4 styles of Wedding Films: which one is the right choice for you?

In this article I explained the reasons why you should never give up a wedding film for your special day. Once decided, all you have to do is contacting a professional, known as wedding videographer, to entrust your precious memories in skilled hands.

How, however, to understand who is the most suitable professional for you? In this regard, it may be useful to talk about some styles adopted by wedding videographers, to understand which one could be the one most in line with your needs and tastes.

1. Cinematic style

Wedding videos that adopt a cinematic style, just like the name suggests, are designed to look like movies.

In general, these are videos of high artistic value which, rather than the faithful reproduction of the day, in the manner and order in which it took place, prefer to arouse an emotional impact in the viewer. In this type of video, the presence of the videographer is strongly felt, both in guiding the spouses during the wedding and in the creative choices during the editing phase.

Wedding films that adopt this style are suitable for those couples who feel comfortable and excited to get involved in front of the camera.

2. Documentary style

Documentary-style wedding videos focus on capturing the wedding day as it unfolds, following the events in their chronological order as much as possible.

In this case, you'll will feel less the presence of the videographer, who prefers the unplanned moments of your day, those that happen absolutely spontaneously.

In this type of videos, therefore, the shooting style is less "set", and the editing style tends towards realism, with less intervention and manipulation on the part of the director.

This type of wedding film is perfect for couples who want a more natural and authentic representation of their wedding day.

3. Storytelling

Storytelling is a type of wedding film which incorporates interviews and dialogues that can also be recorded in advance.

This type of video, just as the name suggests, focuses on the couple's love story. To do this, voice-over is often used, which allows to better tell the story of the couple and their wedding day.

Storytelling lends itself very well to being used in combination with other styles, in particular with the cinematic but also with the documentary style.
