Want a Sydney wedding video but worried you won’t be yourself in front of the camera? You’re not the first. Try as they might, not everyone can as super cool as Megan Gale or Isla Fisher in front of a camera!

But you’ll be surprised just how quickly you can forget the camera on your wedding day. You’ll be far too busy enjoying your special day, hugging relatives and tearing up the dance-floor to even notice your wedding videographer.

Our wedding videographers have seen it all – so here they give their best advice on how to overcome camera shyness and get the Sydney wedding video you’ve been dreaming of:

1. Meet the wedding videographer

Start by meeting your wedding videographer before your special day. A face-to-face meeting lets you get to know your videographer and find out how filming will unfold on the day. Your videographer will tell you some inspiring stories of weddings they’ve filmed and take you through their Sydney wedding videography portfolio. This will give you confidence in their ability to capture the real essence of your day.

2. Just be yourself

As your big day approaches there’s so much to think about. Are the flowers right? Will the dress fit? Will everybody get along? But on the day you can just let all the worries and details drift away and enjoy your day. Just remember – this is all about celebrating you both as a couple. Your videographer will just blend into the background and even if you do spot the lens – you can simply ignore it.

3. Take time out

Don’t worry – the camera won’t be following your every move! Your videographer has filmed lots of weddings and appreciates that you’ll need some moments to yourself, to take everything in. Your videographer can take this time to capture shots of guests, the atmosphere and aspects of your location. So you and loved one will have time to yourselves, catch up with loved ones, or simply refresh the hair and make-up!

4. And….cut!

The great thing about Sydney wedding videos is that you can ask for bits to be edited out after the event. So go with the flow and then worry about what it looks like afterwards! The truth is your wedding day will be made up of so many special loving, exhilarating and even humorous moments, you’ll probably want to keep all the memories just as they happened. And that’s what really makes the best wedding videography Sydney has ever seen.

So long as you relax and be yourself, the rest will fall into place!
