The Documentary Approach
This particular style will focus on keeping a record of what your wedding day actually looked like. Often, they are the most affordable option for couples who want to have a video of their special day. Basically, it is a recording of the day as it happened. Usually, the priority is given to substance over style, hence, this means that you will get a full video of everything that happened during that day. However, less focus is provided to make everything that happened look wonderful on camera. The final version of the recording is usually set to a wide range of songs and the order of the events will be shown chronologically, as they happened.

The Cinematic approach
Due to all the advancements in camera technology, wedding videographers can now capture the moments in a very cinematic style. The focus is usually on making everything look perfect on the recording and the people or person recording the video will consider the lens choice, light, and camera movement in order to make the final film have a high production value and to be polished. These are typically shorter than the first style on this list and it actually allows the videographer to be more focused and creative on capturing the most important parts of the event. These films are not usually edited in a chronological way and this will make the video less predictable and more enjoyable to watch.

The Storytelling Approach
This style will put the story first. Although the final product might look cinematic, people recording in this style are more focused on the who, rather than what during the event. Instead of recording how the wedding looked like, the main effort is to capture who you actually are as a couple. This approach makes sure that the wedding movie is unique and personal to each couple that is getting married. According to labiffilmhouse.com, the emphasis is mainly on effect over effect and the goal is to affect you and your spouse in a special way. Focusing on the effect actually gives the video more meaning and depth.
