subject: A Wedding Video Doesn't Have To Be Expensive [print this page]


Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, so why not make a wedding video for posterity? A video will allow you not only to relive this most special day of your life but also to share it with your children and grandchildren. The DVD can even be used as a wedding souvenir that can later be sent to family and friends. Although wedding videography can be expensive, it doesn't have to be a budget-breaker if you decide beforehand what features you want your wedding video to have.

For example, do you want your wedding videography to have elaborate music scoring or visual effects? Or are you content with having a basic home movie-type wedding videography with minimal editing? Deciding on the type of wedding video that you want to have will also determine the kind of wedding videographer you will hire to cover your wedding.

If your budget is large enough, you can hire a professional wedding videographer to give you slick-looking wedding videography complete with captions and dissolves, and will edit your wedding video on high-end editing suites. However, this will cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. On the other hand, you will get a polished wedding video that you can take pride in, complete with a specially-designed DVD cover and label.

If your resources are more modest, you can still find a wedding videographer who will do a competent job for you. The church where the ceremony is being held, for example, may have a member of the staff who can do wedding videography. A friend or a relative with a video camera may also be willing to act as a wedding videographer for the wedding.

When you're selecting a wedding videographer, whenever possible you should take time to interview them to see if you feel comfortable working with them; if possible you should also ask for samples of their past work to see if their wedding videography style fits with your ideas for your video.

Also make sure that the wedding videographer has the right equipment to do a good job. The camera they will be using should be a current model that can shoot in HD. They should also have all the necessary mikes to capture the sounds of the wedding, including a lapel mike so that your vows can be heard on the wedding video. You might also want to meet with the videographer at the venue beforehand to discuss with them how they will do the wedding videography.

The bottom line, however, when selecting a wedding videographer is not to let price be the main consideration. Keep in mind that your wedding ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime event and so you want your wedding video to capture all the joy of the day.
