Top Reasons to Film your Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
Like we have mentioned earlier, filming the rehearsal wedding dinner is becoming a trend. Couples nowadays prefer to film their rehearsal dinner because they don't want to miss any of their special moments while watching their special day video. Following are the reasons.
1. Candid Moments
The rehearsal dinner is less structured and hectic than your wedding day. Therefore, it’s a great opportunity to capture candid moments between loved ones. All of the important people in your lives will be there, including your wedding party and closest family. It’s the perfect chance for everyone to meet one another ahead of the big day, and you will really value getting to look back at some of those moments.

2. Memorable Speeches
Oftentimes, the best speeches come out from friends or family at rehearsal wedding dinners. It’s a more casual event, and your guests probably will feel more comfortable opening up in front of a smaller group of people. Think funny memories, loving sentiments, and all sorts of future well-wishes. Having the ability to watch these back at a later time will be absolutely invaluable.

3. Pre-Wedding Bliss
The rehearsal dinner is the calm before the storm. There are few opportunities to document this incredible moment when everything is suspended in pre-marital bliss. Everything has already been planned, you’re surrounded by loved ones, and everyone is giddy with excitement for the upcoming nuptials.
4. Wedding Videographers Get a Lay of the Land
Rehearsal dinner is the perfect place for your wedding videography services provider to familiarize themselves with the venue and the guests. This special event also allows them to know the VIPs of the wedding day. They can mingle with friends and family, so there will be no awkwardness during the filming of the big day. All too often, we hear a father of the bride or mother of the groom say at the wedding reception, “Fortunately, I got all of my tears out at the rehearsal last night.”
The rehearsal wedding dinner can be full of memories, loud laughter, and lots of beautiful tears. These moments need to be captured by an experienced wedding videographer that has a passion for storytelling.
