What is hybrid wedding coverage? It combines a documentary wedding photography style with wedding videography to craft a natural and authentic story of your celebration. Often, this is done by one single person who can photograph and film the wedding simultaneously. Hybrid wedding coverage is the best way to have your wedding completely captured.
Hybird Wedding Coverage Video & Photo Examples
Why Hybrid Wedding Coverage Is Great!
A Consistent Look: When you hire two different companies, they will photograph and film your day differently. When they each edit your wedding photos and film, the color of your video will look different. Hybrid coverage documents your day with a consistent style and color.
Simplify Your Planning: One person, one plan—that's the beauty of hybrid coverage. It's easier to plan your wedding schedule and wallet, wrapping up your photography and videography needs into one neat package.
Saves Time: When you hire two different photo and video teams, you need to double the time for formal wedding photos and video formals. Hybrid coverage gives you more time to enjoy your wedding and less time worrying about a wedding timeline.
Real Moments, Captured: Your photos and wedding video will be filled with genuine, candid moments—no stiff poses or forced smiles. Just the authentic, heartfelt photos and videos from your day.
The Complete Experience: Why choose between photos and videos when you can have both? Hybrid coverage gives you a full picture (and movie) of your day, ensuring no memory gets left behind.
Hybrid Wedding Coverage FAQ
How can photos and videos be captured at the same time?
Advancements in wedding photography equipment make it quite straightforward to switch between taking photos and recording videos. I carry two cameras, allowing me to easily alternate between capturing still images and video footage. This ensures I can capture your day in both formats without missing a beat.
Will important moments be missed?
It's a valid concern, but I've developed a system to ensure that no moment goes undocumented. For crucial moments like your wedding ceremony I use two cameras to capture both photos and videos simultaneously. Plus, a safety camera records video in the back, just in case.
Does the video include live sound from the day?
Yes, I can include audio throughout the video when requested. Highlight films are a visual summary of your day set to a song. If capturing audio is important to you, I can review options for including some audio in your video.
Can I choose the music for the video?
Directly using popular songs can be complicated due to copyright laws. I have access to musicbed.com, which has thousands of songs perfect for your wedding video. However, there are ways to overlay it on social media, adding that personal touch to your memories.
