In the Wedding Photographer sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Special Effects delivers measurable results that transform how wedding photographer professionals communicate with their audience.
Wedding photographers adding video to their offering face a unique dual-capture challenge: they must deliver both stills and motion without letting either medium suffer. The hybrid shooter model requires specific gear choices — mirrorless cameras that excel at both photo and video (Sony A7 IV, Canon R6), external audio recorders for vows, and stabilizers that quick-release for switching between handheld photo and smooth video movement. The business model shifts from per-event pricing to tiered packages where video adds 800 to 2,500 euros on top of photography fees. Marketing this dual service requires portfolio content that demonstrates both disciplines side by side. The most effective promotional format is a 90-second reel interleaving photo reveals with video clips from the same moment, proving the photographer captures both without compromise.
Wedding videography offers no second chances — every moment is unique and unrepeatable. The challenge is capturing authentic emotion while remaining unobtrusive during the ceremony. 92% of couples say their wedding video is the most treasured keepsake, yet many are disappointed by results that feel generic or overly staged.
Modern couples expect cinematic quality with documentary authenticity. They want films that tell their unique love story, not a cookie-cutter template. This requires technical excellence (low-light capability, audio in challenging venues) combined with genuine storytelling ability.
A couple's Provence wedding was captured as a 12-minute cinematic film with drone aerials, dual-camera ceremony coverage, and a same-day edit teaser. The highlight reel reached 180K views on Vimeo and generated 23 direct inquiries for the videography studio.
Professional wedding video creates lasting family legacy while driving significant business: couples spend an average of 10-15% of their wedding budget on videography. Studios with cinematic portfolios command 60% higher rates. Social sharing of wedding films generates organic referrals — 78% of couples find their videographer through shared videos.

Special effects cover the broad category of visual enhancements that alter reality in your footage — explosions, fire, rain, snow, smoke, electrical arcs, and environmental destruction. We use a combination of stock element compositing, Houdini simulations, and After Effects particle systems depending on the scale and budget. Each effect is color-matched, shadow-integrated, and motion-tracked to your plate. This service differs from compositing (which is assembly) in that we generate the effects themselves. A single VFX shot takes 2-5 days; we recommend sending us a shot list early so we can plan the pipeline and batch similar effects together.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
Software: Nuke, After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D | Tracking: PFTrack, SynthEyes | Render: Arnold, V-Ray, Octane | Output: EXR 16/32-bit, ProRes 4444, DPX
