Wedding
Videography - When getting it right on the 1st
take counts hire a professional
by Jay Corrao - Copyright 2005
Getting
married is one of the most stressful events
anyone will ever endure. So many details and
preparations go into the making of a successful
wedding. Often one of the most overlooked
aspects of wedding preparation is hiring a
wedding videographer. Many couples think they
can cut a few corners by having uncle Charlie or
aunt Mary video their wedding. They've had a
camcorder for a long time; they must know what
they are doing right? And what the heck it's
free!

But then
you watch the video and the memories you
had just aren't coming across the way you
remember them; or at least you didn't get
see sick during the real thing. Don't get
me wrong there are plenty of relatives and
friends who could probably do a half way
decent job but why take the chance? This
is your wedding, your big day, and you
only get one shot at it. When getting it
right on the first take counts you really
should not settle for anything less than a
professional wedding videographer to
capture your precious event.
Professional wedding videographers
understand the nature of the wedding
service and know the ins and outs of
capturing all of the important moments.
They also know the dynamics of working
with the people involved in your wedding,
including the clergy, photographer and
others. I don't know how many times a
photographer has told me they missed a
good shot because aunt Mary was in the
way. More often though I hear from clergy
about the uncle Charlie's that crossed the
line of propriety several times by not
abiding by the rules of the venue or
understanding the sanctity of the church.
Being a professional wedding videographer
takes more than just knowing how to run a
camcorder, get great footage or capture
excellent audio. A good wedding
videographer is able to make you and your
party feel entirely at ease by being as
unobtrusive and transparent as possible.
They are able to work with you to find out
what is important to you. What types of
camera angles you like, what parts of the
ceremony and reception are absolutely
essential to capture, what effects if any
you would like applied in edit, and so on.
They know how to meet your expectations
and create a finished product that you
will be proud to share with family and
friends. |
Many couples do
not understand the value of a wedding
videographer until they see someone else's
professionally shot and edited video and by then
it's already too late. When you consider how
much time the average person spends in front of
the television, having a video of your wedding
starts to make a lot of sense.
Whatever you're feelings are about hiring a
professional wedding videographer, you owe to
yourself to at least make a few calls and ask
some questions. It could be one of the best
decisions you ever make.
