How to Plan a Bespoke Wedding Video
With advances in film technology over the years, we’ve witnessed the demise of poor quality amateur footage and a surge in Oscar-worthy wedding videos, complete with crystal clear sound and 4k ultra-HD picture. However, this tech is worthless without a love story. So, it’s our job at Full Focus Weddings to capture the love, tears and laughter of your special day to create a high-quality video which is treasured for years to come. We work closely with couples to plan the key moments of the video and to create something completely bespoke to them.
More clients are asking us for something a little bit different to the norm, so we’ve highlighted ways we can make you the most extraordinary, bespoke wedding video:
Your story
Start from the beginning – did you meet on holiday? Or are you two childhood sweethearts from school? Include snippets of your history within your video to add substance to the story – these could include photos from when you first met or keepsakes from your first date. If you have children, a lovely touch is to include them within your video – these could be pregnancy photos or an interview with your children, answering questions about their mummy and daddy.
Do a recce
You’ve probably visited your wedding venue more than once in the lead up to the wedding but have you considered the location as a backdrop for your wedding video? Our camera technicians are highly experienced working on location but if there’s a particular landmark like a beautiful oak tree, a grand staircase or coloured wall you love then we’ll happily work with you to capture the frames with your chosen details to make it all the more personal.
Film and photo montage
Has your photographer captured a perfect moment? We’ll include any still shots from the day within your video. The dynamic of video and stills in harmony add your touch of personality and ensures you have all your favourite shots and frames in one perfect video.
Bloopers – oops!
Good humoured couples love to watch outtakes from the wedding, whether it’s the best man fluffing his speech or an inebriated dance floor mishap, we can add it to your video to keep the laughs coming.
Tease your guests with a wedding trailer
We love editing the more heart-felt and humorous moments of your wedding day into a cinematic trailer, ideal to post on your Facebook page or to email family overseas. All our wedding trailers are completely unique and are included in all our wedding packages so can be enjoyed by all couples who choose Full Focus Wedding services. Here is an example of one of our bespoke wedding trailers:
