"Our Friend offered to do our video for free.” 

There is a lot about videography that your friend probably doesn't know. The failings of an amateur video recording will not be apparent until after the event. By then it will be too late to recapture some of the most important moments of your life.

Common  results of amateurs trying to produce a once in a lifetime special event video include; running out of tape or batteries, video with bad sound, not shooting important activities, and delivering shaky or dark footage.  We have even seen people dancing with the camera in hand or over-indulging in the refreshments or chatting with the guests instead of concentrating on capturing your most special moments.  Perhaps the worst, and not uncommon, problem occurs when your amateur cameraman backs out at the last second. Using a friend or relative can cause hard feelings and ruin relationships if your video is poorly produced or not done at all.

Your video should be a very special memento that will fill you with warmth and happiness, now and throughout your lifetime together.  Achieving that quality depends on choosing the right wedding videographer and that professional has only one chance to capture those moments.  A ceremony or special event can't be stopped or repeated.

A professional videographer will use 3-Chip Digital Cameras and other gear which is designed for industrial use. They will also have back-up gear ready if the equipment breaks down. Even with access to inexpensive digital camcorders, the general public, is not trained or experienced in the art or techniques of producing a beautiful, moving, and finished product. 

Professional Videography is the result of visual perspective, dedication, and timing that can only be achieved by an experienced cameraman using reliable high quality equipment who is also highly skilled in the art of editing.  A professional videographer will respect religious rules and will conduct himself accordingly.

Hiring a videographer is just like hiring or buying anything else; you get what you pay for. A price quote alone can result in hiring a videographer that may not live up to your expectations. Look at the actual work, don’t just shop by phone. We prefer meeting our prospective clients in person and to show several samples of our work. Special event videos are a very personal service. We feel that we deliver our best work if meet and get to know the principal people involved. Professional prices vary, the packages may be similar but the work may be vastly different. Will the final recording have the flow and continuity of a professional production? Beware of the lowest price you can find without first asking yourself, what is it about this company that makes them so much less than the other? Those who can’t sell quality, sell only price.

The two people who remember the least about their wedding are the Bride and Groom. They are in a fog of emotion and excitement. Still photographs will show them a few stages.  A professional video will capture and preserve the feeling and sounds of the entire event forever.

NO PRICE IS A GOOD PRICE IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR FINISHED WEDDING VIDEO.
