Exert from my wedding guide

WEDDINg videography by the year

When you book me for your wedding, you’ll receive an exclusive, thoughtfully crafted wedding guide designed to help you create the celebration of your dreams. This guide includes this list of WEDDING THROUGH THE YEARS, where I share the trends and evolution of wedding videography.

2019 - shorter videos

When I entered the wedding industry in 2014, the videography landscape was quite traditional, dominated by longform videos that lacked the dynamic editing needed to tell a compelling story. It wasn’t until I fully committed to wedding photography and videography that I shifted towards creating shorter, more impactful storytelling pieces. This approach involved tightly edited videos capturing the essence of the entire wedding day within a shorter timeframe.

2020 - slow motion

Editing videos entirely in slow motion allowed for a dramatic impact, heightening the emotional experience for viewers. Today, while I still integrate slow-motion sequences into my videos, it’s not as dominant. Instead, I aim for a polished, timeless look that combines real-time footage with slow-motion moments to enhance the narrative naturally. This blend of techniques has become a prevalent trend in modern wedding videography, adding depth and a sense of movement to each captured moment.

2021 - FIRST LOOKS + SOUND OVERLAY

Initially, luxe and extravagant weddings dominated, but during this time, the trend of intimate, emotionally rich weddings emerged, becoming a staple in wedding schedules. While traditional wedding schedules remain relevant, first looks have become a must-capture moment in my approach, reflecting a blend of the past and present in wedding photography. This sound approach continues to influence the weddings I create and capture today.

2020 - drone

The accessibility of drones during the COVID-19 pandemic opened up new creative possibilities for wedding videographers. It allowed them to incorporate stunning aerial shots into the wedding day footage, adding a unique and cinematic perspective to the celebration. However, managing these shots requires careful planning, considering factors like weather conditions and obtaining the necessary permissions for flying. While I can’t always guarantee that drone footage will be feasible on a wedding day, I don’t charge extra for this. It’s a valuable artistic addition that I love to include whenever possible, enhancing the overall visual storytelling of the event.

2023 - real moments

Real-time video moments are here to stay, especially as couples seek a more authentic and genuine representation of their wedding day. After a period of polished, highly edited videos, there’s a clear shift towards capturing raw, unfiltered moments that truly reflect the emotions and interactions of the day. I love integrating real-time footage with slow-motion moments to create a dynamic and compelling storytelling piece. This blend allows me to highlight the beauty and spontaneity of the day while still weaving in those polished, cinematic elements that add depth. Ultimately, people crave a true voice and image in their wedding videos, and this approach satisfies that desire by preserving the genuine, heartfelt moments that define their special day.
