Top 5 things to know about wedding videography

 
  • Your wedding video is a time machine

Statistics show that not having a wedding film is one of the top regrets for newlyweds. Pictures are nice, but watching your fiance choke back tears as they say I do, hearing your best friend give that hilarious toast, or seeing a beloved relative  dancing, and laughing the night away at your wedding is a treasure that is beyond priceless.

 

Think about it like this, you will wear your dream wedding dress for 6-10 hours on your wedding day and spend thousands on venue, flowers, food, all of which to make the day perfect for that one day, but you will watch your wedding film hundreds of times throughout your life. Your children, and their children will also enjoy it many times as well.

Money cannot buy you more time, but film can preserve it for you.

  • Your film should be unique, like you

Videographers and filmmakers have different styles and approaches when it comes to capturing wedding films. The most important creative aspect to crafting a great wedding film is finding the right style for each bride and groom. No two stories are alike and no two films should ever be alike. Your style dictates the color palette, music choices, shot selection, and energy level of your wedding film. A perfect style pairing will make your film feel like you.



 

  • Your wedding film is an investment

Producing a professional film is an expensive business and you should regard cheap quotes with suspicion. Professionals spend years gaining experience and spend thousands on equipment and training. If necessary, make compromises on expenses for things which won't live as long as the film. It's a decision you won't regret.
 
 

  • Equipment and Formats

If you are familiar with video equipment asking what type of video camera will be used might be useful but it's probably not necessary. An average camera in the hands of an expert is better than the most expensive camera operated by an average videographer.

 
  • My friend takes good videos

Anyone can make a video, YouTube is a prime example of how we love to take videos of ourselves and how many secretly want to be a filmmaker. The big problem with having your friend take video is that they may have never shot a wedding before, and do not know where the moments you want captured are going to come from. They could also be distracted by trying to enjoy themselves and miss those special moments. You've only got one shot at capturing your special day, why risk it by choosing an ametuer. A professional wedding videograher not only knows which moments to capture but has the experiace to anticipate when they happen and has the proper equipment set-up to make sure its recorded properly.
