What a follow spot does for the photographs
A follow spotlight is one bright, narrow beam that an operator keeps on you as you move. It does two things at once: it tells four hundred guests where to look, and it gives your photographer a clean subject in a dark room instead of a silhouette. Most reception photos that look flat were shot with the house lights up and nothing directing the eye.
The three moments that need it
Your entrance into the reception, your first dance, and the toasts. Those are the three times the room is meant to be watching one thing. It also pairs beautifully with romantic snowfall, because the beam is what makes the falling snow visible on camera.
Will your venue allow it?
Placement is the whole conversation. A follow spot needs a position with a clear view of the floor, often a balcony, a corner or a raised platform, and that is a layout question rather than a fire code one. We check your venue photos before your date so nobody is improvising on the night.
Follow Spotlight questions couples ask
What is a follow spotlight at a wedding?
A follow spotlight is a single narrow beam kept on you as you move, so the room knows where to look and your photographer has a lit subject in a dark room. Weddings Unlimited uses it for the reception entrance, the first dance and the toasts, and it is part of Magic Moments at $395.
Do we need a spotlight for our first dance?
You need it if the room will be dark and you want clean photographs. Without a directed light, a first dance in a dim reception often photographs as a silhouette. A follow spotlight solves that, and it pairs well with the romantic snowfall effect.
How much does a follow spotlight cost?
A follow spotlight is part of Magic Moments at Weddings Unlimited, which is $395 for special effects and lighting added to your wedding, and the price drops when bundled with photography, videography, DJ and MC, photo booth or coordination.
Does the venue need a balcony for a follow spot?
Not necessarily. It needs a position with a clear view of the dance floor, which can be a balcony, a corner or a raised platform. Weddings Unlimited checks your venue layout before your date to find the right spot.
