How Does Wedding Videography Fit Into Your Wedding Plans?

Many brides started dreaming about their wedding day in high school before they ever met Mr. Right. They may have taken a class in school that incorporated the planning of their wedding including budget, dress design, wedding party, location of the ceremony, the reception, and honeymoon. There is so much planning and preparation for a wedding and rightly so. It is a big day in the life of a new couple - the beginning of a new and exciting life together! But wait! Who is going to record this special event? Wedding videography is many times a last minute thought.

The wedding video outlives the event and, if done well, will help keep the memory of that day alive! Video allows you to re-live the sights and sounds of your special day by experiencing the emotion, joy, expressions, friends and family. It is a treasured recording that can be shared and passed down for generations.

A truly memorable wedding video starts in the planning and budgeting stage. Include wedding videography as an integral/critical part of planning your wedding. This will eliminate the last minute thought and will set the stage for a great video rather than a low budget, after thought.

Being a critical element of your planning will also increase the need to meet with the videographer early so that you can share ideas for the production of your video (special requests, shots not to miss, color schemes for the final video, etc), and the videographer can learn your personalities and unique characters. They can then work to capture and present that personality and character in your video. You will learn from the videographer that it is important to involve them in the ceremony rehearsal so they can coordinate with the wedding planner regarding placement of cameras and operators so that it is not disruptive to the ceremony but allows them to be in position to capture special moments of the ceremony that will mean so much to you. Be sure to discuss your plans for the reception and any special requests that you want to make sure are captured and preserved.

After the wedding and honeymoon, be actively involved in reviewing a draft of your video with the videographer. At this point the draft will contain all items previously discussed and there should be just some final "tweaking" needed prior to finishing a truly memorable wedding video that is custom made to your expectations.

A truly memorable wedding video captures the sights and sounds of your special day. It must present attention to detail and present the spirit of the day. The first step, decide that wedding videography is a critical component of your wedding planning.
