Perks of a Social Media Package for Your Wedding

We live in an age of here and now. People are excited to see and share their special moments. Your wedding will take that to a new level! And for good reason! However most brides don’t have time to be posting to their insta feed or sharing a story (wedding dresses don’t have pockets lol). The good news if your videographer is there to do this for you! While most videographers will create these wedding videos for you to see weeks later, Leo offers a custom Instagram package that will include photos and videos the SAME DAY of your wedding and more!

Wedding Day Instagram Story

From the details and the dress, to the first look, first kiss and special moments, Leo captures it all. Except he will share those most memorable moments directly to an Instagram story, with your tags and awesome hashtags so all your friends, family and loved ones can share in your special day as well! Don’t worry, nothing is shared until AFTER your initial reveal.

Post-Wedding Instagram Clips

The anticipation to see your wedding video after the celebration is intense! We understand that and Leo will also post behind the scenes looks at your wedding day to his Instagram feed, so you can see what is in-store. From drone shots to #FridayBrideday, you can expect to see some of the most stunning clips throughout your experience. This way, you and your close friends can share in the leadup to your big wedding video premier!

Expect the Best

While social media is a small portion of what we do, it makes it clear that Leo cares that you get the most out of your day and is willing to go above and beyond the typical “wedding videos.” The best part, is this is all included in Leo’s Premium wedding video package!

Benefits of Raw Footage from Wedding Video

If you’ve been to a wedding, you know that a lot is going on! From the bride and groom to the decorations, so much is happening! That is why people choose to add a wedding videographer in order to capture this! Our wedding videographers in Chicago do this to perfection! But all wedding videos have their limit, which is why we always suggest to take advantage of the raw footage we offer.

Raw footage from your wedding video are basically the uncut, unedited video clips that are captured throughout the day. So even though your uncle breaking it down on the dance floor may not always make your wedding video, all those infamous moments is included within the raw footage. These hours of footage can be enjoyed for years to come!

So when you are ready to book a wedding videographer, make sure to ask about raw footage!

Bridal Preps: A Necessary Part of Any Wedding Video

Wedding guests may think of that the day begins with the bride and groom walking down the aisle but those that are involved in the wedding realize the day starts much earlier. From the first dab of makeup to the final button on the wedding dress, a lot goes into preparing for the big day. Covering these moments are essential to remember all those special details that make your wedding video a true reflection on such a special day! This is exactly what our wedding videography team will do.

Pre-Wedding Video Coverage

During the pre-ceremony coverage your wedding videographer will capture all the moments leading up to the “I Do’s.” This will include, getting shots of your dress, accessories, rings and all those essential items that play such an integral part in your big day as well as the video for the wedding. The final applications of makeup, followed by mimosas with your bridesmaids add memorable moments to your wedding video.

Then of course, there’s the dress! As a wedding videographer, I’ve quickly learned how much time and effort it takes to not only pick the right dress but make it a perfect for fit. That’s why, when recording a wedding day, we will always capture every detail of your dress, before you even step into it. When it comes time to put it on, your videographer will be right there as you share that special moment with your maid of honor, your mother, and whoever who else you have tie that final bow.

Groomsmen Video Coverage

Though the guys have it easy, covering their preparation can also be arranged. While the groomsmen preps may consist more of packing the cooler and watching a football game, the ambiance of the morning and special moments are a great start to any wedding video.

What Time Should our Videographer Start?

While every wedding is different, we generally suggest around an hour (up to 2 hrs) of video coverage before the bride plans on putting on the dress. This will give us plenty of time capture video of all the above moments to show all your guests exactly what your wedding day consists of!
