Capturing Your Day

Today videographers are changing the way your wedding or special event is recorded. No longer are wedding videos just continuous scenes from your wedding. Wedding videos now include the story of the happy couple, interviews with family and friends, and other treats.

Wedding videos today can be state of the art, with the latest editing tricks and techniques, for little money. Make your video special by having original music composed for your video, a service that many videographers now offer.

A good videographer can help you remember your special day the way you want to preserve it. Some couples choose the very sentimental and romantic route, while others opt for a style more lighthearted and humorous. Whatever your taste, a good videographer will be able to capture your day, in your way.

Make sure that prior to your wedding you sit down with your videographer and really talk to them about your expectations and how you would like your wedding to look on video. With a little guidance they will be able to capture all the moments and edit them into a seamless video.

And most importantly, order many copies! You can never have enough because for years people will want to see just how you two began.

Here is a checklist of important questions to ask your potential videographer:

1. How will your company make my wedding video special?
2. How many cameras do you use?
3. What type of editing services do you provide?
4. Do you have back up equipment in the event of equipment malfunction?
5. Can I see samples of your past work?
6. How much are additional copies if I decide I want more in the future?
7. What type of equipment do you use?
8. What type of lighting do you use?
9. Do you provide video in both DVD and VHS formats?
10. Do you offer any additional services?
11. What type of contract do you require?
12. What type of packages and rates do you offer?
13. How much of a deposit do you require?
