After everybody is done greeting the newly married couple and wishing them well, after the group photo is taken, the couple will leave for the photo shoot, for the reception, for the honeymoon, or just to take some rest and enjoy each other.
This moment is important as a closure for the ceremony segment of your video. If the couple is leaving in the limo, the chauffeur may offer them Champagne. Shoot the bottle, the cork being crack open, wine being poured into nice glasses, new husband and wife cheering up and giving each other a kiss. You may need to direct them as well.
Get a shot of the couple getting into the car. Shoot from the door side so you could see their faces rather than their backs. You might as well ask the driver to roll down the window just for that shot. If it is not too awkward to get inside of the limo without tearing wedding dress apart, try that. Get the shot of the happy couple and their friends inside the limo. Most people don’t ride limos very often, so it will be appropriate to show the significance of the moment.
Let the driver know that you are going to get a shot of the limo leaving the spot. If the limo has that “Just married” sign on the rear, you may start on the close up of that sign. Start zooming out after the car goes.
You may start on the front of the car, low angle. Let the limo drive by to discover the church and the crowd waving good bye to the couple.
