Highlight Wedding Films

More and more brides are setting the mood for their party with lighting. I’m often asked how different styles of lighting will affect their video. I also get asked if the camera lights will affect the mood they have created (let’s face it nobody wants to be dancing and have a spotlight in their eyes).

I’m hear to say, “Don’t worry Brides!” Most of today’s quality weddings videographers use cameras that require no extra or very little lighting (and when they do need extra light it is in cases were it is extremely dark). Most videographers have opted for cameras with changeable lenses that have amazing optics and are great in low-light. Footage captured in low light can even be brightened up in the editing room, too.

Someone told me this story about David Bailey (one of the best British photographers – worked for Vogue and famous for his work with the Beatles) He was visiting a photography school and was asked what type of light he preferred using. He responded “Available light”. The class responded, “You mean daylight”. He said “No, available light”. Confused the class asked if he meant tungsten, or flash. He repeated “No, available light!”. “Any bloody light that’s available, I’ll use it!!” – The moral of the story – you can take great photos (and video:) in any light if you know what you’re doing.

So no fears ladies, set the mood. Be romantic with the subtle glow of candles! Be modern and have fashionable colored lights compliment your color theme! Give your hall that vintage feel with glass chandeliers! Have torches and lanterns light the night of your outdoor wedding! Your wedding will still be captured beautifully!

Jen the bride in this trailer film is one of the brides that inspired me to write this blog. She was worried her “dim” lighting would be a problem for the video and that we would need extra lighting. It wasn’t and we didn’t!

Jason and Robin’s wedding ceremony was held at the Blessed Sacrament church and the reception was at the Inn on Broadway. The rain managed to hold off, so that we could get some pictures in between at Sunken Gardens in Rochester, NY. They were both a lot of fun, Robin looked beautiful and Jason had an awesome cane, very tycoony. Is that a word?

We hope you enjoy this.

We were first referred to Bobby and Brianna by Dee Marie Photography, and were really thankful that we were allowed to be a part of their wedding. Bobby and Brianna were very kind, had some of the most touching vows of the year, and had a great sense of humor. (See The Key Drop Video)

From Adrianne’s pre-wedding dancing, to their Rocky wedding entrance, to their amazing wedding cake, they were the kind of fun couple that wasn’t afraid to break tradition and mix things up a bit.

These vendors made Ryan and Adrianne’s wedding possible.
