My wedding was beautiful. I had made all the plans and when that special day arrived, I was more than a little stressed. I was so occupied with what came next that when the event was over it seemed like a cloud in my head. Thank goodness for that wedding video!
A wedding video includes all your wedding bliss and you will want one that is professionally filmed and edited with poise. It captures the ambiance and emotions of your special day where pictures cannot.
It can be difficult to choose the right wedding videographer. Take a look at their previous work. Don’t just look at one demo, ask to see a full wedding as this way you will be able to see the DVD menu and all parts of the package instead of just the company’s best work on offer.
Make sure that the cameras used are professional 3-chip cameras. It is not the size of the camera that counts but the quality of the video that it produces.
Don’t base your choice on the cost of the video as this will only result in regret. A great video takes time to put together. Remember that for a quality video you are paying for a lot of time and effort.
Two cameras will result in a much better video. Sometimes the unexpected occurs during a wedding … everyone stands as the bride and groom kiss. If there are two cameras, you are likely to have that kiss recorded. Two cameras also allow for beautiful close ups like a little touch between the couple or a tearful father. One camera usually means one long shot of the event.
Communication is a key factor. You want to work with someone who can answer all your questions and find out exactly how you want your video to look. Is creativity your goal or are you more interested in reality? Some videos take out most of the audio and put beautiful shots to music, but leave special heartfelt phrases out … little words that mean so much in years to come.
I wish you the very best in your search and congratulate you in looking into a way to cherish your special day for the rest of your life!
