Williamsburg Wedding Tips: Wedding Videography Tips

Pictures capture the moment, but videos let you relive the memories. It’s not surprising many people are having a videographer at their wedding to capture the whole evening. With so many videographers in Williamsburg, it can be hard to choose. Here are some questions to ask.

Really a Pro? – Video editing is a lot easier these days, and a lot of people buy a camera and think they are a pro. But being a real wedding videographer is about knowing WHAT to film, not how.

Type of Camera? – Make sure it’s not a flip cam. A real wedding videographer has a high quality video camera, preferably HD. Make sure they have a “three chip camera.”

Lighting? – Make sure their lighting equipment is low key and unobtrusive. It’s a wedding, not a movie set.

How Do They Dress? It’s your wedding, and unless you’re going for ultra-casual, jeans and a t-shirt are not appropriate. They need to dress for the occasion.

Multiple Cameramen? – Many of the weddings in Williamsburg have a lot going on, and if you want to capture it all, you may want two cameras on scene.

Sound Quality? – The most beautiful wedding in the world isn’t going to look so great if the voices are muffled or tinny. Make sure they have quality sound recording gear.

Those are just a few of the questions you should ask your Williamsburg wedding photographer. Make sure your special day goes off without a hitch. For more advice on your wedding, the Williamsburg Wedding Guide has plenty of tips and tricks, as well as local vendors, to help you out.
