The art of videography changes rapidly as technology is at constant growth. Bob Roberts owner of Emotions Studios here in Rochester shares; Steven Spielberg once said that sound is 2/3’s of the movie. The eyes may adjust to a grainy picture but the ears will never forgive bad sound. Professional Videographers today can utilize recording devices from multiple sources to give you a more superior sound than what was available even a few years ago. The better Videographers may use several microphones to capture your day.

Your Video Memories owner, Frank Laciak said a well done documentary style video tells the story of the couple’s wedding day as it happened; or with the appropriate editing, tells the story as the couple would like to remember it happening.

Dennis Allen of Dawn's Photography & Video here in Rochester ads: the bride and groom should ask if a 3 chip or better quality video camera is being used. Decide if you want 1 or 2 camera coverage of the ceremony and/or other events. Do you want to say anything to each other on camera just prior to the ceremony, particularly if not seeing each other beforehand? If you prefer other people to be documented on camera giving a sentiment or "interview" they should be specific i.e. "just the bridal party" or "the relatives visiting from Italy"

Guests tend to avoid being filmed for "speaking parts" and trying to capture that in general takes away from filming more spontaneous happenings, which contain the magic of the moment.

The more post production editing the higher the cost. If price is a big concern, a tasteful and artistic documentary style presentation can be accomplished with minimal or no editing if decided on before the filming of the events. The montage style/cinematic video is time consuming to produce and is reflected in the cost. Anything in between the styles is possible these days. In any case a professionally produced video is essential... it contains the beauty and essence of all the work that has been put into this single day. A good wedding video will age like a fine wine, improving with each passing year, to be valued and enjoyed.

Special Events Video’s owner Jim Mickol points out; Wedding videography has been considered an optional extra for many years. Even today, with some home theaters rivaling the sound and picture quality found in your local cinema, many wedding couples forgo a wedding video to lower their wedding day costs. Nothing exemplifies the commitment made on your wedding day more than making the investment to create a lasting, living memento, more than just fleeting moments in time. A well shot and edited wedding video brings you as close to being there as you can get... 5, 10, 20 years later... not only for the happy couple, but for future generations to enjoy. It is best to consider a small selection of established videographers before you make your decision, until you find the one who looks upon your day to be as special as you do. The one who will record the event without being a major part of it, and the one who is committed to providing you with the dream video you desire and that you will cherish for the rest of your lives.
