This is a list of "must get" shots for a wedding.
1. Bride and bridesmaids dressing (keep it G rated!) 2. Exterior church. 3. Wedding party arriving at church. 4. Continuous roll of ceremony, from prior to bride's entrance to the couple's walk down the aisle at the end. Ideally, use two cameras. Place one in the back third of the church. Start the other handheld, positioned on the bridesmaids' side of the aisle at the altar steps. Shoot the procession. After the bride arrives, move to a tripod placed behind the officiator and on the groom's side. This gives the best shot of the bride during the vows. This MUST be coordinated and cleared with the officiator, which is why it's necessary to attend the rehearsal. 5. Any special touches in the ceremony, like a solo song, unity candle lighting, etc. 6. Reaction shots of bride and groom's families. 7. Take video during the photographer's formal posed shots. 7a. If you can, stage a reenactment of the ring ceremony. Get a good close-up of rings being slipped onto fingers. 8. Wedding party leaving church. 9. Wedding party arriving at reception (this'll take some good planning and fast driving on your part!) 10. Bride and groom entering reception. 11. First dance. 12. Mom's dance with the groom. 13. Dad's dance with the bride. 14. Best man's toast. 15. Cake cutting. 16. Garter toss. 17. Guest book signings. 18. Special dances and ceremonies at the reception. 19. Interviews with guests. 20. Interview with the bride and groom. 21. Cutaways - cake, presents, decorations, flower arrangements, the DJ or band, etc. Get a copy of the wedding announcement, and anything like souvenir napkins, etc. for later copy stand work and scanning. 22. Guests saying goodbye.
DON'T shoot:
People eating.
Too many backs of heads.
People backlit by windows.
Interviews at a wedding are a real art. I just have the guests pass around the mike and ask them to "say a few words to the happy couple". Some good leading questions to ask might be:
- What can you tell me about how Bill and Sue met? - How did you feel when you learned they were engaged? - What do you think Bill should do to keep Sue happy? - Where do think Bill and Sue will be ten years from now? - What do you think Sue loves most about Bill?
When interviewing the bride and groom, I do it individually, rather than together. I ask each of them the same questions:
- How did you meet? - Tell me how the relationship deepened and grew. - When did you first know Tim was the "one"? - Tell me about how you (he) proposed? - What are your plans for the future?
I always remind my on-camera folks to answer any questions in a complete sentence. For example, if I ask "What's your name?", I don't want "Joe". I want "My name is Joe". That way, I can edit out my questions and the response is complete in itself
Then bring your footage to us and we'll do the rest!
