Videographers

Having a video of your celebrations will enable you to relive the best day of your lives again and again. A video will relive all those special memories and emotions you experienced, enable you to relive the parts you remember and also see things you didn’t see for yourselves.

A professional Videographer will produce a unique film that will savour the atmosphere of the day and relive those intimate moments where you made your vows to dedicate your life to each other.

An important factor to remember is that there is a world of difference between a professionally made video to broadcast quality, and an amateur video made by friends and family. Both play an important role within the wedding proceedings, but they also produce very different results.

Whilst the amateur video taken by family and friends will make you laugh and add a sense of fun to your collection of memories, they are likely to miss some of the important parts of your day and will have shots of heads in the way, or long pauses of nothing happening. This may cause disappointment and you may regret not hiring a Videographer. Hiring a professional will mean the production of a digitally mastered, polished video that captures a stylish visual record and the magical sounds of the day such as the laughter, ringing of bells, intimate words of your vows, and the fun and celebrations at the reception and party.

It is a good idea to ask the Videographer to film behind the scenes shots such as the nerves, the bride and bridesmaids getting ready, and the bridegroom with the groomsmen before he gets to the church, as you will be able to view this afterwards and see each others expressions and the very beginning of your partners wedding day that you otherwise wouldn’t have seen.

When booking a Videographer choose carefully, and act swiftly as they are always in popular demand. Think about meeting the Videographer in their studio or ask to view their most recent wedding portfolios as this will give you a good idea of the type of film they produce.

It is a good idea to look at advertisements, in magazines and on the internet . Also to ask for recommendations from friends and family, as you need a Videographer who is professional and experienced, who you can rely on as there are no second chances to film.

The Videographer must be approachable and able to fit in with your friends and family so that they are put at ease and don’t feel uncomfortable. A good Videographer should be able to move around without disturbing proceedings and should remain unobtrusive. Many Videographers will visit the venue prior to the day to make sure they know where to position themselves to get the best shots, sound and lighting on the day.

Once you are satisfied with the service they will provide it is important to discuss finances. Make a list of the shots you want filmed such as getting ready, the ceremony, reception and evening party, and then establish what is included in fee and get detailed prices of everything from editing choices, and presentation of videos and DVD’s encased in special boxes, to availability of multiple copies. It is also worth asking whether the Videographer has the facilities to manipulate and edit images to include still shots, black and white film as well as colour, and whether you can personalise the video with your favourite music. Ask how much extra these services will be. Don’t forget to ask about a deposit and when this will be required. It is also a good idea to ask how long it will be before your video is available and get all of these answers in writing. Click Here to see the Weddings With Style Videography Check List.

Weddings-With-Style Tips:

Why not choose that unique gift for family and friends by ordering them a copy of your video. Many videographers will make two versions of your video, a full version for the happy couple, and then an edited version of the best bits for your family and friends, so it is also worth asking about this service.
