The algorithm has just shown me another wedding trend.

Which led me to the question:

Are we filming people, or are we filming trends?

This is part two of a series where I share my thoughts on wedding filmmaking.

Trends are fun. They are cool. They add a little bit of freshness. This is what I'm doing is technically a trend.

But trends are not always timeless.

So whenever a couple asks me to include something that's cool or trendy at the time, here's a simple framework that I use to filter it through.

Firstly, does it fit the couple?

Does it fit their personalities? Is this who they are?

Let's take Super 8 footage, for example.

Some couples are drawn to the nostalgic, almost old-school film feeling of it. But other couples feel that it's not their vibe, and that's completely fine.

Just because something is trendy and works well for others doesn't mean it's right for every story.

The second thing that I'm looking at is: in two, three years, how is this trend going to hold up?

Is it going to enhance the story? Is it going to support the story and make it better?

If the answer is yes, then we go ahead.

But if it's something that just came up on TikTok, then we'd rather pass.

Because when you watch your wedding film, I don't want you to say, "This feels so 2026."

If you watch your wedding film, I want you to say, "This feels exactly like us."

Then we know we've done a good job.

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments section, and follow along for the rest of the series.

I’ve been thinking about why we feel more emotionally connected to some wedding films than others.

I think it has a lot less to do with perfection, and everything to do with honesty.

This is part 1 of a series where I share my thoughts on wedding filmmaking.

For me, the stuff that hits home is the real stuff.

It’s a couple looking at each other during the ceremony, and you just know how much this moment means to them.

The unfiltered chats where they’re so excited to see each other and just reflect a bit about what just happened.

It’s the guy on the dance floor rocking it out with his moonboot, still having a great time.

It’s those moments where you just feel, “Oh my word, I feel you. I see you.”

We connect with that.

Why?

Because it’s honest and it’s truthful.

And here’s the thing about honesty: it’s rarely polished, right?

So sometimes the camera shakes a bit during that moment.

Sometimes we don’t have a clear shot.

But I’d rather include the moment, because the moment matters more than the shot being technically perfect.

And that’s why I think some wedding films hit deeper than others.

Follow for the rest of the series.🤍

Sneak Peak🤍

Wanneer jy na my kyk,
met my praat of na my luister,
voel ek soos die belangrikste
man in die wêreld.
Jy laat my so bietjie meer voel
soos die man wat God
wil hê ek moet word.’

WJ & Mia, ’n liefde is só opreg, en so sonder pretensie.

Wat n joyful dag.

We actually hear this so often.

So many couples almost think the couple shoot is going to take away from the wedding… But it often ends up being one of the most meaningful parts of the day.

Yes the couple shoot is a space where we we get beautiful shots of you.. BUT.. it’s also a moment to pause and just step away from the rush.

It’s a space to just be together, have fun with each other, and take it all in

Something else to note on this, is that this really only happens when there’s space in the timeline. When you allow enough time on your day for your photographer and videographer, these moments get to happen naturally.

Tight timelines sadly don’t help connection.. they just don’t. You end up feeling rushed, moving from point A to B.

So if connection with your person is important to you on the day, and you want that space to actually take it all in, make sure you’re allowing enough time in your timeline for it 🤍

To all the new faces,

This is me! Im Anneke, videographer, and owner of New Vine Media

Some of you know me very well, and others not. You may know what I do, but this is also who I am.

Here you go:

2.⁠ ⁠I think I was always meant to tell stories in some way. Long before wedding timelines, there was this pull toward finding out what is the story behind the person in front of me. I remember how much I loved writing story essays in school, often helping my friends come up with their stories too.. Or filming my dad as he shared what it was like growing up in his hometown. Stories and the richness of people have always fascinated me.

3.⁠ ⁠I have no shame in admitting that I know all every lyric of every song of Mamma Mia (1&2) song. And if i dont know what to watch.. You know what’ll be the go-to😅
4.⁠ ⁠If I could have deep chats the entire day, I would. But we cannot, so now I do the second best thing which is telling stories.
5.⁠ ⁠The desire to go deeper is what led me to start New Vine. I always wanted to tell wedding stories that are not just fleeting, but carry weight. It will always be my desire to tell stories that stay with you. That capture not just what your wedding looked like, but what it meant to you.
6.⁠ ⁠Im married to Wiehan who of course I believe is the best husband in the word. We also often shoot many of the stories we film together
7.⁠ ⁠We have a border collie called Mila who is wild and wonderful and has way too much energy.
8.⁠ ⁠when I’m not filming or editing, you’ll probably find us outside. I love hiking and being in Gods creation..
9.⁠ “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, therefore I will hope in him.” ⁠If anything I love sharing the reason for the hope I have within me. There is only one Name, above every other Name, who is my joy and He is so so faithful.

You are so welcome here. I cannot wait to share more stories with you!

A perfect afternoon spent with Bianca & Harry✨

“Life is not what we imagine
It’s even more beautiful.”

I cannot put this any better than what Taty’s dad said. Life is even more beautiful than our wildest expectations. What an incredible adventure to capture Taty & Pedros love in Mozambique, rain and all!

And also, a moment for Tatys vows,

‘Pedro, to be loved by you
is to be loved completely.
In everything I am,
in every part of me,
even in the parts I myself
didn’t know how to love.’

I always wondered why God had
put me on this path.
And I didn't know why.
I didn't know my why - until I met you.”

So so excited to finally share this incredible two people’s story with you. How lucky are we to tell these stories?

Here’s to a lifetime of joy!

I want to share a story with you about why we always include sound and dialogue in our wedding films.

As I was growing up, my mom used to take films and footage of everything.

We had home footage of birthdays, holidays, ordinary days, anything that had some significance was captured.

And as I was scrolling through this the other day, there was a video that I didn’t know existed.

It was taken at my grandparents’ house. It started playing. And then all of a sudden, I heard my grandma’s voice.

“Jy’s mos vir ouma lief.”

In the moment, I just realised I had forgotten how her voice sounds.

And it was the most beautiful moment for me to just hear her voice again, see her mannerisms, and see how much she cares for her grandchildren.

It was just so wholesome because it was the happiest place we went to when we were kids.

It clicked again.

This is why I’m such an advocate for having sound in your wedding film.

Because there’s nothing that beats a person you know’s voice.

There’s nothing that beats the emotion that a voice carries.

No music can match the emotion of someone on the brink of tears, or the silence as you’re trying to hold the tears back, or your dad or your uncle sharing a funny joke.

This is why I’m such an advocate for sound in a wedding film, and why we always include it.
