Outdoor Portrait Video

1x camera / 60 fps / no external audio

50/50 candid & directed shots.

Have fun with directing but be professional, respectful and efficient with time.

Communicate with the photographer about sharing the center vantage point.

Couple first look:

Her approach over the shoulder, His reaction is top priority, capture them kissing.

From behind:

Get a shot following them as they walk and get one staying still while they walk away. I always direct them to, “Pause and kiss.”

Couple side-by-side:

“Stand side-by-side, look at eachother, hold hands, whisper something funny into her ear.”

Veil:

Get under the veil, have a bridal party member throw the veil and run, veil in the foreground.

Dance:

“Practice your first dance”. Get mediums and wides of them practicing.

Bridal party:

“Everybody compliment the bride/groom. Now, dance hard at the bride (Make it PG-13)! Cheer while the couple kisses.”

Outdoor detail movement:

Shoot anything that moves! Water, flowers, trees, animals, flags, people.
