What to Expect From a Professional Wedding Videographer
By norman | August 31, 2009
Wedding videography refers to the documenting of a wedding on video. Its final product which is commonly called a wedding video is also referred to as wedding movie or film. Just like in videography in general, in the case of wedding documentation on video we can also distinguish between amateur and professional wedding videography. Whether it is wedding, party, or corporate videography, you should keep in mind that this is a form of art and requires a lot of elements in the process. Some of these requirements are of human nature and we refer to commitment, passion and talent. Besides, technical skills and appropriate equipment are a must in this profession in order to get to a good final product in the form of a smooth video.

Professional wedding videography can be traced back to the times before the advent of the modern video camera. In time, while film was the only way of ‘catching’ moving pictures, a few enterprising individuals took out the family 8mm camera and filmed the weddings of either family members or friends. The film cameras of the past were limited by a number of elements like their short load times for the film, the high price of processing and the impossibility of recording the sound together with the images. The beginnings of professional wedding videography were quite primitive as the equipment was generally of low technical quality. Cameras required bright lights; they had fuzzy pictures, poor color saturation and mono audio recorded with cheap microphones whose audio quality was quite low.

At present, the developments that have continually occurred in the field of videography in general have led to incredible products, especially in professional wedding videography. The length of the videos as well as the quality of both the image and sound, plus the special effects that can be added to the video, make the final result worth its costs and the effort put into making it.

In the field of professional wedding videography we can now talk about different styles. The most commonly used of them range from journalistic to cinematic. Thus there are: the video journalistic style, the cinematic style storytelling, short form wedding and traditional. Wedding videographers do not refrain themselves from using just one of these styles but, in one video different style combinations can be used. Professional wedding videography has come to develop and include numerous video production offerings. Thus there are: engagement videos, invitation DVDs, photo montages, love stories, concept videos, same day edits, bridal elegance and highlights.
