What is live streaming?
Live streaming is a way for friends and loved ones who are unable to attend your wedding to see and hear your wedding day virtually. Unlike face-timing through a phone or tablet, our live streaming service uses professional cameras, audio, and streaming software to create a higher quality, more reliable connection with your guests all while providing an end-product multi-angle recording of your ceremony.
Sample Live Stream Pages
*Please note: These examples are of pages that have been updated with the edited, multi-cam video that is provided within one business day following the wedding day. Live streams in live time display only one angle (this is normally the one from center aisle.)
Watts Wedding (This is a great example of windy days at the beach.)
Features
Your Own Dedicated Webpage. Before your ceremony, we’ll send you a form to complete to set up a webpage on our website that is fully dedicated to your live stream. This form includes an area where you can create a personalized welcome note to your guests and link to your gift registry, along with the option to submit images of the two of you that can be displayed as a gallery on your live streaming page. This page is also equipped with a guest message board where viewers can leave messages of congratulations to you while viewing your page that you can come back to later on to respond. You can see an example of this page by clicking here.
A Recorded Copy of Your Wedding Ceremony. Live streams are recorded, and by the day following your ceremony, a video of your ceremony will be added to your page for family and friends to view after the ceremony.*
We Use Professional Camera Equipment, Mics & Software. Live streaming is something that we have placed a heavy investment in. All of our live streams are recorded using high-quality professional camera equipment with the use RØDE mics with wind-resistant covers to ensure optimal sound quality. And, unlike Zoom or other conference software, our platform is designed specifically for businesses and brands who depend on live streaming as a core of their business structure and is a leader in live stream uptime and quality of service.
The Live Stream is Monitored By Someone On Our Team. In order to provide the very best live streaming service possible, there is always a member from our team who is present to control and monitor the live streaming service while it is streaming and recording. *On packages that already include videography, as the live stream attaches to camera equipment already there, this person will be the videographer there that day.
technical specifications
Live stream clarity will be determined by the internet connection available. For locations where WiFi is not available or for areas where wireless access points are password protected, this service will be streamed via AT&T cellular service. When service is unavailable, the live feed will be delayed until wireless access is restored. For live streaming, we provide and control all of the equipment needed to support your live stream, including a microphone, supporting software, camera, and tripod. The live stream is directly embedded into our website making access for viewing easier for your guests. It does not require additional software or plugins to be downloaded and supported browsers include Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Apple Safari.
Live streaming quality up to 1080p.
Edited ceremony videos
Below you can find a collection of ceremony samples of videos once they have been edited.
-
Your live stream page and downloadable ceremony video will be available for up to two years after your event.
-
The live stream does not, but your recorded ceremony video will. To help provide the highest quality signal and lower error rate for live streams, we use a hardwired connection from camera to computer rather than a wireless one. This means that only one camera view is seen during the live streaming of your ceremony. However, for live stream setups, we believe redundancies are important to have and typically run a total of 3 cameras, providing additional angles that can be stitched into the high-resolution video created for you after the event.
-
It is! We know how important your wedding day is to you and have designed our live streams to include what would be the same as the service we provide for full-day videography for your ceremony. This means that the ceremony video added to your page after the event has been edited for:
Color Balance
Cropping & Straightening
Audio Cleanup (to remove as much background and wind noise as possible)
-
The number of cameras we use is based upon your unique wedding circumstances and ranges between two to four cameras. Please keep in mind, though, when the live stream is live, only one camera will be displayed on your live stream page. This will be the one sitting at the end of the aisle.
-
We will typically use a total of four audio sources.
A wireless mic on the officiant. This is the one that will feed directly into your live stream.
A field recorder mic on the groom. This will apply for weddings with only live streaming or if you already have a full-day videography package with us. We typically skip this mic if you have a different videographer for the day.
A direct connection recorder into your deejay’s amplification system.
One to two ambient mics with wind socks.
-
We use some of the smallest available mics on the market. Weighing in at only 31g with a dimension size of 1.7” x 1.8” by .7” tall, our mics are incredibly lightweight and are as simple as attaching a lav and dropping in your closest pocket. Don’t have a pocket? Not to worry! We can also easily attach these mics using an easy-to-use double-sided magnet.
