Tanner & Michelle
A floral arch big enough to change the whole frame. Sound on.
Built for one angle.
Tanner and Michelle were married at the Bel-Air Bay Club beneath one of the largest ceremony arches we have filmed, blush and cream and thick enough to read as architecture rather than decoration.
An installation that size changes how a ceremony has to be shot. It frames the couple beautifully from straight on and it blocks almost everything from the sides.
Notes on the place.
Large floral installations are increasingly common and they are a mixed blessing on film. Straight down the aisle they are spectacular. From either side they become a wall, and a second camera placed where it would normally sit ends up shooting the back of a hedge. When a couple has an arch like this we place the second angle much wider and lower than usual, and we take the vows tight from the front rather than trying to work around the flowers.
