Why Have A Wedding Videographer?
Your wedding is the event of a lifetime. Families come together to witness the public expression of your love and commitment amidst the beauty and pageantry of your carefully planned ceremony. As you are well aware, planning this is no small task. You only get one chance to get it right and you've spent months going over every tiny detail.
You've struggled with the guest list; trying to book just the right date; ordering wedding invitations; selecting your bridesmaids and groomsmen...and the list goes on and on. Just choosing a wedding dress was a monumental task, but it was worth it because you've found a gown that surpasses all your dreams. The stress can be overwhelming but you don't mind because you want your big day to be perfect!
Nevertheless, making all these arrangements is very expensive. And if you're on a budget, like many couples today are, you may find yourself coming up short for some things you were counting on having...such as a professional wedding video. With professional wedding video services costing anywhere from £500 - £2500+, some couples are just throwing up their hands and saying "forget it" and resigning themselves to being happy with what friends or relatives shoot with their personal video cameras.
It is true anyone can use a video camera. However it takes something special to create a professional wedding video. Today, you see video cameras everywhere. You can even shoot video with your phone. Video cameras are designed to easily use...you turn the camera on, point and shoot. Therefore, couples wanting to save money, or well-intentioned relatives with a new video camera who decide that shooting a wedding video is a breeze. However, the end results are usually disappointing.
More and more people are having their wedding day filmed as it has the irreplaceable capability to let you experience again the sensations of a day that can often just fly by. It allows you to see the expressions of people at your wedding, your partner's smile as you see each other for the first time and of course, hearing your vows again. These are just some of the moments that you can replay repeatedly and they will take you straight back the day you spent months and years planning. The joy of film? You don’t just see a smile on someone’s face; you witness and hear how it got there!
Whoever you end up choosing make sure of a couple of things:
1. They are Professional Wedding Videographers but that you get along with them
2. They hold Professional Indemnity & Public Liability Insurance Cover
3. They use Professional Cameras, not just ones bought from Currys!
4. They are Members of Institute of Videography - ideally
5. They are licensed to allow you to pick the music you really want on the DVD
Your DVD isn’t just about the ceremony; it is a complete event of the day - a once in a lifetime day is captured forever. Those precious moments, the ambience, the emotions, the laughter and the tears, saved forever, for you to re-live over and over. Vibrant recollections and sounds that you can share with family and friends. See all those things you would not normally observe; the arrival of the groom and his entourage, the entrance of the bridesmaids and of course, the bride!!
At a wedding fayre, a presenter said: "I am holding two boxes. One contains your great-grandparents' wedding photos, and the other contains their wedding video. You can open only one. Which do you choose?" The audience choice was unanimous, to the surprise of some- everyone chose the video”.
