How To Hire A Wedding Videographer
I am proud to announce that we have a new series of articles for your wedding planning needs: What To Look For In A Wedding Video!
I am shocked by the number of bad wedding videos out there. It also seems that the majority of brides and grooms who wish after their wedding that they had hired a videographer. Often when asked why they didn't they say things like, "every video I ever saw or was in sucked but I don't know what to look for in a video". Or "I didn't want something that looked like my uncle shot it, so I didn't get one".
Bridal Films to the rescue. I have gotten one of my favorite wedding videographers to write us a series of articles detailing exactly what makes a good wedding video! So here is the first part ofWhat To Look In A Wedding Video Demo Part One In forth coming articles he will be discussing what is good imagery, editing and whatever else he comes up with.

As a wedding cinematographer it never ceases to amaze me just how many poorly produced wedding videos are out there and how many brides and grooms regrettably purchased them. Not all videographers are created equal and as the consumer you need to educate yourself as to what to look for in a wedding video. In this and following articles we will illustrate what is good and what is bad when you are looking at wedding video demos.
Audio Is One Half Of A Video! Without audio video is nothing more than a sequence of still images displayed at 30 frames per second. Your photographer with modern cameras can capture 9 frames per second, why hire a videographer then if you aren’t going to be able to hear anything. The mp3 below is an example of a poorly done wedding video audio track during the readings. Notice that you can hear the person, but not very clearly. (Due to these clips being from a competitor's video the names have been removed and I am using video only.)
The audio could have been far more intelligable and easy to understand if the videographer had bothered to do his job properly. The following video clip demonstrates just how a reading should sound.
I like making videos sound "you are there" as much as possible so I have mixed back in some of the natural echo of the church while maintaining the clear and understandable words of the reader.
This next audio clip is from the vows of the wedding. This is where your audio should really excel! After all you will want to hear the words you spoke to each other on the altar. In the audio clip below... Well take a listen...
