There are many reasons why you may wish to live stream your wedding<\/strong>, or help a loved one to set up a live wedding feed.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you have guests that are unable to attend due to illness, or distance? Maybe you want a more intimate day that guests can still feel a part of? Whatever the reason, having a stream, live for guests who aren’t there in person, is a fantastic way to involve them. But also for you to feel the connection with those you wish to be a part of your day.<\/p>\n

Now, there is an ingenious app that can easily help you to achieve a reliable and functional live stream. What is it I hear you ask, let me introduce you to… EventLive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How To Live Stream Your Wedding – Step-By-Step<\/h2>\n

1. Choose Your Platform<\/h3>\n

Firstly, it’s a good idea to decide how you want to stream. There are many options, which may be hard to figure out, full of faff or just plain complicated – even if they turn out to be a free option. You need to decide if you are willing to potentially risk the platform or app you choose not to deliver on the video footage.<\/p>\n

An app such as EventLive<\/a>, a dedicated live streaming app is an ideal option. The app, available on App Store and Google Play is suitable for most devices and it has hundreds<\/em> of glowing reviews online. What I love though is that you can download it for absolutely free, to test and try it out before<\/em> your wedding. So until you are happy there is no initial investment and there is nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

    2. Choose Your Equipement<\/h3>\n

    The best way to stream your event is with a device with Wifi\/4G\/5G capabilities. And the easiest way to do this is with a tablet or smartphone. There is no need to fork out hundreds on a professional kit. Simply use an up-to-date device you already own, that’s reliable and is compatible with an app such as EventLive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    It’s a good idea to choose a stand or gimbal to ensure a steady picture. A gimbal is ideal if you’d like non-wobbly footage to capture each element of the ceremony. Perhaps an angle of the wedding party members walking down the aisle and another of the guests in attendance too as you move the device around?<\/p>\n

    \"Live<\/p>\n

    If the ceremony is in the dark, consider lighting, if it’s raining and your ceremony is outdoors, perhaps you could use a covered area\/parasol to place the device under. Don’t forget battery life! Can you charge your device as it’s filming? Or perhaps a power bank would be useful.<\/p>\n

    For extra special audio, could a microphone be used, especially for the couple?<\/p>\n
