From offering an Instagrammable music video-style highlight of a couple\u2019s big day to coordinating a livestream of a ceremony, trends in wedding videography are constantly evolving.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last five years is really when everyone wanted to have social media short clips,\u201d says LaVina Bostock, a videographer and owner of Your Day Production, which has been in the business since 2007. Instagram highlight videos, which max out at one minute in length, are generally sent within two days following the event as a teaser for the forthcoming full-length video.<\/p>\n

Overall, New Orleans videographers say that more couples are choosing to add professional video footage of their wedding day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have definitely found that there\u2019s an influx of people who want video now,\u201d says Shainna Miles, owner of Silver Loop Studios, which has been in the business for 11 years. \u201cVideo was popular before, but nowhere near as popular compared to a wedding photographer, but now, that playing field is starting to level up due to how important and timeless videos are and having that memory for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the last year, local videographers added Zoom and livestreaming services for micro-weddings with a reduced number of guests. Livestreaming a ceremony is a tougher challenge than it appears.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hardest part is the internet, because we cannot control the internet service and not all churches have great Wi-Fi,\u201d Bostock says. \u201cFor one wedding, the church\u2019s Wi-Fi was intermittent, and I was trying to get on my mobile hotspot and there were so many people in the city that weekend, it was like being in the Superdome and trying to text someone a picture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Livestreaming also drains a laptop\u2019s battery, so it\u2019s important to have a full charge or position the computer near an outlet when possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember one outdoor wedding, the computer battery was going down quickly and I moved my car and plugged the computer charger into my car,\u201d Bostock says.<\/p>\n

As the city reopens to larger gatherings, fewer couples are requesting livestreaming services.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one has booked me on it since the city opened up,\u201d Bostock says. \u201cI think for the future, it might end up being for more intimate weddings and elopements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Korry Melton, with Bella Productions Wedding Films, says the pandemic resulted in videos being more important than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecent trends in videography have aligned with recent wedding trends due to the pandemic \u2014 smaller weddings and more focus on family and close friends,\u201d Melton says.<\/p>\n
