How To Completely Enjoy Your Wedding
The wedding day is always remembered as a brief moment, maybe because of the
high emotions or just because the stress that everything goes as planned.
In
addition, most brides to be invest huge amounts of time and in months even years
in advance, planning, dreaming and visualizing their wedding will be that unique
and marvelous and even magical event. For good reason you should ask yourself,
how can I enjoy my wedding day?
The only way is to document and preserve a live copy of that day through video
and photo. That way you will have a historic recount for you and the generations
afterward. Imagine your sons, and grandsons replaying the event that mark their
existence in the world. In reality, most brides and grooms make too often
the
following mistakes:
Ø
Consider video as just another last minute option.
Ø
They only select photos of their wedding .
Ø
Expect or assign a friend
or family member to tape their wedding.
Ø
Decide to select a videographer only by the lowest price and
sacrifice quality and artistic presentation.
The Video:
Option or Investment?
Employing a videographer is not a
question of luxury or just an option. You have
invested time and money selecting the flowers, dress, cake, food and more,
but all of
that will only be for one day. Nothing of that carefully planned
and wonderful moment
will be saved unless you have a professional videographer. Only a video from a
professional videographer will let you:
1.
RE-LIVE you wedding day.
2.
PRESERVE forever all that time and
money invested.
3.
PROTECT all the emotions,
feelings and happiness lived
that day.
The Wedding Event Videography
Association (WEVA) conducted a survey by
Breakthrough Marketing, Inc. The survey showed that brides don’t fully
appreciate the
value of video until after the wedding. Before the wedding, only a little
more than 50% of surveyed brides considered the video a necessary service. Also,
38% of brides did not
plan to have their weddings videotaped by anyone – amateur or
professional, and
afterwards they regret it. However, after the wedding, 75% considered
video a must.
Thus, ninety-eight percent of all surveyed newlyweds recommended other
brides
to have their weddings videotaped.
What
will you select: Photography OR Videography / Photography AND
Videography?
Maybe you will say: “I already have a
photographer.” Excellent, but a photo is just a captured scene not a copy of
the whole event. Let’s compare photo and video with just photo quantity: A
video camera takes approximately 30 photos per second. In a 90
minute film that will amount to 162,000 photos. Do you have ever heard of any
photographer taking more tan 5,000 photos in a wedding? But, that’s not all.
Video
contains more elements: sound and movement. As some experts agree, video is the
next phase of photography and that implies a better and superior media to
preserve important event, your wedding. Only video contains the emotions,
movement, sounds,
and every other detail in time.
When you select a videographer, be
sure to select a professional videographer. Many
brides have select this service just for the low price and have paid a much
higher wage,
in the best cases, bad quality and in the worst, no memories at all. Make
a careful selection because you will only have one opportunity to have your
wedding video for the
rest of your life.
In order to select a professional,
always analyze these factors:
Ø
Image Quality
– Observe full wedding videos, not demos.
Then you can see what other couples have received and what can you expect.
Verify its quality and image. Professional videographers
always use professional 3 CCD cameras.
Ø
Sound Quality
– In order to have the best sound possible, professionals always use wireless
microphones. This enables them to capture all the vows and whispers from the
couple loud and clear.
Ø
Professionalism
– A professional videographer can be identified by its experience,
artistic work, personality and helping attitude. They are
part of the solution for the wedding couple in every aspect of preserving
their memories. They are not worried or intimidated that you compare
their work to others. They always use professional equipment to
produce a superior quality in their video. They are also part of one or
more professional video organizations.
How to
select a professional videographer?
Suggestion 1:
Like any other service, become an informed consumer. Always
check at least four or more videographers and ask to see full wedding
videos from
other clients (no demos). Only then you will verify the quality and
experience from
the service that is offered.
Suggestion 2:
Search for the videographer and photographer as soon as you have
decided the wedding date. Once you have decided, reserve them. These services
are usually reserved a year before the wedding date.
Suggestion 3:
Select a company that delivers both services, not only you will save
time in selecting but both services will complement each other better.
Suggestion 4:
Select a videographer and photographer that reserves the day only for|
your wedding. In this way, if any unseen change in time arises, you will
be relaxed
that the videographer and photographer will not be rushing you because they have
any other engagement.
Suggestion 5:
Always select the videographer and photographer by quality first then
and only then by price. There are too many stories of couples that
selected these
services by price and have been disappointed or lost all their memories.
Quality first,
price second.
Suggestion 6:
Check for services providers outside metropolitan areas. Remember
that service providers outside metropolitan areas charge. Even though, you
may pay a traveling fee for their services they are more economical.
Suggestion 7:
Search for special offers that include options like photomontages,
love stories and others that you may be interested. Not only these options
will excel
the wedding video but, they will also add significant emotional,
sentimental and
historic value.
How can you
contribute to preserve your memories?
Suggestion 1:
Keep well informed your videographer and photographer about
any change in the protocol or if there will be any surprise. You can assign your
wedding coordinator to help you with this important aspect.
Suggestion 2:
Explain your guests to not interfere with the videographer and
photographer. This will help prevent excessive movement by the
videographer and photographer and a better quality of footage.
Suggestion 3:
Provide seating near the newlyweds table so the videographer and photographer
can be in an instant if some important event suddenly happens.
It’s not a funny thing watching the videographer and photographer jumping
over tables
trying to reach a clear shot.
Suggestion 4:
When providing food and refreshments to your guests, be sure that
both your videographer and photographer are among the first. Not only they
will be
able to focus on the job but they will also be ready when everyone finishes and
the party starts.
Conclusion
It
is possible that some family members and friends try to dissuade you of
hiring a professional as they will be glad to do it. But don’t! They will
be enjoying the
party and not concentrating on the job to preserve your memories. In any
case, you
will also want them to enjoy the party. In the end, if you carefully select and
hire a professional videographer then, you will not only preserve that day in
video, but will
be able to truly enjoy forever your wedding day.
