Why Choose Video?
Professional videography saves and protects life's most precious and beautiful moments-as they actually happened. And what is more important to hold precious than the sights and sounds from the most important day of your life-your wedding day! Because the event goes by so quickly, capturing all of the activities of your ceremony and reception on video will mean your wedding will be preserved for you and your family now, and most importantly, for all the generations ahead.
How important is a professionally produced wedding video? Suppose a friend told you they had in one hand a book of professional photos of the day your grand parents were married, and in their other hand a professionally produced video of that same day, in full color, with stereo sound, but that you could only choose one to view and keep as a family heirloom. Which would you choose? Today, thanks to new developments in digital technology and the advanced skills of professional videographers, your choices in professional wedding videography are unlimited!
Only video (and now DVD) will allow everyone to relive your wedding day as it actually happened, to see you walk down the aisle, to hear your voices as you exchange vows and rings, to hear and see the toasts, the music, your first dance to the reception . . .and the chance to preserve the complete story of your wedding. This wasn't possible in the past.
Choose a videographer by their skills, experience, style, and techniques in both shooting and editing that will immediately capture your attention as well as the distinguishing differences you will notice in their work. This is why it is virtually impossible to shop by price alone when selecting your videographer. Professional wedding videography is an artistic, not a mechanical medium. Videographers shoot and edit video differently.
Tips on choosing a videographer:
• The person you are talking to on the phone when you sign up for a wedding video is the person that will actually be shooting at the event - that is the person you have told what is most important to you, not hired help.
• Make sure your videographer wants to get to know you and what you are looking for in a video - if they don't ask too many questions about what you would like in your video, this is a questionable videographer.
• Pick a videographer you feel comfortable with, one that you can imagine being with you during the special getting ready moments before the wedding.
• Always see samples of work produced by the videographer who will be recording your event.
There is just one chance to be sure all of the emotions, the love and laughter are preserved for you to share again and again, maybe that is why today professional videographers have become as natural a part of the wedding as the photographer!
