On November 11, 2011, we were able to spend the day with this Jessica + Ryan at The Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando Florida.

When it comes to getting the perfect wedding video in Orlando, there are a few simple things you have to remember. Sure, it matters if you have the right Orlando wedding videographer in order to shoot the perfect Orlando Florida wedding video, but there are other things to remember in order to have the perfect wedding video.

Tip #1 do not be afraid to have a good time and show it

Yes, for most people their wedding is an amazing moment that they are going to remember for the rest of their lives, but that does not mean that you cannot have fun as well. Some people are so tense about their wedding video that they try to completely ignore the videographer and make sure not to smile too much. It is ok to look at the camera occasionally and remember this is your big day, it is ok if you smile once in a while!

Tip #2 walking down the aisle should be fun

It only gets worse when people walk down the aisle, most people who walk down the aisle are either too nervous or too focused on getting down the aisle without trying to trip over something. But remember, this is your wedding video so look up occasionally and smile.

Tip #3 make sure that there is good lighting during the ceremony and reception

This is one of the reasons so many people trust their videos to professional Orlando Florida wedding videographers, you want to make sure that there is enough lighting during both the reception and the ceremony itself. The last thing anyone wants is to have a beautiful ceremony, but have it be barely visible on the video because the lighting was not good enough.

Tip #4 having a sunset wedding? Make sure that the cameras are not pointing towards the sun

Especially if you have an amateur videographer shoot the entire wedding, sometimes small details get lost.  If you are having a sunset wedding, just remember that cameras do not respond well to being pointed directly into the sun

Tip #5 sometimes a professional is just the best investment

When it comes to Orlando wedding videography, sometimes it just makes sense to hire a professional. When you have a professional take care of your wedding videos, you know you are going to get professional quality video and audio. A professional can even show you some of the more recent videos that they have filmed and this makes it easy to decide if that is exactly what you want for your wedding.

Lake Nona is one of the most prestigious communities in Central Florida. Despite an afternoon rain storm that Florida is famous for during the summer months their ceremony was held on a beautiful terrace overlooking Lake Nona. The lake shore provided a stunning backdrop for Brandy + Mark to exchange their vows and make their lifelong commitment to one another. The candlelit room provided a unique setting for their guests to celebrate and if wedding cake isn’t your flavor the candy bar or ice cream would satisfy any sweet tooth. Make sure you notice the beautiful lighting, decor and the twist on the typical sand ceremony you may have seen at a wedding.

On a beautiful day in Central Florida Marcela + Brian were married at the Cypress Grove Estate House in Orlando, Florida on April, 16, 2011. It was a bit windy but the weather was gorgeous for this outdoor wedding.



Festive garb is the perfect place to display some individuality. Few things cause as much strife as six women all trying to fit into identical dresses.  Likewise, guys don’t want to feel like an Ivy League choir with collars and bowties as stiff as the plastic they came in. Moreover, asking your friends to break the bank on an outfit they will wear for a few hours isn’t exactly great form.

So, shake it up.  For the maid of honor and bridesmaids, allow each woman to choose a dress that flatters her figure.  Maybe one will wear strapless and flowing while another dons a more formfitting cap sleeve number.   Even better, each girl should wear her hair how it looks best – shaggy, curly, swept up, half up, whatever as long as it’s flattering! Hairpiece and jewelry should compliment her and her style, and can come in a range of shapes, sizes and sparkle. And who said shoes all have to be the same?  Pick the color for the footwear and leave the style to the girls – wedges, pumps, boots, can all coexist beautifully!  As for the men, they can all sport differently patterned shirts and accessories (yes, accessories are for men as well).  Pinstripe, plaids, solids, bowties, skinny ties, suspenders or no suspenders, and boutonnières can all be in the same color family without being identical.  Where facial hair is concerned, presentable and handsome is the only standard.  It’s okay to ban pirate like moustaches and gnome beards if they aren’t with the flow, but let boys be boys as much as possible.

Take your wedding colors and expand the spectrum a little bit.  A good way to visualize this is to stop by Home Depot and grab a few paint cards!  With several people spread out on either side of the altar, may shades of the same color family will look brilliant! Not only is this route more budget friendly, it looks great for the photo album.  When looking back on your wedding day, you’ll be able to see each of your bridesmaids and groomsmen looking fantastic – just the way they already are.
