The camera you use for a wedding stream should be unobtrusive, reliable, and capable of producing a clean, well-lit image. Here are the best options at different budgets.
Smartphones
A modern smartphone on a small tripod is the most accessible option. The quality is more than adequate for online viewing, and the form factor is discreet enough not to distract from the ceremony.
Use a streaming app and connect to Wi-Fi or mobile data. Keep the phone plugged in to avoid battery death mid-ceremony.
Camcorders
A consumer camcorder gives you optical zoom, long battery life, and a flip-out screen for monitoring. Position it at the back of the venue and zoom in to frame the ceremony area.
Connect via HDMI to a laptop running OBS, or use a camcorder with built-in streaming capability.
Mirrorless cameras
For a premium look, a mirrorless camera with a fast lens produces beautiful shallow depth-of-field footage. The couple is in sharp focus while the background softens attractively.
The downside is cost, overheating risk, and the need for a capture card to get the video into your streaming software. This is the choice for professional wedding streamers.
