Weddings take months if not years of planning. But before you know it, the much-awaited weekend ends, leaving many emotions, drama and memories behind. Fortunately, wedding videographers are experts at capturing little and big moments for you to watch back and reminisce.

Here are 5 trends you can follow to create epic wedding videography to document your story.

1. Make Your Wedding Trailor

Everyone loves bite-sized sneak peeks. So, if you can’t wait for your wedding videographer to send you the full video of the event, you can ask them for a short wedding trailer with professionally edited highlights set to emotional or upbeat music. You can experience the best moments of your wedding, and even share the trailer on your social media or wedding website for those who weren’t able to attend. 

2. Capture the Non-Traditional Moments 

Wedding videography is more than just capturing the moment you say “I do” or documenting the dance moves you and your family bust out at the reception afterwards. Nowadays, many brides and grooms like to film every moment and leave time in their itinerary for non-traditional activities. Such as the first look with bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, siblings, etc. Other shots, such as close family members helping them get ready, can add personal and emotional touches. 

3. Your Personal Documentary

This idea is perfect for the bride and groom who wants a natural candid film and want to watch their day unfold as it happened. Unlike choreographed films, documentary-style wedding videography can capture the raw emotions and atmosphere, the genuine moments of joy, laughter and tears that made the day so special. This style is also less invasive, so your family members won’t be distracted by the cameras easily. Voiceovers from the couple, family, and friends add a deeply personal touch to wedding videos. In 2024, expect more videos to include personalized narratives that tell the couple’s love story in their own words.

4. Colour Grading

This is another trend that takes your wedding videos up a notch. Wedding videographers edit the saturation, contrast and colour balance to create a cohesive look and feel. It’s perfect for creating a specific mood or atmosphere, and draw in certain emotions. If you want multiple angles from different cameras, colour grading can help create consistent footage. 

Try the Super 8mm Filter

Within this trend, the super 8mm filter is quite popular. It creates a sense of timelessness and authenticity, adding a magical feel to it. However, this needs a special type of camera equipment. 

5. Aerial Video Shots

Drones are now quite popular in wedding videography. Like with any cinematography, a bird’s eye view of your location from a drone can help set the scene. It allows your videographers to capture moments that would never be able to do so from the ground. Another great idea for drones is to follow the wedding party, especially the bride, walking down the aisle. Making it slow in motion can create dreamy and ethereal effects, making the video more visually stunning and evocative.
