Why You Should Consider a Video Engagement Shoot

Planning A Wedding?

Make it unforgettable with our cinematic engagement shoots!

Planning a wedding is a magical journey, and capturing those cherished moments leading up to your big day is just as important as the wedding itself. While engagement photo shoots are common, a video engagement shoot offers a unique and cinematic way to tell your story—and there are plenty of reasons to consider adding it to your wedding journey!

Why a video engagement shoot? 

Discover how a video engagement shoot can elevate your wedding journey. From building on-camera chemistry to exploring creative video styles, it’s the perfect way to prepare for your big day. Here are 5 reasons to create cinematic memories!

1. Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera

A video engagement shoot is a perfect opportunity to loosen up and get comfortable in front of the camera. Unlike photos, the video involves movement, angles, and emotions that unfold naturally. This experience helps you feel at ease and prepares you for the cinematic style we’ll use on your wedding day.

2. Build a Relationship with Your Videography Team

Working with a videography team before your wedding helps you build trust and establish a working relationship. You’ll gain insights into how we operate—shooting scenes, coordinating multiple angles, and even doing retakes to ensure the final product is perfect. By the time your wedding day arrives, you’ll feel like a pro!

3. Learn to Take Direction and Shine Like Stars

Our cinematic wedding films are inspired by Bollywood’s grand storytelling. During your engagement shoot, we’ll guide you through facial expressions, body language, and performance techniques to bring out your best on camera. Think of it as a fun and creative rehearsal before your wedding day.

4. Develop On-Camera Chemistry

Being comfortable with each other on camera is key to creating a seamless and captivating wedding video. A video engagement shoot helps you practice your on-camera chemistry, ensuring your wedding footage looks natural, romantic, and timeless.

5. Choose Your Perfect Video Style

We offer two unique formats for your video engagement shoot:

1. Concept Video:

This long-form video (2.5 to 4 minutes) is like your own short film. It features multiple locations, creative themes, and elements of your love story—how you met, what you enjoy doing together, and candid moments. It’s perfect for showcasing your journey in a beautifully cinematic way.

2. Cinematic E-Shoot:

A simpler option featuring two locations and two outfits, this 1.5-minute video is ideal for incorporating into your wedding day edits. Couples love using it as a standalone video before the wedding footage begins or creatively blending it with wedding day moments.
