Capturing the worst and even brutal moments
The fight of the bride or groom with one of the guests, torrential rain with thunder and strong wind, involuntary drunkenness, the reaction of the godparents or the couple’s parents when they are declared husband and wife. The speech of the groom’s father – imagine that he called the bride by the wrong name. Such cracks also occur. You can spend £ 100, 000 and more, but what all your relatives will see in your wedding video is how the bride’s mother fainted in the restaurant.
All this would be a real disaster even for the most strictly and perfectly organized wedding. Even the little white and unexpected guests make the day truly magical and unforgettable. After all, with the wedding, the couple starts their life together. It is right then to remember both the traditional and the comic moments of your wedding celebration.
Shooting a short wedding film
No one but you as a family would want to watch your wedding film from the beginning.

To be as easy as possible in this challenge, it’s time to get acquainted with the most popular trends used in shooting wedding video in the past 2023 videos with a simple duration of up to 5-6 minutes. Each scene of the event is displayed quickly as a moment, then moves forward. If you prefer, you can ask your wedding videographer to make a clumsy and boring wedding film from one long few hours, one that will recreate the most interesting and memorable moments, in just a few minutes. However, nothing can tell the story of your wedding day, better than a wedding film.
Retro wedding video, but with a modern flavour
Not surprisingly, the style of wedding video recording has changed many times in recent years. In 2020, the tradition of shooting and editing wedding videos has changed dramatically and even unrecognizable. The strongest trend in 2020 was for the wedding video to be shot entirely as an independent film. Retro wedding video, but with a modern flavour is the completion of the trend for the wedding videographer to shoot black-and-white videos. Something that in the 21st century for the couple would seem boring. You can always have a video of your wedding, shot in its full color range, but sometimes it’s good to make the day look old-fashioned and quite different. An interesting way to recreate the best moments of your wedding day, which mean a lot to the couple.
Wedding in journalistic style
In 2020, the tendency for some couples to have their wedding video in a “documentary” style became more and more established. As for the journalistic style – this is actually just capturing the events as they happen. A videographer who makes a journalistic-style video will actually capture the events of the day as they actually happen. This is how a video-like video actually turns out. Some couples believe that this “documentary” style of editing and shooting creates videos that are less “slimy”. But you will still have beauty and elegance.
Freezing
A few wedding shots with elements of “freezing” is not such a bad idea. This would cost you a lot of lost time and nerves to make the guests “freeze” at least for a moment. Sometimes, however, the result is not what you actually expected. It would be a difficult task for your wedding videographer to show all your guests together. Then you can choose moments for a wedding video with the bride, groom, godparents, parents and your closest friends.
Drone video recording
The idea of a drone hanging in the air over your wedding ceremony, especially when it is outdoors, would be, to put it mildly, an unconventional idea. However, drones that are more for play show great results. The drones can capture beautiful shots of your wedding ceremony, which would be difficult and even impossible for a wedding videographer to make from the ground. This is not just about the shots in which the guests of your ceremony are gathered in the middle of a picturesque garden part of a huge castle.
3D montage in wedding cinematography
Of all the existing visual effects, without a doubt, 3D captures the best wedding memories. For this reason, 3D montage wedding cinematography has become a leading trend in wedding video in 2020. If you like this unusual idea, you can include a 3D montage in your wedding video and even in your wedding photos. If you want, you can pre-play part of your wedding day or engagement party and experimentally add 3D montage to the preliminary scenes.
Editing the video the same day
This is not such a new trend, but it is still gaining popularity. Editing takes place at a place where your videographer has already collected the most interesting and comical shots before and during your wedding party. In the evening, when your wedding party is in full swing and your guests are eating steadily at the wedding buffet, it’s time to sit down as a couple with the other guests and watch the most forgotten and comical moments of the past wedding day. Editing on the same day is a great pleasure and shows the “great moments”, but it can be expensive and not affordable for everyone because it is done by at least three videographers.
Receive the film the same day
Why wait for your wedding film for days, if not weeks? The tendency for the newlyweds to receive their wedding shots, edited on the same day, is becoming more and more popular. This trend is especially popular because the guests and the newlyweds will be able to experience everything that happened earlier in the day. Your videographer will capture the event, make a quick editing of the video and then your guests will be able to enjoy the best of the day.
