Preparing for Your Wedding Day Videography

Choosing the Perfect Videographer

At Grace and Motion Wedding Films, we specialise in capturing your unique love story with a cinematic touch. It’s essential that you and your partner resonate with our videography style.

Pre Wedding Meeting Over Drinks or Coffee 

Building Connections from the Start 

At Grace and Motion Wedding Films, we highly recommend meeting over drinks or coffee before your wedding day. This casual chat helps transform us from strangers into friends who excel at capturing your special moments! Conversations about favourite TV shows or books not only help ease any nerves you may have but also often spark inspiration for your big day.

Setting the Mood with Music 

Letting the Rhythm Ease Your Nerves 

Music has a unique ability to dissolve tension. Whether it’s smooth jazz or upbeat rock, let your favourite tunes set the tone and help alleviate any camera jitters. At Grace and Motion, we create a relaxed atmosphere to ensure you feel your best during your wedding day.

Choosing Attire for Comfort and Confidence 

Finding the Right Fit for Freedom 

For brides, selecting a wedding dress that allows freedom of movement is essential. While comfort is paramount, the impact of feeling fabulous cannot be overstated. Opt for attire that enables unrestricted movement and makes you feel exceptional. When you’re comfortable and confident in what you wear, it shines through in the footage we capture!

Taking Deep Breaths and Connecting 

Focusing on Your Partner 

Centre yourself on your partner, the reason for this special day. Take slow, deep breaths to calm any nerves and find solace in each other’s embrace. Your genuine connection will translate into beautiful, authentic footage.

Living in the Moment 

Letting Your Love Shine 

Forget about the camera and immerse yourselves in each other. Laugh, hug, dance—these are the moments we love to capture!
