The newly married couple proceeds to sign a register right after exchange of the rings. Take your spot in front of the signing table, most likely next to the photographer. Make sure there is no bouquet or other obstacles between the camera and the register book.
The bride signs the register first. You may start from the shot including bride signing the book, groom standing by his bride and the priest or the minister on the opposite side.
It is sufficient to videotape one signature for each person.
To avoid jump cut, use transitions. For example: using three shot for the bride signing the book as an opening shot of the segment, stop rolling after the bride completes first signature. Frame on groom’s face and start rolling when he starts taking a seat to sign a register. Let him put his first signature, then stop your camera, zoom out wide to see the bride, the groom, the priest, the best man and the maid of honor, all five people around the table. Start rolling after the best man goes to the table to sign the register, and so on.
