As you can see from our videos, Shoot It Your Way delivers fun, personal wedding videos using an alternative approach to traditional videographers. So what are the advantages of having friends and family film your wedding?

Personal Connection

Friends and family know you well and have a personal connection to your relationship. This can result in more intimate and meaningful footage that captures the essence of your love story.

Cost Savings

Hiring a professional videographer can be expensive. Enlisting friends and family can help you save money while still documenting the important moments of your wedding.

Informal and Candid Moments

Friends and family may be more familiar with your personality and the dynamics of your relationships, leading to the capture of genuine, candid moments that a professional may not be able to achieve.

Shared Memories

Involving your loved ones in the filming process can create shared memories. It becomes a collaborative effort, and they may feel a deeper connection to the final product, knowing they contributed to preserving your special day.

Unique Perspectives

Different people have different perspectives, and having multiple cameras operated by friends and family can provide a variety of angles and viewpoints, giving you a more comprehensive representation of your wedding day.

Comfort Level

Some people may feel more comfortable being filmed by friends and family who they know and trust, rather than a hired professional. This can result in more relaxed and authentic moments on camera.

Unplanned Surprises

Sometimes, the unexpected can happen at weddings, and friends and family might be better positioned to capture these spontaneous and emotional moments since they are intimately familiar with the dynamics of the event.

To successfully shoot your wedding yourself, planning is important. Identify the guests with organisational and camera skills. Make sure you have people in place to capture the main moments. Also let your guests know about the cameras, perhaps put some info on the tables and encourage them to be used.
