A Wedding Video Doesn't Really need to Be High-priced

By Robin Mills


Your wedding ceremony is one of the most notable days of your life, so why not make a wedding party video for posterity? A video will permit you not only to relive this most exceptional day of your life but also to share it with your children and grandchildren. The DVD may even be used as a wedding souvenir that might later be sent to family and friends. Though wedding videography can be expensive, it doesn't should try to be a budget-breaker if you decide beforehand what features you want your wedding video to have.

As an example, do you want your wedding videography to have elaborate music scoring or visual effects or are you content with having a basic home movie-type wedding videography with minimal editing? Deciding on the form of wedding video that you want to have will also determine the type of wedding videographer you will hire to cover your wedding.

If your budget is large sufficient, you may hire a professional wedding videographer to give you slick-searchingwedding videography complete with captions and dissolves, and will edit your wedding video on high-end editing suites. However, this will cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. On the other hand, you will grab a polished wedding video that you may take pride in, complete with a in particular-designed DVD cover and label. If your resources are more modest, you may still find a wedding videographer who will do a competent job for you. The church where the ceremony is being held, for example, may have a member of the staff who may do wedding videography. A friend or a relative with a video camera can also be willing to act as a wedding videographer for the wedding.

When you're selecting a wedding videographer, whenever possible you really need to take time to interview them to see if you feel comfortable working with them; if possible you must also ask for samples of their past work to see if their wedding videography style fits with your thoughts for your video.

Also make sure that the wedding videographer has the right equipment to do a high-quality job. The camera they will be using have to be a current model that can shoot in HD. They should try to also have all the necessary mics to capture the sounds of the wedding, including a lapel mic so that your vows might be heard on the wedding video. You might also want to meet with the videographer at the venue beforehand to discuss with them how they will do the wedding videography.

The bottom line, however, when selecting a wedding videographer is not to let price be the main consideration. Commit to memory that your wedding ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime event and so you want your wedding video to capture all the joy of the day.
