Tips to Capture the Day Best

Pick 1 or 2 guests to film the important moments (ceremony, first dance, speeches, etc.)

Make sure whoever is filming asks others to leave little messages!

Camcorder stabilizer is on, but still hold the camcorder steady for less shakiness!

Test out the camcorder before the wedding day. Record up to 1 minute and click the play button to watch it back.
