In the last Blog we talked about the new wedding style of video, the equipment, and how it should make you feel. OK, but how much it cost and why ? Now if everyone had a rich uncle or a money tree, this would probably be a no brainer. We would hire Peter Jackson or Martin Scorsese to film our dream wedding. But this is not the case for most of us.
Now here is the why
Now because of new technology and wedding film schools online and at local colleges for filmmakers, you get a talented professional, who has invested thousands of dollars on equipment and countless hours of study, just for you’re wedding day.

Most videographers will invite you out for coffee just so they can get to know you, so they can tell the best story and get a true understanding of who you are. The Best videographers know that this day is about you, not about how much equipment he has or how talented he is, but the star of the day is YOU ! Some videographers will make the last rehearsal to see the venue and to maybe capture some unexpected moments, also to minimize unexpected moments on the wedding day
Theres more
If you decide to opt for a second videographer (Highly Recommend, but not Required) you get the flexibility of filming at 2 different locations simultaneously, and capturing 2 controlled angles of the ceremony and reception, and we can’t forget the audio, the lavalier lapel mic’s for the groom and the officiant, and external recorders to record audio from the venue and the DJ sound system.
Last but not least
Once you’re wedding day is done, the videographers work begins. Back at the studio they download tons of footage and even more if in 4K to edited. They start color correction, repairing and syncing audio, Then they recall all that they learned about you and begin to form your fairytale story together. Once done you will find that this was an investment towards a family heirloom that will be cherished for generations to come.
