wedding videography Tip #1: Wear comfortable shoes

You are going to walk like you would not believe as a wedding videographer on a wedding day. While going around and try to catch the best moments, you really do need a pair of shoes that relieve you from the pains.

wedding videography Tip #2: Change your lenses for different expressions

Once you notice that you are not getting the bride and groom to relax and interact with each other when you are taking pictures, the best thing you could do is to switch to a longer lens (like 200mm) and scoot way back. The couple would naturally begin to interact with each other and you are thus able to to get the shot because you are out of their way. This is can be a good way to start a wedding shoot of the couple. When start shooting far away, the couple can feel like it is just them and thus more relaxing and get used to the camera from a distance.

wedding videography Tip #3: Get the phone no. and the names!

When you are going to meet your bride to get the shoot list, you should first ask the name and cell phone number of the best man and the maid of honor. Because they are a part of the planning who are important to be called by their first name during the event.
Followings are some wedding videography tips collected from the internet.

wedding videography Tip #4: Yes! Wedding dresses are white.

Yes! It’s true and it has been true for over 150 years. For the reason that keeping the dress to stay white instead of a dull gray, you should probably need to dial your camera in positive exposure compensation. With the light meter in your camera, you will see the white dress and it’s bright, however you are wrong! it isn’t bright–it’s just white! It is because that the camera compensate for the large “bright” spot in the photo and tends the exposure of the dress way too dark. You can fix this problem with positive exposure compensation in a jiffy.

wedding videographyy Tip #5: To rent a second camera body for insurance

It is very upset when it occurs a critical equipment failure while shooting wedding videography. I have personally experienced of the moment that horror of equipment failure while shooting a high-dollar wedding. It is a sickening to see the error message “ERR:99” on the camera screen. How to avoid this happen? It is very easy that you just go and rent a second camera body for insurance. It is very cheap for renting a camera body but the benefit for the wedding videography is very huge.

wedding videography Tip #6: To rent different lens for speed!

As insurance, you can not only have two camera bodies, but also different lens for a wedding against failure. By this way, you can very easy to switch from telephoto to standard zoom while you moving around in the wedding party. It is hard to go back to shooting by just ONE body or len once you’ve tried it. Fortunately, the same as renting a second camera body, you can rent the lens with a cheap price.
