Planning a wedding day is no small feat, and if you’ve hired both a photographer (hey, that’s us!) and a videographer, teamwork is key to capturing every dreamy detail. Working with a videographer on your wedding day can make your memories even more unforgettable, but it requires a little planning and communication. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Here’s how we make it work.
Who Takes the Lead?
Before the cameras start rolling, one of the first decisions is figuring out who’s calling the shots—literally. Typically, the photographer takes the lead, as we’re often orchestrating the timeline and wrangling everyone into place. However, there are times when the videographer’s needs might take precedence, like during those sweeping cinematic shots. Regardless of who’s in charge, we’ll work together to ensure a seamless day. Trust us, it’s all about the partnership…not a photo vs. video smackdown!
Early Morning Check-In
Communication is our secret weapon. First thing in the morning, we’ll connect with your videographer to chat about the game plan. Are they hoping to grab candid moments of the bridal party or close-ups during the ceremony? We’ll keep checking in throughout the day to make sure everyone’s getting what they need. Pro tip: the more we’re in sync, the fewer interruptions you’ll have. After all, this is your day—not a production set.
Double Takes (For the Win!)
Yes, you may need to kiss your partner again or laugh at the same joke twice (fake it till you make it, right?). Why? Because sometimes, photos require one angle, while video demands another. Don’t worry; we’ll make it fun and keep things moving so you don’t feel like a broken record. Think of it as a chance to enjoy those swoon-worthy moments a little longer.
Adding Movement When Working with a Videographer
While photography freezes time, videography captures the magic in motion. That’s why we’ll incorporate plenty of movement-based poses and prompts. From twirling under fairy lights to stealing kisses while walking hand-in-hand, these moments make for dynamic videos and gorgeous, emotion-packed photos. Cincinnati couples love these candid-style shots—they’re as fun to create as they are to look back on.
Working with a Videographer: Wrapping It All Up
At the end of the day, working with a videographer on your wedding day means more opportunities to relive your love story. With proper communication, a flexible mindset, and a shared goal of making your day amazing, we’ll create memories you’ll cherish forever. Bonus: You’ll have both stunning photos and a killer highlight reel to show off at every family gathering.
