written instructions for the guest to follow.
Now, send this link to all the guests. Or, simply include your URL at the tabletops or wedding venue so that the guests can simply scan it and record their heartfelt messages. They don’t need to make an account. Simply clicking “Tap to record” would be enough. Videos are directly uploaded to your link. You can see the messages of wisdom how everyone enjoyed your wedding day and what pieces of wisdom they have in store for you.
Moments of spontaneity
Sometimes, couples forget to enjoy their day due to hectic events. Remember that it’s your day, and you can’t let go of it without having the time of your life. A photographer can instruct you on different poses, but it is you who have to add the joy, candidness and spontaneity to your photos. The more comfortable you are posing for the photos, the better the images will turn out to be.
I know it is stressful to have a smile and positive attitude the whole day but it is only for you. So, the more exciting you are, the better your natural expressions turn out to be. Let yourself pose in multiple ways that make you and your partner laugh. These candid moments are the ones that add depth to your wedding story.
Tears or hugs – Don’t forget to capture them
What is the best wedding video? Capturing not only the smiles but also the tears, hugs and emotions that are least expected and highlighting them with the power of storytelling. Look for the tears of joy. You cannot deny that some sad tears also make a great part of the footage, but focus on the happy tears more. And what about hugs? Ask the videographer to capture them to add charm to your video.
No video is complete or great without having spice or drama in it. Keep an eye on certain paths during the ceremony. For instance – you don’t want to miss out on an impromptu speech given by any of the guests or parents of the bride or groom. It is something that is worth highlighting, as speeches don’t make a part of most ceremonies. Lastly, don’t forget that it’s not just about filming the people and what they do, but also about how they feel while posing for the camera. It helps you bring their raw emotions for top-notch storytelling.
Personalization
What sets your wedding video apart from others? The touch of personalization. Ask the guests in the wedding whether they would like to be interviewed after the event. It paves the path for you to work on some amazing video content. Showcasing the actions of your guests through interview add authenticity to documenting the wedding day.
For instance – choose any person at random. It could be from the guests or anyone working at the venue, like a DJ or a caterer. Ask them open-ended questions like what is your favorite food? It makes people comfortable in expressing themselves and giving great answers. You can then use these pieces of video footage during the editing process. The couple will be surprised with this additional video content after their wedding video has finally been made.
Conclusion
Capturing the moments of your wedding doesn’t only mean clicking photos or shooting videos but also preserving the moments of love that you will cherish your entire life. So, keep the above things in mind while capturing the fun, laugh, celebrate, and dance your heart out because these are going to be the moments you will cherish forever.
