Wedding Videography - Cherish for a lifetime!

I know. I know. You’re running out of money! But as I’ve said before, skimping on photography/videography shouldn’t be where you tighten the purse strings. After all, everything else is just for the day. This is forever.

If you really want to have some amazing memories of your day, consider a videographer in addition to a regular photographer. Actually, if you can only afford one, I would go with an amazing videographer. Why? Well, they can take all the footage you want from you getting dressed, right through getting into your car to leave for your honeymoon. And don’t forget, you can take the video footage and make still photos out of them.

But here’s my warning! If you do that, make sure there are disposable cameras on each guests table at the wedding. And yes! I do have those on my site! Well, did you think all I carried was unique wedding favors? This is a cutie. You can’t see it here, but it’s “pearlized white” and is a really nice addition to your guests table. Then at least this way, you are sure of getting all the still shots you want of your guests.

Also, don’t forget. With a videographer, you will get a cd of your wedding day, and be able to send it around the world for your family and friends to see. It’s just an up close and personal look at your wedding day, with all the sights and sounds that you really would like to remember.

Just PLEASE remember, you have to find a qualified and reputable videographer that has tons of experience doing weddings. In fact, word of mouth is the best way to hire someone. Don’t hire your cousin’s sister’s best friend’s brother! I promise that you will regret it, and you can never get that day back!

You can add your wedding song to special parts of the video and anything else that you would like to incorporate into it. Also, don’t forget to give him/her a list of people (and what tables they are at) to interview during the reception or prior to or immediately after the ceremony.

By the way, make sure that everything you want is in contract form, signed by you and the videographer. EVERYTHING should be in there including all your special requests for people to be interviewed, what is to be covered during the day, what lighting you want, what you want during the ceremony to be covered, etc. etc. etc. Make sure everything is spelled out perfecting. Don’t forget the first dance, cutting the cake, tossing the bouquet, and any other moments that you want to make sure he gets. This is true even if you are having a photographer as well as a videographer.

Lastly, don’t forget to ask about a guarantee. What if the person you hired has an emergency or can’t make it because of illness? Who replaces them? Are they the same quality videographer? You have to make sure that you have the name and number and email address of both the videographer and the back-up person. The last thing you need is to be worried about this on your wedding day. And really, you should designate someone that is close to you, to be like your wedding consultant. That’s the person that needs to take care of all of this last minute craziness!

Enjoy your day. Everything will be taped and you will be blessed by the results that you will be able to show your kids and grandkids!

Much happiness coming your way,
Bella
