Frequently Asked Questions

Why do couples exchange gifts or notes on the morning of their wedding?

Couples exchange gifts or notes on their wedding morning as a way to connect intimately before the ceremony. It's a moment to express heartfelt emotions and share private sentiments that set a deeply personal tone for the day. This gesture adds a layer of anticipation and excitement, making the day even more memorable.

How can including the reading of these letters in our wedding film enhance the experience?

Incorporating the reading of these letters into your wedding film can profoundly amplify the emotional impact. Hearing the words spoken aloud adds a raw, genuine touch, making the film not just a visual memory but an emotional journey as well. It allows the couple and their loved ones to relive the intimate emotions of the day, captured forever on film.

What is the best time during the wedding day to read these letters for the film?

The best time is during the pre-ceremony preparations. This period is usually a bit quieter and more reflective, making it ideal for capturing such personal moments. It also sets an emotionally resonant tone for the rest of the day, beautifully leading into the ceremony itself.

Should we read our own words, or can we have someone else read the letters in the video?

While you can absolutely choose someone else to read the letters, having you read your own words adds a deeply personal touch. It captures your genuine reactions and emotions, making the film more authentic and heartfelt. However, if you're uncomfortable on camera, having a close friend or family member read them can also be incredibly moving.

What should we do if we want to keep the content of our notes private but still want to include this moment in our wedding film?

If privacy is a concern, you can inform me beforehand, and I will focus solely on capturing the emotions expressed during the reading, without recording the specific content of the notes. This way, the sentiment and intimacy of the moment are preserved without compromising your privacy.
