Outdoor Portrait Video
1x camera / 60 fps / no external audio
50/50 candid & directed shots.
Have fun with directing but be professional, respectful and efficient with time.
Communicate with the photographer about sharing the center vantage point.
Couple first look:
Her approach over the shoulder, His reaction is top priority, capture them kissing.
From behind:
Get a shot following them as they walk and get one staying still while they walk away. I always direct them to, “Pause and kiss.”
Couple side-by-side:
“Stand side-by-side, look at eachother, hold hands, whisper something funny into her ear.”
Veil:
Get under the veil, have a bridal party member throw the veil and run, veil in the foreground.
Dance:
“Practice your first dance”. Get mediums and wides of them practicing.
Bridal party:
“Everybody compliment the bride/groom. Now, dance hard at the bride (Make it PG-13)! Cheer while the couple kisses.”
