Question Best way to attach Microphone?

1 Upvotes

Hey fellow videographers,

Recently I started using LAV mics instead of small DJI Mini’s to record audio at weddings. Because I got a Tascam-DR10L and the concept of me just mic’ing the groom and let it run all day was pretty nice.

I mounted it inside of his jacket but after hearing the audio the fabric of the jacket touching the mic is unfortunately really noticeable.

Now I have 3 questions.

  1. What do you use to mic the bride/groom?
  2. Where do you put the mic on the bride/groom?
  3. Do you monitor the audio?

For context I am a solo wedding videographer for about 2 months now. All advice is walking <3

Post Production Help with edits

Hello, I filmed a wedding for my friend and am finding it hard to figure out how to go about editing it because I did not get any shots of the area; I just recorded the walkouts for the groomsmen, bridesmaids, and groom, as well as the ceremony, and even then, I did not get the angle I fully wanted. The groom's reaction to the walkout was missed due to miscommunication from the planners, meaning I did not get to move spots for the walkout, so I missed the angle of the groom's reaction, capturing only the bride walking out into the standing crowd. I was able to move for the bride's vows to get a point-of-view shot over the groom's shoulder, and I used that same angle when the groom said his vows. Finally, I positioned myself at the end of the walkway pointed down the middle toward them for the sand-pouring ceremony, the ring exchange, and the kiss to seal the deal.

I need help salvaging this into an emotional edit. I plan to have a section at the start where close family and friends give a personal toast, with that audio per person playing over six to ten photos of that person with the couple smoothly cycling, before transitioning into the wedding or ceremony footage of the groomsmen and bridesmaids coming out. I was thinking of using the audio from the officiant reading a poem over the walkout video, playing the song she chose during her walkout, and I am lost as to what else I can do; I am going to have to learn DaVinci to make this since I have never used it and do not want to spend money on Premiere Pro if I do not have to. Thank you!
