You’ve probably heard the phrase: “It’s not the gear, it’s the storyteller.”
And while that’s true—great stories start with vision and heart—the right tools help us bring those stories to life in a truly cinematic way.
At Öröm Wedding Films, we don’t cut corners. From stunning visuals to crystal-clear audio, every piece of equipment we use is chosen with purpose: to preserve your wedding day in the most beautiful, reliable, and emotional way possible.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the gear we use to capture the magic.
🎥
Cameras – Capturing Every Angle in Cinematic Detail
We film with professional-grade Sony cameras known for their incredible low-light performance, detail, and dynamic range.
Sony A7S III – The workhorse for cinematic video. Perfect for low-light receptions, slow-motion, and artistic shots.
Sony A7R V – Excellent for detail shots and dual photo/video needs. Often used for getting ready moments or backup wide angles.
Sony FX30 – A cinema-style camera that gives us true film vibes with a super 35mm sensor—great for artistic compositions and handheld magic.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 – Small, nimble, and amazing for gimbal-style shots without drawing attention—perfect for walking sequences or guest interactions.
🚁
Drones – Storytelling From the Sky
We use drones to capture cinematic aerial views that add scale and emotion to your film.
DJI Avata 2 – Our FPV-style drone for dynamic, immersive fly-throughs.
DJI Air 3S – Great for smooth cinematic landscapes, venue overviews, and couple walk shots from above.
We’re FAA-compliant and experienced in flying safely in various conditions.

Audio – Because Your Vows Deserve to Be Heard Clearly
Your words matter. That’s why we use professional audio systems to capture vows, toasts, and every spoken moment.
Rode Wireless Pro Mics – Dual wireless systems for clean audio during the ceremony, speeches, and candid moments.
32-bit float recorders – These capture audio even if someone whispers or suddenly shouts—no clipping, no missed lines.
💡
Lighting – For Those Just-Right Moments
While we mostly rely on natural light, we come prepared when the environment needs a boost.
Godox SL60Bi + Lantern Softboxes – Soft, flattering lighting for indoor receptions, speeches, or flat light spaces.
SmallRig COB Lights – Compact yet powerful fill lights—especially helpful during darker venues or detail shots.
🎬
Support Gear – Stability Meets Style
Gimbals & Monopods – For smooth movement and storytelling flow
Tripods for Ceremony Coverage – Ensures steady shots from multiple angles
C-stands and Light Modifiers – For artistic lighting setups where needed

Storage & Backup – Protecting Your Memories
Your footage is irreplaceable—so we treat it like gold.
Multiple SD Cards & SSDs – We rotate and back up cards throughout the day
On-Site Backups – Footage is duplicated as we shoot
Post-Shoot Triple Backup System – Stored locally and offsite until delivery

Post-Production – Where the Story Comes Together
We edit using Adobe Premiere Pro, color grade in DaVinci Resolve, and incorporate licensed music that fits your vibe perfectly.
Every frame is carefully curated, every audio layer balanced, and every story told with emotional clarity.
