How to Hold a Camera for a Wedding Video

Ok, I know this sounds like a “duh” moment, but questions how how to hold a camera for a wedding video really does! Hopefully everyone knows not to put their fingers over the lens, but I see people send in sideways video, so I thought it might help to talk about how to hold the camera.

Think about it this way, when you watch tv, are the videos taller than they are wide? No. When you watch TV do they have black bars along the side of the video? No. So why do people sometimes hold the camera or iPhone that way when shooting wedding video I think it’s because brides and grooms are taller than they are wide. Hmm….

No worries, we can fix it on your feature length WeddingMix wedding video, but it does take a little longer to get back to you, and doesn’t look quite as good.

Here’s a little video tutorial I created to show you the right way to hold a camera – feel free to email it to your guests or print on wedding table cards. That way, you’ll get a totally amazing video through the lenses of your guests 🙂
