If you are having
speeches it is a great idea to have them in a
designated area like a podium or the end of the
Bridal table. This is important so all your guests
should be able to see you but it also helps us
capture them better.
There are a few other things to think about for the video at your reception such as:
There are a few other things to think about for the video at your reception such as:
- Tall table centre pieces, they can be very hard to film around.
- Darkly lit with candles or low light can be very tricky to film in to get great quality shots, our cameras can handle very low light but there is some quality loss if it is too dark.
- Inform us of the running sheet and also tell your MC that we need to know everything that is happening and to make sure we are ready to film when things are about to happen.
- Make sure we are catered for and seated in the reception centre. Otherwise the risk of us missing things increases a lot. Sadly we have missed some important events at weddings because we were seated away from the guests and weren't told by anyone that things were about to happen ahead of schedule.
- Have your reception finish at 11 or 11:30pm. Why you ask? We have been to more weddings than most people will go to in their lifetime so why do we say have your wedding finish then? The few biggest reasons is so many people start to leave once 10:30 ticks over so you want to make sure you still have people left before you do. It starts to get messy once it gets later every family has those people that don't know when to stop drinking and we have seen some interesting things happen as it gets later and later, this isn't something you usually want to remember that happened at your wedding. And the biggest one is you get to the wedding night quicker which for some couples is a very special time so why stick around at the reception when you could be doing what newly weds do best!!
