Making a wedding video means memories that will last forever. Thanks to technology changing, wedding videos bring smaller, more light-sensitive cameras to today's wedding videographer. It is no longer necessary to have big cameras to capture every piece of footage for your wedding video. Real time television has dispelled the myth that "bigger is better" when it comes to producing a wedding video suitable for television. Smaller, less obtrusive digital cameras allow camera operators into such places delivery rooms, courtrooms, etc. Most brides we speak with are much more concerned with "content captured" than they are with "pixels per inch" and "lines of resolution".
Make sure you're hiring a wedding video professional that specializes in shooting and editing wedding videos. Weddings are very specialized events. A $1000 video camera in the hands of a seasoned professional videographer will produce a great wedding video with just an average camera operator with a $15000 camera. Also, unlike days of old where the final product was pretty much on the tape leaving the camera, most of today's wedding videos are shot on digital tape, brought into computers and delivered either on VHS tape or DVD's. It's important to know who will be handling the editing of your production.
There are basically two types wedding video productions you can choose from. One is a documentary type production; the other is more of a cinematic type production. The documentary type wedding video delivers just as it states… your wedding day as it happened, in real time. Editing is minimal. The wedding video videographer will shoot the events as they happen and deliver a tape/DVD that will allow you to view your day as it happened. Very little editing is involved. These types of productions are normally less expensive and can be delivered in only a few days after the wedding.
