PREP TIME
A lot of emotional moments happen during this time. First, before the foundation, makeup, and hair is complete. It’s a great time too for us to capture video of any details, such as: the dress, invitations, sentimental accessories, etc.
When time allows, it’s fun to ask family/friends questions on camera. EX: “Advice for the couple?”
FIRST LOOKS
First looks with parents, fiancé, siblings, etc are so fun! These are amazing moments that are usually quiet and emotional.
- Put a LAV Mic on the Fiancé for this moment.
- Wide Shot for Safety
