How To Capture The Perfect Wedding Video

By Crystal Powers


You need more than just luck if you want to capture the perfect wedding day video. There are a number of factors involved that should be considered when you're planning your wedding video whether you're the one behind or in front of the camera.

Experience

Make sure the ideograph has considerable experience, has just about seen it all and can anticipate what is about to happen in order to capture events as they unfold. You need to take note of testimonials to this regard as well as any recommendations from people you know.

Tips on communication

In order to be alerted to upcoming highlights such as cutting the cake and the speeches as well as making sure he is updated if there are changes to the schedule, the videographer must be prepared to liaise with other people who have key roles in your day such as the photographer and hotel manager.

Tips on post editing

Additional interesting extras such as slow motion shots and background music should be provided by the video service and this will give your finished video a polished and professional touch and make it distinguishing from a regular home movie.

The expertise

Make sure that the wedding video is a professional piece of work and it should also have top quality equipment and technical knowledge such as understanding of white balance, manual focus, and shutter speeds is what the videographer should advocate. By asking to see examples of their work, you will be able to judge the picture quality yourself.

Lighting

To ensure that each picture will be evenly lit and exposed, when you are discussing the locations for the wedding make sure that the videographer has lighting equipment that is suitable for indoor filming and will be able to transport it to each venue.

What about the sound?

In order to pick up both sets of vows being made, ask if it is possible for the groom to wear a tie-clip microphone. Even the most confident of couples can be softly spoken when exchanging vows and this is the most important moment in your marriage ceremony that will want to be relived. Voices, which may otherwise be lost, will be recorded onto the video because of this inconspicuous device.

Being discrete

Unobtrusive and recording the day without becoming a feature of it is what an ideal videographer is. Choose someone who understands the sensitivity needed to get all the shots whilst remaining invisible. Look for comments highlighting this ability when checking recommendations.
