Rime Arodaky Velvetine Collection at New York Bridal Week 2024

Oh, what a week it was MCK Films! The New York Bridal Week Fashion Show 2024 sparkled like never before, bringing together the glitz, glamour, and sheer artistry of bridal fashion. Held in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, this event was a dream come true for designers, wedding enthusiasts, and, of course, yours truly—a videographer with a passion for capturing magic through the lens. This year, I had the absolute honor of collaborating with the fabulous Rime Arodaky to showcase her jaw-dropping Velvetine Collection. Let me take you behind the scenes and share how I helped bring her vision to life!

Bringing the Runway to Life Through Film

Lights, camera, action! New York Bridal Week is the ultimate playground for a videographer like me. From opulent floral installations to shimmering lighting, the venues were straight out of a fairy tale. But working with Rime Arodaky’s Velvetine Collection? That took the experience to a whole new level. My mission was to weave her bold, modern designs into a visual story that dazzled and delighted—and I loved every second of it.

Capturing Trends with a Cinematic Touch

What’s better than a runway filled with the latest bridal trends? Filming it all! Here’s how I turned New York Bridal Week 2024’s top trends—and Rime Arodaky’s stunning Velvetine Collection—into a video masterpiece:

1. Regal Elegance: Think dramatic trains, intricate lace, and glittering embellishments. I zoomed in to catch every stunning detail and panned out for those sweeping, cinematic shots of models owning the runway.
2. Bold Colors: Iridescent finishes, soft metallics, and champagne gold brought the wow-factor this year. With a little post-production magic, I made sure those hues popped beautifully without overpowering the natural tones.
3. Eco-Friendly Fashion: Sustainable gowns with rich textures deserved their moment in the spotlight. Gentle lighting and smooth camera transitions were key to capturing their organic beauty.
4. Modern Silhouettes: Sleek and chic! I used dynamic angles and smooth tracking to show off the sharp cuts and asymmetrical designs that screamed contemporary sophistication.
5. Statement Accessories: Oversized veils, dramatic capes, and gorgeous lace? Yes, please! Slow-motion close-ups made these show-stoppers shine.

Designer Highlights

Working with the best in bridal fashion was a thrill beyond words. Here are some unforgettable moments:

• Rime Arodaky’s Velvetine Collection: Oh, the joy of filming Rime’s Velvetine Collection! Her chic, modern designs blended bold cuts and innovative textures. Using a mix of steady tracking shots and intimate close-ups, I highlighted the elegance and movement of each piece.
• Vera Wang: Vera’s avant-garde creations? Total show-stoppers.
• Marchesa: Ethereal gowns with cascading florals called for sweeping shots that captured their dreamy flow and intricate embroidery.
• Monique Lhuillier: The sparkle of Monique’s beadwork was pure magic under the lights. I timed every shot to catch those perfect glittering moments.

Key Moments: Beyond the Runway

New York Bridal Week isn’t just about the runway—it’s the energy, the excitement, the behind-the-scenes magic! Celebrity sightings, candid moments, and the designers’ triumphant bows were all part of the story. This year, stars like Blake Lively, Priyanka Chopra, and Anna Wintour graced the front row, and my discreet filming techniques captured their reactions naturally.

A surprise performance by a live orchestra was another highlight. Wide-angle views and intimate close-ups came together to showcase the enchanting fusion of music and fashion.

How I Prep for Perfect Runway Coverage

Filming events like this is no small feat, but with the right prep, it’s nothing short of exhilarating! Here’s my go-to game plan:

1. Camera Placement: Strategic angles are everything. Multiple cameras ensured every detail—from head-on shots to fluid side views—was covered.
2. Lighting Coordination: I worked hand-in-hand with the lighting crew to ensure every gown glowed, every accessory sparkled, and every model shone.
3. Rehearsals: Practice makes perfect! Watching rehearsals helped me anticipate pacing and capture key moments effortlessly.
4. Sound Design: Let’s not forget the ambient magic—orchestra tunes, the rustle of fabric, and the applause—it’s all part of the story.
