The Benefits of Two Videographers
by Gill Hollinshead
10th March 2026
So much goes into the planning and preparation for your very special day. While the Bride and her Bridesmaids are starting their day with hair & makeup, girly bonding, breakfast treats & last minute preparations the Groom is spending time with his mates. Maybe learning how to tie a formal tie and struggling with cufflinks, sharing stag do memories and chilling with his groomsmen. Button holes pinned & the speeches checked. Maybe those last minute couple letters exchanged and quiet moments to reflect.
Then the Groom greets the guests as they arrive, those family and friends who all mean so much to the couple. These first moments all missed by the Bride on the day.
With 2 videographers capturing both situations at one time, the couple can fully embrace each others raw emotion of the day. As Bride & Groom you’re easily lost in your own personal whirlwinds but with 2 videographers you don’t miss out on what’s happened elsewhere, you get a permanent visual record of everything you didn’t get to see on the day itself.
Video captures the laughter, little comments & gems that still photos can’t.
When it comes to the Ceramony 2 videographers can be covering both the Couple and their Family & Guests. Capturing both the whole picture plus the smaller close up details, touches, expressions, tears, laughter & emotions. With a Videographer positioned both at the front and back of the venue you get the full visual of that dress from behind as Bride walks up the isle, the Grooms expression as he sees his Bride for the very first time, Months of planning all been leading up to this moment. Other camera, which has been capturing nervous Groom and supportive groomsmen in waiting, captures the Bride from the front as she approaches her partner and as they then both turn to face the celebrant together. That first reassuring touch of hands.
With 2 videographers we can cover the couple as they exchange vows and rings with multiple visuals both wider angle and close up shots. We can also picture the family, bridesmaids & groomsmen as they’re witnessing the Ceramony. 2 videographers can cover every detail that matters in a very non invasive way.
I love being 2nd camera to my talented “Favourite Nephew” and can’t express enough how very proud I am to be involved in such a big moment in couples lives. The beginning of their future together. Capturing those details which make your personal days memories forever. Genuine love and laughter fills the day and you don’t want to miss anything.
Every story is unique and I feel, as second videographer, I can capture the subtle, and not so subtle, multiple angles making your wedding video “next level special”
