How to film your wedding weekend with a camcorder
Our wedding packages cover your whole wedding weekend. Here is how to make the most of every celebration, from welcome drinks to the morning after.
Plan the weekend like chapters
- Welcome drinks: wide, loose, arrivals and hugs.
- Rehearsal dinner: toasts and the stories that are too long for the reception.
- Wedding night: the main event.
- Morning after: slow brunch, tired faces, best candid of the weekend.
Assign a keeper each day
One person per day owns charging and starting the camera. The rest happens naturally once it is out on a table.
Where Guest Shot Films fits
Our Keepsake and Double Take packages cover your whole wedding weekend. Confirm your dates and return schedule when you book.
Keep the files organized
- Label cards by day.
- Back up every night if you are self-filming.
- Keep it short: a weekend recap longer than five minutes rarely gets rewatched.
