There are few events in life as special and memorable as your wedding day, so it's important to capture every moment with video. Unlike photos, videos allow you to add sound and movement to your memories, so you can relive your happy moments again and again. It's also a great way to honor loved ones who can no longer be with you.

Having your wedding day captured on film is an investment, and with that in mind it's important to think about how you want your video to look and feel. Whether you're looking to create a romantic, funny or sentimental wedding video, there are many different ways you can go about it.

A popular option is a stop-motion video, which is when you take multiple photos in sequence and then manually move them to give the illusion of movie footage. This is a beautiful technique that can be used to capture details like the groom's shoes or your wedding rings.

Another way to make your wedding video stand out is by using creative editing techniques like slow motion and time lapse. This helps to add a unique touch and will ensure your wedding video looks both modern and classic. A more traditional wedding video is a highlight reel, which will incorporate all the main highlights of your day and set it to an energetic song. This is a great way to showcase all your special moments and is perfect for sharing online and in your thank you cards.

If you're looking to make your wedding video more personal and unique, consider adding a voice over or interview segments. Whether it's the father of the bride telling us a story about how they met or the best man explaining the groom's character, this can help to expand your wedding video and add a deeper emotional element.

You can also use a combination of cinema style and documentary to create something truly unique. This type of wedding video will incorporate sweeping artistic angles with clips of your guests (like the bridesmaids laughing as they get their hair done or the groom's dad's speech) to really bring the event to life for your family and friends.

Lastly, a fun idea is to have your wedding party or even all of your guests lip sync to a song that's special to you as a couple. This is a wonderful way to add a sense of humor to your video and will be sure to make anyone who watches smile!

Whatever you choose to do with your wedding video, remember that the key is to have fun and keep it personal. Your family and friends will love the final result, so don't be afraid to try something a little out of the ordinary! Just be sure to speak to your photographer about what you're hoping for and to be respectful of their capabilities. If they say they can only do a five minute highlights clip, be realistic about what you're capable of and stick to that.
