The candle lighting is getting more and more popular at the wedding ceremonies, and the married couples want to see that captured on tape.
For the candle lighting ceremony three candles, two smaller ones and a big one in between, set on the altar. The groom and the bride approach the altar, each receiving already lit candles from the priest. They light small candles sitting on the table and leave the big one unlit. Wait until the end of the marriage ceremony; we’ll get to it.
If you are allowed to move around, position yourself behind the candles, so you can see the married couple’s faces. If not, still try to include as much as possible in your shot.
Without rolling, zoom in and focus on candles, then zoom out and start rolling wide, following the bride and the groom approaching the candle set. Let them start lighting the candles, and then slowly zoom in on fire. If you get it - you are on fire.
