Wedding Videography

So, you are engaged!  Congratulations!  I am sure you are having fun choosing your locations, picking out flowers and decorations, and maybe you have already booked your photographer and DJ...but did you already book your videographer?

You do not want to wait to pick a videographer, as the best tend to book up the quickest.  Many people forget about this vendor until just before the wedding day, and by then, it may be too late to get the one you want. 

People tend to think that photography is most important for capturing the day, and then maybe they will add video.  I urge you to reconsider.  There is a good chance that once the day is over (and trust me, that day will fly by) that you will want to be able to look back on your day using more than just photographs.  You will want to be able to relive the special moments in between the shots that your photographer took.  You will want to be able to hear your toasts again, your vows again, and all the well wishes and special words people spoke.  You will be able to do this if you have a video.

I few things to keep in mind when choosing your videographer:
          -Take a look at many samples of their work.
          -Many wedding videographers now shoot in HD, but not all of them do - something to keep in mind when shopping around.
          -Remember that most of the time, a good videographer is going to come along with added cost.  This is important to keep as a priority, as it is one of few things you will have left after your special day.

I hope this gave you a little added insight as to the importance of video on your wedding day.
