Q. Why should I have my wedding videotaped? A. Video is the ONLY way to capture the most important day of your life...the sights...sounds...and motion. You WILL want to relive this day. You WILL want to see important friends and family members as they were on that day. You WILL want to see the look on your husband's face as you walked down the aisle. You WILL want to see how you looked in your wedding dress. And, you future children WILL want to watch their parents' wedding. Q. How important is it to hire a professional instead of using a friend to videotape my wedding? A. VITALLY IMPORTANT! The problem starts with the equipment. The typical camcorder used by an amateur produces poor image in low light. Most churches and reception halls have low light. The sound quality you get from a typical video camera is muddy and can be very difficult to hear. The typical amateur doesn't have the means to edit the video into a tightly-knit production that tells your love story with emotion and impact. Q. Is it expensive to hire a professional wedding videographer? A. A professional wedding video will cost only a fraction of your reception and yet, it is priceless! With the exception of your still photography, your video is all you've got left long after your wedding is over. Q. How do I find a good wedding videographer? A. Word of mouth is a good place to start. Ask friends who they would recommend. Ask to see their video. Never contract a videographer until you've previewed his/her work. Every videographer develops a style which is unique. Find a videographer whose work you like. If you like it, proceed to discussions about your budget and what you'd like to see included in your video. If you don't like the style, move on no matter how low the price. Remember, no price is a good price if you don't like the finished piece. Q. How do I know if a wedding videographer is up to speed on the latest trends, equipment and effects in the industry? A. Ask them if they belong to an industry trade association and if they attend national industry conventions. It is in these forums whre the hottest new ideas emerge. Q. Do I need two cameras? A. Two cameras ARE better than one. But, they cost more. A two-camera production gives two different views of the same event to make your video much more interesting. A good editing job ties the two cameras together to make your wedding video a compelling story. Check with your videographer on camera options. If your budget allows it, it is worth it. Q. Are deposits required and is it typical for a deposit to be non-refundable? A. Yes! Typically, once the date is set, the crew is assigned and the day is yours. A deposit assures the videographer and you that your date is confirmed. Frequently, business is turned away once a date has been reserved. Q. How much time goes into creating a wedding video? A. Typically, a good wedding videographer puts 20 to 40 hours into a single video. These professionals work hard and earn their money. You will get more than your money's worth when you hire a quality wedding videographer.
