The Wedding Vlog! | Behind the Scenes Wedding Videography with Aspire Imagery

hello everybody and thank you for checking out this video my name is brett with aspire imagery and i'm so glad you're checking out this video today we are shooting a beautiful wedding in lexington kentucky at talon winery in this video i'm going to walk you through exactly what my process is for how i shoot a wedding show you some of the behind the scenes footage as well as just give you an idea of what a video at aspire imagery will look like so without further ado let's get started before we can get to the fun part of any wedding day shooting the wedding we have to do some driving for me i'm based in cincinnati ohio but i drive all the way as far as columbus ohio lexington kentucky or louisville kentucky i love those areas and i love getting to know my clients from those areas so today i'm driving to thailand winery in lexington kentucky so i've got about two hours ahead of me so i will see you there [Music] now the first thing that i do when i get to a wedding is usually fly my drone and get some exterior shots of the venue so what i do is i'll take the drone up in the sky do a couple loops around i don't just settle for basic drone shots i try to get the most unique moves and the most cinematic angles my next stop on the wedding day are the getting ready shots so i usually start with the bride so i'll go to the bridal suite near the tail end of when they're getting ready so i can get some touch-up shots of getting on makeup fixing hair any jewelry that you guys are going to be wearing and then we wrap up with zipping up the dress photos with the mom helping with that so it's really a special moment and it's definitely a must capture [Music] then we move on to the groom so the groom's getting ready shots are a lot faster usually uh usually what happens is i'll have him have his pants and basic shirt on and then when i get there i'll have him tying his tie getting on his jacket if there's a vest we get that as well any accessories like a watch will also have him show that on camera usually the best man or the dad will help with this [Music] another option for you to consider with your getting ready shots is reading a letter from your significant other on camera or having a pre-wedding interview so these are cool audio clips we can add on to your video if you do get the voice over package for your highlight video and have a unique touch that increase the production value of the whole video our next stop is the first look now i understand that not all couples want to do a first look and that's okay capturing the first look on video is an awesome moment if you don't want to do custom vows during the ceremony if you want to do your vows doing a first look that's awesome that works on camera great [Music] [Applause] all right we've made it to the big moment the ceremony now during this wedding we're actually not doing a ceremony because they had their ceremony last year but usually what i'll do for a ceremony is i'll have two cameras rolling one camera on a tripod capturing the whole event that way you can have that in your extended video and then i'll have a second camera that i'm rolling around with capturing beautiful clips all over the venue all over the space i use the clips from the handheld camera in the highlight video but if you're interested in recording the entire ceremony that's a great place to have it in the extended video so if that's important to you you definitely want to get a package with the extended video in it now if you purchase the add-on a voiceover for your highlight video you're going to hear those vows in your highlight video which i think just sets them apart and i love adding those vowels in i think it's totally worth it [Music] now that the ceremony is over it's time to have some fun and but before we can get to the reception it's time to do some photos during this time we're going to get the money shots the photographer and i will take turns posing you and getting unique shots i will switch between tight close-up shots as well as super wide shots and a great way to get those super wide shots is by adding drone coverage to your package you're going to get the widest most cinematic images and see flying shots with you in them it's basically like you're in a movie [Music] when i say go and walk towards each other at normal speed big smiles [Music] you guys already looking at me the whole time big smiles lots of laughs here we go [Music] that's pretty freaking cool [Music] all right it's time for the reception and there's so much fun to be had and so much video to be captured during the reception i'm constantly moving capturing images of people dancing of the toasts of any of the special dances i'm capturing everything one of the moments where i shine is during the first dances i'll have two cameras rolling during that i'll record audio from the dj so that way you have that soundtrack that you guys dance to we can play that back in your extended video [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now whether or not you do get the voiceover package you're still going to have clear recorded audio from your toasts if you get the voice over for the highlight package you're going to have those toast audio in your highlight video but if you decide not to get that voice over you're still going to have the audio in your extended video here's the mr and mrs harden we love you and wish you all the blessings and happiness in this life together we're going to capture the bokeh toss the garter toss if you're doing shoe game we love to capture that as well we also capture the cake cutting and any other small events that are happening during the reception [Music] if you're doing a grand exit we can capture that too we love capturing sparkler exits in super slow motion the video speaks for itself well that's it for the tour of the wedding day but the videographer's job is not finished a lot of videographers don't actually talk about their editing and let me tell you a secret editing is super super important i've seen some weddings that are just poorly edited but beautifully shot but it's just missing the marks so for me editing is crucial i edit my weddings to music and to the audio of the toasts vows and anything else that you guys want to capture so i build the timeline based on the toast and the audio and build the video up from there that way it all flows together and it's a cohesive project rather than just a jumble of clips another overlooked feature in editing is color grading color grading is so important you can shoot a video on the most cinematic beautiful camera possible but if you don't have good color grading it doesn't look good [Music] delivery time is important to me because i want to make sure you get your videos as soon as possible that's why it's important that i deliver my videos within one month of your wedding date well if you stuck around this long you're probably interested in my services so please go to the contact section of my website aspireimagery.com go to the contact section send me an email with your information and i would love to talk to you about customizing a package that's right for you i hope you enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes look at how i film my weddings thank you again for considering aspire imagery for your wedding videography my
