They create wedding films that allow you to relive moments of joy and tenderness by simply pressing play. We meet up with the dynamic duo helming Beyond Pictures for a chat about how exactly they create poignant wedding videos.<\/i><\/p><p><b class=\"special\">W<\/b>enkai and Teresa started <a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/wedding_videographers_and_presentations\/beyond_pictures\" target=\"_blank\">Beyond Pictures<\/a> in late 2011, when they discovered their passion for capturing and editing moments of joy and love and weaving them into a narrative told through film. The two of them complement each other with their personalities and strengths. Teresa is bubbly and outgoing, and she connects easily with people. She admits that this connection sometimes causes her to tear up when she edits wedding footage during her job as Chief Editor. Wenkai is a sensitive soul, and the Chief Cinematographer brings a calming influence on flustered brides. Trained in the art of filming, Wenkai believes that wedding videos should capture the organic happenings of a wedding day, so that no special moments are lost through posturing. Wenkai and Teresa are supported by associate teams of other videographers and editors.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beyond-Pictures-Wedding-Videography-2.jpg\" alt=\"Beyond Pictures Wedding Videography 2\"><p>When asked about their particular style, the couple reply that what\u2019s most important to them is capturing the moments that, together, create a couple\u2019s unique story and showcase their personalities. Wenkai elaborates, \u201cOur approach is to try to grab things that happen naturally. We believe that everything sums up to become the wedding itself.\u201d For Beyond Pictures, each moment of a wedding day is very precious, because it happens only once in a lifetime. Instead of aiming for an ideal wedding video by getting couples to pose or attempt certain styles, the videographers try to let things unfold as naturally as possible on the wedding day. \u201cWe are looking more at the emotions, the candid moments,\u201d Teresa tells me passionately. \u201cThe significant moments to us are things like a simple glance between a groom and a bride, or the little actions that tell their story.\u201d The team loves capturing natural reactions between the \u2018sisters,\u2019 emotional outbursts by relatives, and couples simply being themselves.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beyond-Pictures-Wedding-Videography-1.jpg\" alt=\"Beyond Pictures Wedding Videography 1\"><p>Rather than having a particular style or formula for their videos, Beyond Pictures takes pains to understand each couple and showcase their personalities. They try their best to meet couples before shooting, and get to know them and their preferences, so that they can craft a film that reflects their characters. Wenkai shares, \u201cWe like to see the chemistry between every couple. Their personal moments, such as the exchange of vows, of even the feeding each other of the tang yuan.\u201d To them, these are the moments that allow others a glimpse into the couple\u2019s love story, and what sum up to create a meaningful wedding film.<\/p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/102744796?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><p>So how do they achieve such natural and personal wedding videos? \u201cWe want everything that is true to the heart,\u201d Teresa says. \u201cNot so much of people\u2019s input, but what you really feel. We try not to stop the momentum. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t like to pose them during parts of the wedding, such as the tea ceremony or the veiling. We don\u2019t keep stopping them.\u201d By letting the bridal couple and their loved ones be themselves, Beyond Pictures captures moments that are pure and real. \u201cCertain moments, if you were to intrude, then they would be lost,\u201d Wenkai explains. To allow couples to fully experience each poignant moment of their wedding day, the videographers try to be as unobtrusive as possible. Avoiding too much direction or intrusion, the videographers are constantly at the ready to capture precious moments as they unfold. They also have to be able to assess situations quickly, to know where to focus for the best coverage.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beyond-Pictures-Wedding-Videography-3.jpg\" alt=\"Beyond Pictures Wedding Videography 3\"><p>Behind the scenes, these moments are carefully selected by the video editors to create the wedding films. In Beyond Pictures, the videographers and editors maintain their separate roles to give the footage the advantage of two creative perspectives. Teresa explains that the editors watch all the footage taken during the wedding, and then pull out snippets and moments to craft the couple\u2019s narrative. \u201cEach video is different, because of the differences in each couple\u2019s characters,\u201d she shares. \u201cIt\u2019s about creating the video that belongs only to the couple.\u201d Employing their storytelling skills, the editors weave the captured moments into unique films that preserve memories for a lifetime.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Beyond-Pictures-Wedding-Videography-4.jpg\" alt=\"Beyond Pictures Wedding Videography 4\"><p>Preserving such moments is what they love most about what they do. Teresa remembers one particular bride who was sure that her groom wouldn\u2019t be able to pen more than half a page for their letter exchange, and when she received her letter, opened it to find two full pages of his thoughts and feelings. \u201cI remember the moment when she opened it. That moment I teared, actually. When she was reading it, I could feel the emotion,\u201d she says. \u201cThat is the kind of thing that we treasure a lot, and that is what pushes us on and why we are still so passionate about weddings.\u201d Two years since Beyond Pictures began, the team says that their direction is still the same\u2014capturing authentic moments and real personalities.<\/p><p class=\"special\">View more of Beyond Pictures\u2019 wedding videography <a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/wedding_videographers_and_presentations\/beyond_pictures\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, or contact them at +65 8233 7399 or info@beyondpictures.sg.<\/p><hr \/><p><i>Credits: Images are from Lightbox Weddings; feature image cropped from original.<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beyond Pictures is a wedding cinematography crew that aims to capture the dynamism of a love story that often eludes photographs.
