Recently, I received a frantic phone call from a Bride on her honeymoon. She called to make sure I had captured the details of the weddings they had already forgotten or missed just days before. Yet, wedding video is often low or off the list of wedding priorities. Many couples just don't get it. Your cake will be eaten. Your flowers will quickly wilt away. A well produced professional wedding video is be the best way to beautifully capture for you and for your posterity the memories and emotion of your day. Below are several suggestions for choosing your videographer:
Rethink your perceptions of Professional Wedding Videography Singapore: No wedding profession has moved further forward in the past decade than has professional wedding video. Gone are most of the obtrusive bright lights and in-your-face microphones. You may not even notice your videographer on your wedding day. The finished quality of professional wedding video has been raised dramatically. With the advent of light sensitive High Definition (HD) cameras, and artistic shooting and editing techniques, contemporary wedding cinematography can be simply stunning.
'Bargain' videography usually isn't: Over the years, I have edited several weddings videotaped by well-meaning family friends. These are always painful, difficult edits: the bride and I make a desperate attempt to 'make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.' Amateur wedding video is better than having nothing, but expect poor audio and bad framing. Count on missing some of the most important parts of your wedding day as your videographer and former friend hits the bar or runs out of battery power at an important moment. Expect 'bridal remorse.' Finally, consider professional Wedding Video as an treasured art form, rather than as an commodity. A $750 quasi-professional won't provide you the same quality results as will a $5,000 videographer. Excellent wedding video may cost more initially, but will be a far more valuable investment to you and your family as a priceless family heirloom.
Consider the source: The single best way to find a great videographer is from a referral. Ask friends and family that have been happy with their wedding videographer Singapore. Seek referrals from trusted wedding industry professionals such as Photographers, DJ's, Florists, etc. Take the time to view important sections of full-length video, preferably at your wedding location. Shooting and editing styles vary widely from company to company. Larger video companies may offer multiple crews. Make sure your view the work from the videographer that will be filming your wedding. Look for creative aspects of his or her work that set's them apart. Does the videographer continue to be educated about latest trends in the wedding video industry? Involvement in national associations such as WEVA International and 4EVER Group should be a big plus. Finally, make sure your videographer is a good team player, rather than a Prima Donna- getting the great shots at the expense of your photographer or wedding guests.
Be prepared to be 'WOWED!': Your finished wedding DVD will capture in stunning detail the most important day of your life. Most of our couples watch their DVD at every anniversary- and sometimes when they fight:) Your wedding movie may very well be the single best investments of your wedding, and perhaps the most treasured heirloom you will ever own.
