why would you get your wedding filmed?

Cinematographer - Gordon Buchanan

You might think, 'that's a bit of an odd question' but believe it or not l've had couples say to me at wedding exhibitions when asking them if they considering having your wedding filmed, to get the answer is ok thanks we already have a photographer booked.  ?

​

If you have date confirmed and  are still considering whether or not to book a videographer to film your wedding, It's worth taking into account what you will be getting for your money. Let's face it with the latest mobiles anyone can capture reasonable quality footage,  but stop to think of the limitations in relying on that for your one off big day.

​

Is it steady? - Are the clips more than a few seconds? - Can you hear whats going on next to the phone? - Does the person filming know how to edit  the footage or will it ever actually get done?    There are so many reasons why this should be left to a professional

 

Here is a well covered article in  www.hitched.co.uk  explaining what to look for when booking a wedding videographer
