How I Prep and Film A Ceremony
How I Prep and Film A Ceremony
In this hour and 22-minute mini course, you’ll see exactly how I film a wedding ceremony — how I position myself, communicate with my team and photographer, and film each moment with precision and intention. This is one of the most meaningful parts of the day, where all the anticipation and emotion come together. You’ll also get to see the gear I use and how I decide on placement for each camera to ensure every angle of the ceremony is covered unobtrusively.
Before we get to the live filming, I’ll walk you through how I prepare behind the scenes — from what I research and confirm with planners and couples beforehand, to how I coordinate with my team and map out our shot plan leading up to the wedding weekend. Then you’ll see it all come to life as I film a real ceremony in real time, including the actual footage being taken from my camera throughout the process.

I love that the course doesn’t seem to have anything unnecessary - no fluff at all. Straight to the point and informative for every second of it. I was pleasantly surprised to get a glimpse of how you approach the day as a whole - which sets you up for such efficiency when shooting the ceremony. From your gear to your team - I find it SO VALUABLE that you include how you approach the way you speak to guests, how you delegate and prepare your team, and how you prepare your gear and explain your gear not only for just the ceremony but even small insights to how you disperse your gear for your team throughout the day. GOLDEN. And for such an affordable price? GOLDEN! I’ve just recently began having 3 shooters for the majority of my weddings - I think that you explaining your reasoning behind a team of at least 3 is going to be very eye-opening for everyone who purchases. The way that you communicate with your team is amazing - it shifts this course from being “How does EMMA do it all” to “How does EMMA and EMMA’s TEAM do it all” while also highlighting the correct way to equip your team to capture everything with efficiency and finesse all at the same time.
"As a seasoned wedding videographer who has filmed well over one hundred weddings, I can confidently say this mini course is monumentally valuable. It is truly a steal for the price point. Emma pulls back the curtain and gives you an unfiltered, close up look at how one of the industry’s best approaches a wedding ceremony from start to finish. Emma does not just tell you what she is doing. She brings you into her inner dialogue, her decision making, her gear choices, her communication with other vendors, and the thought process behind every move she makes. Watching her explain camera settings, tripod workflow, drone strategy, guest sightline awareness, and timing was incredibly refreshing, even at my experience level.
Whether you are just getting started or you have been in the game for years, the value here is undeniable. This course challenges you to rethink your approach, refine your workflow, and elevate your creative eye to match what high end clients expect. It takes you out of your usual rhythm and forces you to see weddings from a much more intentional, story focused, and driven perspective. This is one of those rare educational experiences that meets you exactly where you are while also leveling you up. Beginners will find clarity and confidence, and seasoned filmmakers will find fresh inspiration, advanced nuance, and industry leading perspective.
Emma created something special here. This is the kind of resource that genuinely makes you better. If you are serious about growing as a filmmaker and want to understand how to approach wedding ceremonies with precision, professionalism, and luxury level intention, this mini course is an absolute must."
