Capturing your engagement on film
08/04/2024 09:00 | Engagement
Videotaping your wedding party is of course a great memory, but why not start at the beginning of your wedding story? Videotaping your engagement - whether or not your fiancé knows it - is an original stepping stone to the real thing. We give you some do's & don'ts in advance!
Be prepared
Strictly speaking, you only have one chance to capture your engagement on film. It is an emotional, surprising moment between you and your beloved. A forced proposal after dozens of attempts can look a lot less romantic on camera. So there is no harm in rehearsing the proposal beforehand, without your partner but with everyone involved and your videographer. Still, it is a fine line between forced and top notch. The best moments will come naturally, so keep it au naturel as much as possible. Get to know your videographer a little better beforehand and be sure there is a 'click'. That way you can be sure everything will go well and avoid any unpleasant surprises. Also choose a time during the day to make sure there is enough light.
The right venue with pros in the business
As with any engagement, the location can make or break the moment. Choose a location that has personal value and looks great in pictures. No inspiration?
