What to expect from your Videographer

Why do we need a professional videos

When it comes to our wedding, I know that I want lots and lots of fabulous photos to capture our day. What about a videos????? don't worry uncle bob has a video camera ?

But i think we should hire someone professional, i don't want my wedding video ruined

Just remember when you return form your honeymoon, you will have the dress, the cake, the photo, imagine sitting down with some wine and reliving your special day with a video, you will think money well spent

A good Videographer will capture so many things during the filming of a wedding, particularly moments where the bride/groom and the guests do not even know that the camera is rolling – this is what we refer to as unobtrusive filming, where we hide in the background and record what is happening for you to watch later

Paying for a professional Videographer to film your wedding day will ensure that each precious moment is captured without any glitches or those all important moments are not missed.

Filming a wedding is not the easiest of tasks to undertake as they can be unpredictable and not just a case of turning the camera onto record, theirs is so much more to it than that.

It is down to the individual to research, view and watch as many samples, chat to find a professional videographer that they are comfortable with and one that can do what has been asked to do.

A Videographer will always show their best work! Most professional Videographers will use broadcast quality video cameras and a good sound recording system.

The footage then will be edited to a professional standard. By letting a professional capture your day on film, this then takes the pressure off the couple and their filming volunteer leaving them to and all enjoy the celebrations and the emotions of the day knowing that the filming is in safe hands and that nothing will have been missed.

Many Videographers will have a number of options to choose from allowing the couple to select a video package that their budget will allow.

One factor that often gets forgotten about is, its not just the filming on the day (sometimes over 12 hours), it’s the pre-wedding planning, attending rehearsals, visits to the venue, its surprising how the hours soon mount up.

Then once the day is over the editing begins and this is very complex when using a professional editing suite. DVDs these days should have smooth transitions and of course continuity. 12/14 hours of footage needs to be condensed into a DVD of just 1-2 hours. It can take over 60 hours of work to complete a DVD to a high standard plus designing the DVD cover and the DVD label.

One last thought on pricing, don’t put the price before quality – it is definitely worth paying that little bit more than have disappointment.
Most Videographers can accommodate a wide range of budgets and as such pricing is subject to many factors such as the area where the Videographer is based, the equipment used, business overheads and their experience.

A full time Videographer will charge more than one that does it as a hobby as he/she needs to make a living from what they do and they will also be fully insured!

Remember you will be paying for the very best, its a once of a lifetime experience, do you really want to put you faith in uncle bob????
