To us, cinematic wedding videography is the art of weaving together the intricate details and raw emotions of a couple's special day into a visually stunning and emotionally evocative narrative. As cinematic wedding filmmakers, we are often asked to define the term and explain how it applies to capturing the beauty and emotion of your special day. So here is our honest attempt to explain the artwork we are most proud of.
A genuine love story movie
At its core, a cinematic wedding filmmaker focuses on storytelling. It is about capturing the essence of a couple's unique love story and bringing it to life through visually striking scenery, emotive sound design, and a carefully crafted narrative structure.
As videographers, we draw inspiration from filmmaking, utilizing techniques such as establishing shots, sound design, and multi-camera coverage to create a viewing experience akin to watching a movie. We’re passionate about capturing the beauty of the setting, the raw emotions of the day, and the intimate moments shared between the couple and their loved ones.
The process of making a movie about you
Our approach as cinematic wedding filmmakers includes carefully planned storytelling. The key to our success is taking the time to go through our couple’s schedule in advance. We meticulously craft our approach based on how the event will unfold, ensuring a seamless portrayal of their most memorable moments. This helps us capture the essence of their love story through aerial shots, ambient sound, and speeches, using the couple's own words to narrate the film.
On the wedding day, we let things unfold naturally, seizing candid moments as they happen. We work with two cameras to record the same scene from different angles, adding depth and dimension to the final video. In post-production, we carefully edit the footage to create a seamless and polished final product that is both visually stunning and emotionally evocative.
In short, as a cinematic wedding filmmaker team, we apprehend the beauty, emotion, and unique love story of your special day and bring it to life through the art of visual storytelling and filmmaking.
