Wedding Video Production: Cinematic Storytelling Approach

Develop a comprehensive guide for producing cinematic wedding videos that tell an emotional and authentic story. The guide should include: 1) Pre-wedding consultation approaches (identifying key moments, couple's story, shooting style preferences), 2) Equipment recommendations and setup considerations for different wedding venues, 3) Shooting techniques for critical moments (preparation, ceremony, speeches, first dance) with camera movement guidelines, 4) Audio capture strategies for clear vows and speeches, 5) Directing couples for natural yet cinematic moments, 6) Editing structure and pacing for different video deliverables (highlight reel, documentary edit, social media clips), 7) Music selection and licensing considerations, 8) Color grading approaches that create timeless rather than trendy looks. Include timeline recommendations for the entire production process and client delivery strategies. The approach should balance artistic vision with the practical constraints of wedding day realities.
