These days, you don't need a full production team to capture amazing video content at a wedding. Chances are, you're packing a smartphone somewhere in your wedding attire, and that alone has the tools to make you the Spielberg of the day. Using tools like Cameo, you can shoot, edit, and share incredible content that will be cherished by all. Here are a few quick tips for how to make the best wedding videos on your smartphone.
1. Get as many close-ups of the couple as possible. It's their day and that's what people want to see. Get those shots! 2. The best wedding videos capture the entire story -- from pre-ceremony to ceremony, to reception, to the tail end.
3. Get a video of the wedding party and as well as the close family of the couple.
4. Snag an aisle seat. You don't want to be sandwiched between friends and stuck behind the basketball player.
5. You definitely want to get shots of the bride walking down the aisle, and that first kiss, but don't overload your final video with those shots. Remember it's the full story that makes for the most compelling videos 6. Get the couple dancing, grandma and grandpa dancing, the cute niece on the dance floor...dancing shots are never not fun
7. The cutting of the cake can be a really great transition shot from the ceremony to the party.
8. More dancing!
9. End your edited video with high-energy shots that really encapsulate how fun the wedding was. No one wants to see your hungover brunch the next morning.
10. Don't be afraid to get in the mix and really capture the shot. Sometimes you need to climb on shoulders or navigate wild dancers, but the very best videos that people will truly cherish are those that capture the magical moments up-close and personal.
