Why you need a professional Wedding Videographer!
October 13, 2009
A wedding video is more than a luxury! On the big-day-of, your wedding is going to whip by in one great big blur for you.. A professional wedding videographer will capture everything that happens during your wedding, and will preserve it forever for you and your family. ”A wedding video is an heirloom you can show your children, and which they can show their children,” says Jeffrey Haney of Lights in the Attic Creative Media. “We often hear from our brides and grooms that their wedding video was the best investment they made on their wedding day.”
Think of it like this: memories fade, and photos are static — they don’t capture the music, laughter, and motion that is the celebratory whirl of your wedding day. Plus, a wedding video will capture for you those special moments that you may have missed. After your wedding is all done and your friends and relatives have gone home, you have your wedding video to relive your special day. You will see the smiles & the tears, hear the laughter, and get the opportunity to enjoy all of those magical moments which you may have otherwise have missed. You will see how your parents react to you saying ?I do? –when at that moment, you only had eyes for your husband. You will see how your groom teared up when he saw you walking down the aisle — when, at the time, you were too busy trying not to cry and trying not to trip. You can watch your friends and family having fun and celebrating your union — when you don?t even remember seeing some of them there. You will see the flower girl going the wrong way down the aisle — and now you know why you heard laughing while you were waiting nervously in the hall. These memories are precious and once it?s over, it?s over. Only a wedding video will capture and preserve these priceless moments for you.
Professional Videographers seem too pricey?
If you are planning on putting a tripod up at your wedding, here are some things to consider: full bright sunlight, a crying baby, coughing, a dark ceremony, lots of beams in the reception hall. Editing itself is an art form both with the video and the audio side (take the hours you filmed and at least triple it for editing). You might not think of this, but professional videographers have dealt with these issues and know how to make your wedding video look and sound as though none of these obstacles existed. You are not going to be able to see yourself and your fiancée?s expressions or really hear your voices when you’ve only one tripod set up in the back of your wedding venue. Wedding videographers not only document your day, but create a wedding video that even strangers would want to watch over and over again.
When choosing a wedding film professional, ask questions like how many cameras do they use during the ceremony? Do they mike up the pastor and your future husband? Do they charge extra for High Definition filming? Ask to watch a wedding video filmed by the professional wedding videographer and you will see that, just like with wedding photography, videography is an investment which more than pays for itself!
Oregon wedding videographers are in the forefront of recreating what it means to having a wedding film, and Oregon is lucky to have a number of top videographers. “We are all striving to perfect our art and storytelling , and every year we are inspired by what fellow videographers are creating and what we have created,” says Jeffrey Hayes of Lights in the Attic Creative Media.
