Your wedding day is a day that you will remember for the rest of your life. Planning a wedding can be stressful at times but only because the couple wants to make it perfect. Often the bride and groom will hire a videographer to shoot a video of their wedding; a wedding video documents that special day, and the couple can look back on it anytime they like and relive some of their favorite moments. It is often less stressful if you book with a company who offer photography and videography packages in one.
Early Stages
It will be impossible to shoot the wedding video yourself since you will be one of the stars of the show. Entrusting the task to a friend is not recommended, unless he has experience shooting professional videos of this type. It would be best to hire a professional videographer and discuss details such as what kind of video packages are available.
Planning & Preparation
Once the videographer is hired, they will work very closely with the couple to ensure that all specifications are met. Couples may have unexpected plans to surprise the guests, and it is a good idea to inform the videographer of this so they can ensure they are in the right place at the right time. Also, let them know of any change in times, venues or even family situations.
The Big Day
The morning of the wedding is when everything should be finalised. A scheduled arrival and departure time for the videographer should be predetermined. The videographer and the bride and groom (or in some cases just the bride) will go over all the details one last time: what to film, how the overall video will look, etc. There are some moments that are essential to be captured on the video: the processional, ceremony itself, and recessional, the couples' first dance, and the cutting of the cake. Beyond that the footage that is shot is at the discretion of the bride and groom and the videographer. It is recommended that the videographer shoot as much footage as possible, getting ample footage and plenty of close ups of the bride and groom.
After The Wedding
Once the video is shot, the videographer will work on editing the video, and when he feels satisfied, he will show a rough edit to the bride and groom. Often they will all work together and decide if any footage needs to be removed or placed earlier/later in the film. Once finalised, the videographer will make a specific number of copies.
