How can we add seasonal touches to our wedding video?

Question

Accepted Answer

Your videographer should be able to capture the essence of the seasons, such as close-ups of falling autumn leaves, blooming flowers, rain, or a snowy landscape, giving your video a genuine seasonal feel. Choosing a venue that represents that season in its full glory is very important. If you're having a spring or summer wedding, choose a venue with beautiful gardens where your videographer can capture blooming flowers, buzzing bees, and butterflies. Having the ceremony and reception outdoors will also look stunning and immediately show the season. A summer wedding in the fields, with tall grass as a striking backdrop for the golden hour footage and campfires for when the sun goes down, creates an air of outdoor romance. In the autumn, the amazing colours of the changing foliage will create a beautiful backdrop for your portraits, so look for a venue that has plenty of trees. For winter weddings, as most of the day will be indoors, consider reflecting the season in your décor. Lots of warm lighting and candles create a romantic, cosy, yet luxurious feel throughout the day. Of course, if you are lucky and are in a location where the winters are white, have something warm to wear over your wedding attire and go outdoors for those couple shots. Have your ceremony earlier than you would have if your wedding were in the summer, as we lose the natural light so quickly and there will be less time to capture your portraits. Work with your videographer and photographer to figure out when the sun goes down and set an optimal time for your ceremony.
