Outs

1. Overly Staged Poses:

• We prefer more ore genuine, candid moments that reflect the couple's personalities.

2. Static Shots Only:

• More dynamic movements, such as tracking shots and steadicam shots, to add energy and visual interest instead of static shots.

3. Low-Quality Audio:

• Poor audio can significantly diminish the impact of wedding videos, so prioritize clear and crisp audio capture.

4. Generic Music Choices:

• No more generic or overused music tracks. Unique and personalized music selections that resonate with the couple's style and story is the way to go.

5. Cookie-cutter Storytelling:

• Personalized storytelling to each couple, ensuring that their unique personalities and experiences shine through.

6. Ignoring Pre-wedding Storytelling:

• Overlooking the importance of pre-wedding storytelling. Pre-wedding films can provide a beautiful introduction to the couple's journey and set the tone for the wedding day.
