Dual camera at weddings: the moment and your reaction to it
The couple hired a photographer for the posed shots. What guests can capture is the other layer: the first dance and your table’s reaction, the bouquet toss and the scramble — both sides of the same second.
Short answer: Selfie shoots photos and videos with the front and back cameras at the same time, picture-in-picture, with 50+ vintage camera presets that apply to both. One tap captures both perspectives — no stitching, no second take.
Ideas that work
- Ceremony discreetly: the vows on the back camera, your (quiet, teary) reaction in the corner.
- Film preset for the reception: 35mm look makes phone shots sit nicely next to the pro album.
- Guest-cam duty: dual video messages for the couple — the venue and the well-wisher in one take.
How to set it up
- Open Selfie in Dual mode (the default).
- Drag the picture-in-picture window to the corner you want, and pick a frame color if you like.
- Optionally pick a camera preset — 35mm film, instant, VHS and 50+ more render live on both cameras.
- Tap the shutter for a photo, or switch to video mode and record with sound.
Frequently asked questions
Are the two views taken at exactly the same time? Yes. Selfie runs both cameras in one capture session using Apple’s multi-cam engine, so front and back are exposed simultaneously — not one after the other.
Can I record video this way? Yes — dual video records both cameras at once, with microphone audio.
Can I choose which camera is the big view? Yes, and the small window can sit in any corner, with a choice of frame colors.
What does it cost? Selfie is free to download and try. The Pro subscription (weekly or annual) unlocks unlimited dual-camera shots and all premium presets.
