A common fear of couples when it comes to hiring a videographer is that they’ll feel like they’re “under the spotlight” all day long. The feeling seems to be, “Having a formal ceremony is stressful enough, do I really want to be on edge and uncomfortable all day long by having a camera in my face?”

At 28Twenty, our goal is to (1) help you experience the best wedding day possible, AND (2) produce a wedding film that honestly and creatively captures your day in such a way that you can step back into the story each time you watch it.

Because we’ve identified this as our goal, we always work hard to “blend in” to the background. We prefer that you don’t even know we’re there. The less you think about someone filming you, the more natural and comfortable you’ll be. This always provides better footage, because you’re free to have fun or express emotion as you normally would. And this is our goal — to capture things honestly, without posing or prompting in any way. We’re not here to direct your day — we’re here to document your day.

We often hear from couples and family members that they didn’t even realize we were there! This is great to know, because we’d rather go unnoticed. We don’t want to stand out or draw attention to anyone but you! And while we like to be “invisible,” we also like to develop relationships. We enjoy joking around with you or your bridal party, or lending a hand if needed or when we’re able.

So back to the question, “Will you be in my face with a camera all day long?” With so much action taking place on that day, and with our desire to be as unobtrusive as possible, I think the LAST thing you’ll remember about your wedding day will be us and our cameras!
