The decision whether or not to video your wedding day, is often made late in the proceedings and naturally related to one’s overall budget. Whilst budgeting your wedding day is critical, it’s important to place a value onto each item of the day. For example, if you had the opportunity to watch a DVD of your Parent’s wedding or flick through a photo album, which one would you opt for? If watching the Wedding Video is your first choice then you’ve already subconsciously placed a higher emotional value upon the wedding video. Whilst we wouldn’t at any stage suggest that you don’t arrange a photographer, we would suggest that you make space in your budget for booking a wedding videographer.

Booking a professional company to for a wedding video Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire area is not going to be cheap, and will often be at a similar price to booking a photographer. However, this is not the same as buying 2 wedding cakes for the day. A photographer and wedding videographer work quite separately recording and capturing different aspects of your day. Depending on your requirements the photographer may be quite visible, organising the group shots and being very much at the fore front of the action. Whereas the videographer will be more in the background recording everything happening around the Bride and Groom, as well as recording in real time the vows and speeches.

A recent survey in the Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire area found that prior to the wedding day, barely half of the brides surveyed listed Wedding Videos in their Top 10. However, after the wedding this emphasis changed dramatically with over 80% of the brides placing videography among their top 5. The reasons for this are quite simple.

The day itself flies by in a blur, just ask any Bride and Groom. Nerves can often make you forget much of the Wedding Ceremony, perhaps the most important part of the day. After the Ceremony the photographer will often take the Bride and Groom away from the guests to shoot his album stills, with your guests celebrating in a completely different area of the venue; a part of the day that you will never witness. Also, memories have a habit of fading over time, like trying to hold onto a dream upon waking. A glass or two of champagne tends to quicken this process! Also, like looking at a still from your favourite romantic movie may conjure up memories of your date at the cinema, watching your favourite movie on DVD at home, snuggled on the sofa with your partner, will transport you straight back in time and even, with the aid of music and skilful editing, make you cry once again. Your Wedding Day is the most important, expensive and well planned day of your life, with all your family and friends gathered in one spot – if anything merits recording, surely this is it!

Another concern for Bride and Grooms’ in deciding whether or not to video their Wedding Day, is the belief that the videographer will be “in their face” and that their guests will not be able to relax. Nothing could be further from the truth. A good videographer will want to shoot scenes of your guests enjoying their day, and not freezing up in-front of a camera. The latest video cameras have tremendous zooms, with the best shots taken at quite some distance from their targets. A good videographer will ensure that your guests will not even know when they are being filmed, and ideally will not even be aware of the videographer at all. An aid in helping you choose the right videographer for your day will be to view a sample of their work, which any professional company will be more than happy to provide for you.
