Outdoor Portrait Footage

1x camera / 60 fps / no external audio

50/50 candid & directed shots.

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

A bride holding a bouquet of flowers is peeking through glass doors of a balcony, with another woman in a purple dress inside. A man in a blue suit is partially visible in the foreground.

Couple first look:

His reaction is top priority. Also capture her approach over the shoulder & a couple kiss.

A newlywed couple holding hands and smiling, walking out of a stone archway building, with greenery and flowers around.

Couple side-by-side:

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

A bride and groom face each other outdoors, smiling, with sunlight illuminating their faces during their wedding.

Veil:

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

A woman with curly hair in a white dress is walking with a man in a black suit outdoors during daytime, surrounded by trees with green and yellow leaves.

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.”

A couple dancing on a rooftop with a city skyline in the background, including tall skyscrapers and buildings.

Dance:

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

A group of wedding party members, including bridesmaids and groomsmen, celebrating outdoors on an urban rooftop with tall city buildings in the background.

Bridal party:

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

Rocks along the shoreline with water gently lapping against them.

Outdoor detail movement:

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