Citygirls,
I cannot tell you the number of times I have had clients walk through my door and tell me they don’t need a wedding video. That’s totally fine if that is really your preference, but statistically speaking a whopping 75% of brides regret the fact that they did not get professional video footage of their wedding day.
To take it a step further, the wedding video industry is undergoing a big change. Gone are the days when you have the option of only a regular wedding video. Now – there is cinematography. Yep – that’s right – you, too, can have a motion-picture quality to your video that had not been available in the past. Not only does (what I refer to it as) the “color” look different on the picture (more film-esque vs. wedding video) but the way the videos are edited are different. The editing makes the films seem more magical but still captures the real emotion experienced on the wedding day.
I always tell brides that I LOVE the fact that my parents had a wedding video. Not only can I see my parents in pictures, but through the magic of video, I can see my parents in motion. What they said. How they moved. I can see and hear their guests. See funny dance moves. Most importantly, I can really see and feel the emotions of that day and it is so special.
Cinematographers are creating some amazing pieces these days!
Trailers: Trailers are a great way to post a short overview of the day for your family and friends to see. You can even post them online on Facebook and other places you would like! See this trailer here of my amazing clients, Lauren and Brandon!
Mini-Feature or Short Films: Check out this video of the same amazing couple and see the difference in the trailer and short film.
Same-Day Edits: Want guests to re-live what they saw earlier in the day? Are you curious and can’t wait until you get your wedding video to see your ceremony? Here is a video of a same day edit!
Montages: These beautiful videos can be filmed prior to the wedding day and even shown at the reception if you’d like. You can click here to see an example of a beautiful montage.
Honeymoon Films: Love the vintage look and want to capture special footage of your honeymoon? What better way than to create a Super 8 film. This video looks awesome!
No worries – either – these companies offer a few packages you can choose from. You will also get your complete wedding footage edited.
Happy Planning!
