The Value of Professional Video
Only a trained and experienced wedding
videographer is prepared to capture the details of your special day,
from the rush of preparations at the beginning of the day, through the
emotional moments of the ceremony, and the excitement of the
reception. Afterwards, creative editing will polish your tape
artistically and professionally to produce a video (or DVD) that not
only documents your day, but is fun and entertaining to watch again
and again!
Because your choice of videographers is so
vital to the memories you will have after your wedding day ends, WEVA
International along with top bridal consultants, advises brides to get
an early start in the process of selecting their videographer, and to
shop based on quality. Placing videography at the top of your priority
list also ensures the best chance of securing your first choice, as
todays videographers are booked far in advance.
Just like professional photography, pricing for
professional videography varies widely, even within the same
geographic region. Talent, technology, and time are three key factors
which will affect the pricing of your video.
For example, you may find professional
videographers in your area using cameras and editing systems that are
similar. But it will be their skills, experience, style, and
techniques in both shooting and editing that will immediately capture
your attention and be the distinguishing differences you will notice
in their work. This is why it is virtually impossible to shop by price
alone when selecting your videographer. Professional wedding
videography is an artistic, not a mechanical medium. Videographers
shoot and edit video differently.
Video styles and quality can vary tremendously
even within the same community. In order to make an informed decision
about the distinguishing differences, and be sure that your
videographer can match your preferences, it is best to see actual
samples of work produced by the videographer who will be recording
your event. When you stop by to see samples, you will also have an
ideal opportunity to discuss your wedding details and style
preferences before making your final decision. |
