subject: Finding The Best Dallas Wedding Videographer [print this page]


For wedding planning on a budget, hiring a great Dallas wedding videographer would be a much better choice than simply hiring a wedding photographer. For one, many wedding videographers can also shoot photos during the special occasion, while not that many photographers are able to provide video coverage due to the lack of proper equipment. Also, while tradition dictates that you should have an actual wedding album with printed photographs, do not discount the fact that you will probably be able to better recount the events and accompanying mood of your special day with a professional wedding video. Overall, a good wedding video is usually produced by a good wedding videographer. So how do you find the best Dallas wedding videographer for your wedding?

Finding a real wedding videographer with years of experience under his or her belt may be difficult, especially as you will have to separate the chaff from the grain, so to speak. These videographers compete with each other with various promotional strategies, such as websites and other types of advertising (the quality of which may not necessarily help you pinpoint the most accomplished professional around). What you will need to do is look for honest feedback from family or friends who have previously worked with good videographers, and recheck their competence by looking at video and photo portfolios of their previous work. Ask for an estimate on the wedding video package you want, and weigh both rates and qualifications when narrowing down your list of potential hires.

After you have found the wedding videographer you want to work with on your wedding day, go through your wedding plans, as well as the details about other wedding-related events you want to cover. Inform them about your preferences and dislikes so that they will be able to come up with a wedding video that will please you, the client, while adding their own personal stylistic flairs in the way they shoot and edit the video.

Informing your videographer and his or her crew is integral to the flow of your wedding day and the video they capture. First, you will need to let the crew know how much they can intrude (although professionals rarely ever do), and how much you want them to simply shoot and observe. There are already unwritten rules practiced by videographers in these special occasions, but you may prefer very little in the way of interviews and more of fly-on-the-wall shooting so as not to disrupt the mood during the events of your wedding. After you have set your guidelines, your videographer can plan the logistics like what cameras to place where, and when to focus on one particular portion of the event or a specific subject, for example. This will allow your Dallas wedding videographer to capture the essence of your wedding with more candor and spontaneity, and help preserve those precious moments for you to enjoy in a polished and flowing wedding video.
