The Wedding Video. An absolute must when it comes to preserving the emotion, excitement and exhilaration of the most important day of your life. If it were not for the video, precious moments, enduring sentiments and funny faux pas would be lost forever. Brides and grooms of today are reaping the benefits of the advances in modern technology and their options are endless. In truth, the choice to include wedding videography in your budget should be given sincere consideration almost as much as the gown! In today’s day and age, the video is a "must have" hands down.

Now that you have decided to include videography you need to find both your style and your videographer! Rochester has many experienced, high quality videographers for you to research. When you visit our website RochesterWedding.com you will see video samples of some of the best. Once you select a videographer, you can then figure out what style of video you would like to have. How do you want your video to tell the story of your day? Do you want a journalistic look, like a feature story on television or a more cutting edge, music video look and feel.The choice is yours…

"The first thing you will want to do when looking for a videographer is to view their wedding samples.  Today there is no excuse for a videographer not to have samples of their weddings online.  A good videographer will have a nice amount of samples from the weddings they've worked, and update them fairly often.   

When you find one whose style you like, don't be afraid to ask for reviews or references from previous couples.  Even more importantly you should meet with them prior to your wedding if possible.  You will be spending most of your wedding day with your videographer(s).  It's good to establish a relationship with them beforehand, so that you can relax and immediately feel comfortable with them on the day of your wedding." stated by Jim, owner of Fruit Tree Studios

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.
