Selecting the proper camera equipment is crucial for filming wedding videos with stunning image quality. At Grace & Motion, we invest in top-tier equipment to capture your special day in cinematic detail. Read on for expert insight into the cameras and features we recommend for professional wedding videography.
Prioritise Image Sensor Size
A camera’s image sensor size directly impacts the quality and low-light performance. Larger sensors excel in dim reception lighting. Our primary cameras are Blackmagic 6K Pro models boasting full-frame 35mm sensors similar to DSLRs. This provides gorgeous image rendition and artistic bokeh blur effects. The advanced tech in these cinema cameras delivers unparalleled video quality for all of your wedding memories.
Consider Recording Formats
We shoot weddings in 4K resolution to retain maximum detail for editing. Our cameras record in high-quality formats like RAW and ProRes for optimal flexibility in post-production. High bitrate recording ensures excellent image quality. We deliver videos in crystal clear high-definition 1080p.
Invest in Lenses for Versatility
Our equipment arsenal includes an array of lenses like wide angles for venue-establishing shots, telephoto’s to capture emotion from afar, and fast primes for beautiful bokeh. Selecting the perfect lens for each moment enables us to artfully tell your story. Wide aperture lenses excel in low light.
Ensure Effective Autofocus
We rely on autofocus to keep up with the spontaneous moments of your wedding. Our cameras boast advanced focusing with face and eye tracking to keep you sharp as you move. This avoids any missed shots from manual focusing errors.
Consider Sound Quality
While most footage will get overlayed with songs for wedding videos in editing, clean on-camera audio is useful as backup and for moments without music. We capture sound through external recorders and high-end microphones. Multiple audio sources provide flexibility in post.
Use Camera Stabilisers
Gimbal and grip gear is essential for stable, professional-looking footage while shooting handheld. This allows us to smoothly follow you throughout the day. Stabilised video delivers a fluid, cinematic look.
Have Backup Camera Bodies
At each wedding, we shoot with multiple camera bodies and lenses to capture different angles simultaneously. Having reserves ensures we can keep filming non-stop, even if a camera requires troubleshooting.
Invest in Reliable Memory Cards
We only trust top-performing memory cards from leading brands to record hours of flawless 4K footage. Cards are formatted before each event. Using multiple cards allows uninterrupted shooting.
Work with an Experienced Team
Whilst equipment is important, our seasoned videographers make the real difference through skillful operation. Our artists have an innate talent for composing striking shots. They anticipate moments to capture authentic emotions. Trust our expertise.
