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
- Tight Reaction Shot

Wedding Videography: Capturing Memories to Last a Lifetime

Wedding videography is the art of capturing the emotions, the laughter, and the love shared between two people on their wedding day. It is not just about filming the event, but about creating a cinematic masterpiece that tells a couple's unique love story. From the pre-ceremony preparations to the romantic exchange of vows, from the silly dance moves to the heartfelt speeches, a wedding video covers every moment that matters. A well-crafted wedding video not only brings back the cherished memories of the big day but also serves as a timeless keepsake that couples can share with their loved ones for years to come. At Gibby Visuals, we understand the importance of capturing these special moments and strive to create personalized wedding films that are both beautiful and authentic.
