More brides are finding the value in hiring a professional videographer for their wedding. In fact, a well made video has become a standard part of the entire event, just as photography has been for years. However, hiring a professional does not guarantee that your video will turn out as expected.
A wedding truly is a once-in-a-lifetime event and it's important that the video company you hire has the talent to ensure all goes well, regardless of unforeseen events on the day. This list of questions should help you find the service with the right qualities.
WEVA-Married Women Advise Brides to do Wedding Videos
If there is one thing brides today can agree on, it is that future brides should have their weddings videotaped. This is according to a new nationwide survey of brides who were married in 2005. The ground-breaking survey, commissioned by the Wedding & Event Videographers Association International (WEVA), was conducted last month between December 12th and December 22nd by Breakthrough Marketing, Inc.
1. Not all videographers have the same shooting/editing styles and skills. Many videographers have streaming video samples on their website so you can decide the style you like. Besides asking family and friends for referrals, you can also find a videographer at www.weva.com by clicking on the Brides Guide. The Wedding & Event Videographers Association International (WEVA) is the world's largest trade association for professional wedding & event videographers.
Q. How long have you been in business?
A. A more experienced videographer should do a better job for you. Using an established business means that they are in business for the long-term and probably will not shut down next week.
Since the 1860's, when photography first became possible, weddings have been recorded by still photographers. You've probably looked at the photo albums which preserve the memory of their parent's wedding. Unanswered by the photos are questions such as "how did Mom manage that huge train as she walked down the aisle?" "Was Dad able to bend over in his stiffly starched shirt?" "Was their first dance as graceful as their dancing today?"
