When it comes to capturing your love story on camera, authenticity is key. Video has the unique ability to capture those subtle, authentic moments that lie between the frames of photos. This is the real magic! That’s what makes each wedding video unique. But, we understand that being in the spotlight, especially on your wedding day, can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. That’s why we’ve curated a guide to help you be your true selves and embrace the chaos of your special day.
Leading up to your wedding
- In the days leading up to your wedding, taking care of yourself is absolutely vital. And that includes eating healthy. Now, we get it – we love our share of junk food just as much as anyone else. After all, can anything make us feel better than a late-night pint of ice cream? Probably not. But, as your big day approaches, sometimes we’ve got to make a few heroic sacrifices in the name of feeling your absolute best.
- Prioritize getting enough rest. Sleep is the often underestimated hero of our pre-wedding checklist. In a world where “hustle culture” often glorifies sleepless nights and racing against the clock, let us set the record straight – you’re not lazy; you’re simply embracing your inner human.
- You see, that thing called “beauty sleep” isn’t a myth, it’s a magic potion for both your sanity and your wedding glow-up. A full night’s rest is like a fairy godmother’s spell. So, ignore those keyboard warriors who think they can outdo a good night’s sleep with a cup of coffee and a motivational quote. When it comes to pre-wedding prep, rest is your secret weapon. Plus, you don’t want to be caught dozing off during the ceremony, do you? That would make for an unforgettable moment, but not in the way you envisioned.
- HYDRATE. HYDRATE. HYDRATE. We wrote it three times so you know we’re serious. Drink more water, folks! While you’re dealing with all things wedding-related, water is the real MVP behind the scenes, making sure your body functions at optimal wedding-planning capacity. Plus, imagine the satisfaction of knowing that you’re fully hydrated and ready to party like there’s no tomorrow!
- In the whirlwind of preparations, mindfulness meditation keeps you centered and present. It isn’t about contorting into impossible pretzel shapes (unless that’s your thing). It’s about finding your center, embracing the chaos, and tackling your wedding preparations with a clear mind, focused and grounded. So, go ahead, take a moment for yourself. Light some scented candles, embrace the zen, and envision yourself walking down the aisle with all the grace and composure of a star.
When your big day finally arrives, you’ll thank your past self for the self-care. And who knows, maybe there’ll be a post-wedding junk food feast waiting for you as your reward – you deserve it!
The Wedding Day: A Moment Alone
Your wedding day – it’s a whirlwind of emotions, and trust us, we know it’s like trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope. But, when it comes to capturing those magical moments on camera, we’re all about that “in the moment” power.
You see, video has this incredible ability to transport you back to the exact feelings and emotions you experienced on your big day. It’s like a time machine for your heart. And the secret sauce for making those video memories truly authentic? Being in the moment.
Before we work our camera wizardry, we’ve got a little trick up our sleeves: we encourage you to steal a moment together. Alone. Just you and your partner, basking in the wedding day glow. This moment isn’t just for quiet contemplation (although that’s awesome too); it’s a reminder of why you even decided to go through all the craziness of planning this day in the first place.
Being in the moment is the secret to unlocking that genuine, authentic magic on camera. So, let’s embrace it, soak it all in, and create memories that will keep you smiling every time you hit that play button.
Authentic Poses: Gentle Guidance
When the time comes for those “picture-perfect poses,” you might expect us to turn into camera-wielding drill sergeants, barking orders like, “Smile! Look left! Now look right!” But guess what? That ruins the fun for everyone. We’re more like a friendly GPS, guiding you with warmth and a pinch of humor – no drill sergeant vibes here!
Our mantra is all about gentle guidance, not turning you into lifeless mannequins. We never want you to feel awkward or uncomfortable. Instead, we’re all about helping you shine in your truest, most authentic selves.
Motion is our muse, and it’s the secret to capturing those candid moments that make your video pop. So, we’ll have you twirling, strolling, and dancing like nobody’s watching (except us, with our trusty cameras).
Why all this hustle and bustle? Well, it’s because video is all about capturing life in motion. Those spontaneous smiles, impromptu giggles, and the way you look into each other’s eyes when you think no one’s watching – that’s what we’re after. So, don’t worry; we’ve got your back when it comes to looking effortlessly authentic.
Forget About the Cameras
We get it, it’s your wedding day, not a Hollywood premiere, and yet it feels like the paparazzi are lurking around every corner. But fret not, we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeve to help you focus on the celebration, not the cameras.
- Think of your wedding day as your own little love bubble – a place where it’s just you and your partner. Pretend the world outside is a quirky rom-com, and you’re the stars. Get lost in each other, and let the rest of the world turn into charming extras.
- The folks behind the cameras aren’t your run-of-the-mill paparazzi; they’re your trusty teammates. Interact with them and share a joke or two. When you’re pals with the videographers and photographers, it’s easier to feel at ease.
- Consider those camera clicks and whirs as mere background noise. It’s like attending a lively concert where the chatter adds to the ambiance. Over time, you’ll find that they’re part of the soundtrack of your day.
- When you feel the camera-conscious jitters, take a moment to inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Relax your shoulders, focus on the love in the air, and release any camera-related worries.
- Public Displays of Affection. Don’t forget, this a wedding. Hold hands, sneak in a kiss, and share those sweet, goofy glances. Not only do these moments make for fantastic photos, but they also keep you grounded in your love bubble.
Remember, your wedding is all about celebrating your love, and the cameras are just there to capture the magic. So go ahead, dance, laugh, and love like there’s no tomorrow, and let the cameras try to keep up with your awesomeness!
