| | Wedding Videography - When getting it right on the 1st take counts hire a professionalWritten by Jay Corrao – Copyright 2005
Getting married is one of most stressful events anyone will ever endure. So many details and preparations go into making of a successful wedding. Often one of most overlooked aspects of wedding preparation is hiring a wedding videographer. Many couples think they can cut a few corners by having uncle Charlie or aunt Mary video their wedding. They’ve had a camcorder for a long time; they must know what they are doing right? And what heck it’s free!But then you watch video and memories you had just aren’t coming across way you remember them; or at least you didn’t get see sick during real thing. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of relatives and friends who could probably do a half way decent job but why take chance? This is your wedding, your big day, and you only get one shot at it. When getting it right on first take counts you really should not settle for anything less than a professional wedding videographer to capture your precious event. Professional wedding videographers understand nature of wedding service and know ins and outs of capturing all of important moments. They also know dynamics of working with people involved in your wedding, including clergy, photographer and others. I don’t know how many times a photographer has told me they missed a good shot because aunt Mary was in way. More often though I hear from clergy about uncle Charlie’s that crossed line of propriety several times by not abiding by rules of venue or understanding sanctity of church.
