Most Important Shots in a Wedding Video

After everything has been planned for your big day, you can finally begin to focus on some of the finer details surrounding such a momentous occasion.

The wedding video is one of these, and with many a bride expressing concern about what the final footage will look like, we have compiled an easy list of some of the top moments that simply must be captured.

The wedding video needs to capture all aspects of the wedding, including the moments that we are more than likely going to forget in years to come.

One such example is the perfect start to the footage – the bridal party getting ready for the big day.

Whether this includes the bride having her make up perfected, the bridesmaids lining up for the first look at the bride once she is ready, or even a shot of the first toast of the day, capturing these special moments will drum up excitement for the video ahead, as the excitement of the bride and her closest friends will be evident.

No wedding video is complete without some stunning shots of the location that your big day is being held.

Why not show off the venue, particularly if you have decorated the site yourself.

If the weather is nice, some of the most picturesque shots can be gained. Think the church, the altar, or even the surrounding areas for some beautiful backdrops.

A definitive special moment, guaranteed to provide smiles and in some cases laughter in years to come is the shot of the groom awaiting his lovely bride at the altar.

Whether the image is of a beaming groom, patiently awaiting his love, or one of a slightly more nervous husband to be, the shot is simply one that cannot be missed.

Chronologically, next comes one of the most emotional moments in the entire wedding video.

A moment that many a bride imagines when picturing their dream day, the entrance into the church and the moment that the groom can finally see his future wife is often a sweet moment that the couple will never forget.

Top tip – handkerchiefs at the ready!

Once the vows have been read, the ceremony is finalised with the first kiss as husband and wife.

For many betrothed couples, this is a moment that has been months, or even sometimes years in the making, so getting it right is of vital importance.

Your wedding videographer will without a doubt want the perfect shot of your first kiss, and it will be an intimate moment between you and your other half that will live on forever.

In a similar stance to the shot of the first kiss, the first dance can be an incredibly emotional moment on your wedding day.

You and your spouse will finally get a moment where it is simply just the two of you, and many take this moment as a chance to pause and catch up with your new husband or wife during what can be an incredibly busy day.

The result is often beautiful to look at. And don’t worry if you are concerned about your stellar dancing skills! You can discuss with your wedding videographer how much is shown after the big day if you are nervous.

A lovely light-hearted moment, once again centred on the traditions of a wedding, is the grand cutting of the cake ceremony.

After your guests have enjoyed the food, and all that is left is to dance the night away, the wedding cake can be cut and the fun can really begin.

In addition, with many taking this moment as an opportunity to surprise their spouse with a face full of cake, the shot is one that can capture the light – and love – in your relationship.
