What’s in our camera bag?
Let’s be real: anyone can whip out an iPhone and hit “record.”
But you didn’t plan a show-stopping Charleston wedding just to have it filmed like a middle school band concert.
At Pure Image Videography, we use pro-level gear that captures every tear, toast, and Taylor Swift dance break in cinematic, crystal-clear quality—so your wedding film looks like it belongs on the big screen.
Here’s what’s actually in our camera bag—and why it matters for your wedding:
Sony a6400
These are our go-to cameras for ceremony and reception coverage. Think of them as the Beyoncé of cameras: they hit every angle flawlessly.
Why We Love Them:
Lightning-fast autofocus (so we never miss that look you give each other)
Gorgeous 4K video quality
Compact enough to stay stealthy—not distracting during intimate moments
Amazing in low light (hello, candlelit receptions!)
Sony FDR-AX100
This is our steady workhorse. We often set it up for ceremony coverage—wide, clean, and reliable.
Why It’s a Star:
1-inch sensor = beautiful detail and clarity
Built-in ND filter for sunny Charleston days (no blown-out skies!)
Fantastic zoom for capturing ceremony moments discreetly
GoPro Hero 7
Yes, even GoPros have a seat at the cinematic table—especially when we want creative, up-close, or unexpected angles.
These little guys are perfect for:
Getting cool setup or behind-the-scenes shots
Capturing the dance floor from a low-profile view
Discreet “hidden” angles for full ceremony coverage
Tascam DR-10L
These tiny recorders are the unsung heroes of emotional wedding audio. We mic the bride, groom, and officiant so every whisper, vow, and laugh is captured clearly.
Benefits Brides Love:
Crystal-clear audio of your vows (even over wind or background noise)
Tiny and clip-on—no bulky equipment ruining your look
No interference from cell phones or reception mic systems
Tascam Portacapture X8
Our main audio recorder for ambient sound and backup audio. Basically, it hears what everyone else misses.
Why We Trust It:
Studio-quality multi-track audio recording
Perfect for live musicians, crowd reactions, and natural ceremony sound
Gives us redundancy (which means peace of mind)
DJI Mavic Pro Drone
Cue the drama. When we pull out the drone, it’s because your wedding is just that epic.
Why You’ll Love It:
Stunning aerial shots of Charleston venues, coastlines, and historic charm
Smooth, cinematic footage from the sky
Gives your film a truly big-budget feel
So Why Does All This Matter to You?
Because while your day might fly by in a blur of “I do” and “is this the cha-cha slide?”, we’re quietly working behind the scenes—capturing every magical second with professional equipment that doesn’t miss a moment.
You won’t just watch your wedding film.
You’ll feel it.
