Hiring a Wedding Videographer is an INVESTMENT.
I understand that hiring a videographer for your wedding is an investment; however, there are a lot of benefits of having a videographer. Investing in a wedding videographer is beneficial as it enables you to capture and relive the moments of your special day in a dynamic and immersive manner. A professionally edited video offers a unique storytelling experience, capturing nuanced moments beyond what photos can convey. Videographers, equipped with creative expertise and professional tools, provide a high-quality and personalized representation of your wedding day. This allows you to share the experience with those who couldn't attend. Despite the initial cost, the enduring value of a professionally captured video makes it a worthwhile investment
Process
I look at the process in 3 parts.:
Before the wedding, During the wedding day, and finally the post-production process AKA. The Editing.
-
Before the Wedding Day: I talk to the couple about their needs. If there is a certain style they wish to have their wedding captured. Schedule of the day. Going over key moments and the must-haves. (for more... look at FAQ)
-
During the Wedding Day: I always arrive early at the venue to start capturing those establishment shots. Fly the drone, of course, if it is permitted at the location. I communicate a lot with the wedding planner/organizer about the schedule. This part can be up to 12 hours of work.
-
Post-Production AKA. Editing: This process entails organizing the footage and the audio files. If there was a special request on how the video edit should look like, this is the process where that would start to come together. Otherwise, the full film would have a documentary/ cinematic style. Editing time can take up to 24hr+. This is the creative part of the work. To customize it, it takes time.
