Ask the Expert: 5 Things Your Wedding Videographer Wants You to Know

Weddings as many might agree can be quite stressful when it comes to organizing and preparation. Those of us who opt to have videographers present to document and showcase the jubilant occasion feel like we have one more thing to stress about.

Where psychologists have their methods for handling wedding stress, all we as professionals want you to know is when it comes to your videos, you couldn’t be more wrong! What many forget is where the wedding in question may be your one and only, for a professional wedding videographer, it’s not the first rodeo!

5 Things Your Wedding Videographer Wants You to Know

There are a few things many wedding videographers wish their clients were aware of but in most cases are polite enough not to point out for fear of coming off as offensive.

If you read the five pointers below though, you will realize they relate more to your own convenience and peace of mind than anything else!

A Professional Relationship Works Fine

Many couples feel like in order to work well with a wedding videographer, they need to form some sort of bond or connection which slightly transcends the professional. Not true! Most professional wedding videographers don’t need special treatment or any kind of coddling. Bonding sessions too are also unnecessary!

An adept professional wedding videographer will be more than happy to deliver if you maintain a professional relationship based in mutual respect and fulfillment of commitment!

The Sidelines Count

You might think that your first steps into the venue, first kiss or first dance are what will be thrilling to watch years along the line. This is true however; many professional wedding videographers agree that the hidden gems occurring along the way are not to be missed. These include the process of decking up, last minute decisions and the moments just before the standard formalities begin.

It is shots of the little laughs, trials, bloopers and emotional moments along the way that make for really great viewing even years and years down!

Do Not Underestimate the Importance of Light

Wedding videographers can sometimes stress on the important of maintaining time boundaries. The reason they do this is in order to catch the right light to film in. It is good lighting that makes for the really dazzling and romantic fairytailesque shots.

Keeping this in mind, it helps not to press your videographer and take their suggestions by way of lighting and hence their suggestions by way of what time would be ideal for shooting seriously!

Your Videographer is Human

Just like everyone else at the wedding (caterers, waiters, guests and all included) your wedding videographer too is human. Weddings can last for hours during which food and drink is also served. Just make sure you don’t have your wedding videographer running like a machine from start to finish!

Filming and doing the job well is hard work (if you don’t believe us, walk around with a camera for an hour and you’ll get what we mean)! If you want your videographer to really give you outstanding wedding video results, make sure you give them a few minutes in between to break, freshen up and re-energize with a bite!

It’s About You!

People sometimes over-plan their wedding videos to the point that all the beautiful nuances of the individual relationship are lost. Miami wedding videographers believe that it is the people themselves and the love between them that make a wedding video. In a sense, there is a degree beyond which you should drop the planning, be yourself and let the wedding videographer do the work!

Winding Down

Chances are if you follow the pointers above, you won’t be disappointed at the wedding video you receive and will probably end up with a something you can cherish and revisit for a lifetime! So don’t let this be “the good advice you just didn’t take” in the words of Alanis Morsette!

Keep the points above in mind and rest assured that you’ll have a wedding video for the ages! If you’re looking for a professional wedding video services or professional wedding videographer Miami, we’ve got you covered!
