What a Wedding Day Looks Like Through My Lens | Wedding videography behind the scenes

At Öröm Wedding Films, I don’t just show up with a camera—I show up ready to tell your cinematic wedding storyfrom start to finish. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what a full-day wedding videographer experience looks like.

🎬 Arrival: Early and Prepared

I always arrive early. Before anything begins, I check in with the couple or planner, scout the venue for cinematic video spots, and find the best angles for:

• First look video moments (if planned)

• Couple portrait shots

• Drone wedding footage using DJI Air 3S and Avata 2 (FPV and standard)

I also film the wedding venue—inside and out—and capture décor details before guests arrive. These subtle elements help tell the full story of your day.

👰 Getting Ready: Capturing the Calm Before the Joy

Once setup begins, I move into prep spaces to film:

• The wedding dress hanging

• Hair and makeup sessions

• The emotional zipping up the dress moment

• The groom and groomsmen getting ready

This is one of the most intimate parts of the day. I work calmly, capturing emotional wedding moments that add depth to your film.

🎤 Audio Setup: Crystal Clear Sound

Great audio is crucial. I ensure professional sound by:

• Placing lav mics on the groom and officiant

• Recording directly from the DJ’s sound system for both ceremony and reception

This allows me to preserve every word of your vows and every heartfelt toast with broadcast-quality audio.

🎥 Ceremony: 4 Cameras, 1 Moment

How I Capture Cinematic Wedding Videography During the Ceremony

The ceremony is the heart of your day. I film it with multi-camera precision, using four cameras to cover:

• The walk down the aisle

• The groom’s first look and family reactions

• Wide, medium, and close-up angles

• FPV drone ceremony shots when allowed

This setup creates a cinematic wedding ceremony video that feels like a film—because it is.

🕺 Reception: Let the Celebration Begin

As the energy builds, I shift into documentary mode with a cinematic eye. For the reception, I film:

• Grand entrance with a 4-camera setup

• First dances and parent dances

• Speeches, with mics placed on the handheld and DJ system

• Cake cutting — a sweet (and symbolic) moment always worth capturing

• Fun on the dance floor

• Grand exit (sparkler, confetti, bubbles—captured by drone if possible)

This portion of the night is lively, spontaneous, and emotional—and I’m there to catch it all.

🏁 The Final Moments: Grand Exit

I coordinate to capture your wedding send-off in style—whether it’s drones flying overhead or a slow-motion moment as you leave as newlyweds. These shots often become the final scene of your highlight film.

🎞️ Behind the Scenes: What You Don’t See

After your big day, the storytelling continues. I carefully back up every file and begin editing:

• A highlight film that captures the heart of your day

• Full ceremony and speeches

• A long-form wedding film (up to 90 minutes)

• Optional trailer, teaser, or FOMO edit

• Social media clips (vertical videos perfect for Instagram & TikTok)

Each film is designed to reflect your personalities, emotions, and legacy.

Why It Matters

Weddings fly by. You’ll blink, and it’s over. My job is to make sure your wedding film lets you relive it all—the voices, the emotions, the movement.
