How To Mic A Bride At A Wedding 👰 (EASIER THAN YOU THINK!)

Today I'll be showing you how to mic a bride on a wedding day! Don't worry, it's not as intimidating as you may think. You're also about to see footage from us mic-ing the bride's dress at a real wedding, as well as examples of how much better her audio sounds.

Pro Tip: Communicate and don't be awkward! It will only be awkward if you make it awkward. Ask one of the girls to help if need be. They are a reflection of you and the energy you bring.

I've been micing up the bride since finding your channel and filming my third wedding. I am addicted to the crisp sound of the audio. IT IS SOO WORTH IT

I’ve looked for a solution like this for years! Finally, this is the one that’s practical and easy to execute. Thank you!

This works like a charm and I've used this method pretty much since I first saw this video! But I had to come back to say that last Saturday, I shot a wedding where the bride's dress was so freakin' tight that there was absolutely no way to hide the cord.... But I've been doing this in tons of weddings and it's the first time it didn't work. Thanks for upping the quality of my videos so much with your fantastic advice, Matt!

I just got the DJI MIC 2, and I really need this right now thank you !!! I got a wedding this weekend

[DeputatKaktus]

Thanks for revealing that neat trick. Turns out I am still thinking far too complicated. In your review I was guessing things like hiding mics in the bride‘s hair (as they sometimes do in musicals) and stuff like that. But this actually makes perfect sense.

Great information, thanks for the video Matt! I looked into mic-ing brides when I first started shooting weddings about 4 years ago now. I bought a similar thigh strap, but I had my wife test it by walking around the house and it slid right off. Have you run into any issues like that? The fear of the mic falling down as she's walking down the aisle was enough reason for me to abandon the idea, but I may have to revisit it before next season. The results speak for themselves. Thanks again!

We’ve been doing this all year. Works great! And our brides have been totally on board.

This video will now be mandatory for my future brides to watch 😂😂 thanks Matt!

Thanks for the pro tips Matt! I just bought two white tascam DR 10Ls in white from B&H in hopes to mic the bride.

[JamieHines]
