Reasons to hire a filmmaker for your great day
It is the big day and we know it. It´s magical, emotional and very special, but it can be also stressful and demanding, even more nowadays, getting married during covid is not easy, too many restrictions and uncertainty. That´s why we want to give you some key points why you should hire a reliable and affordable wedding videographer.
A wedding film is the most complete way to remember your day
A wedding is a magic and special event, a memory you want to keep forever. And that´s why getting an affordable and cinematic wedding video seems like the right option. While most of the things from the wedding such as the beautiful dress, the delicious food or the mind-blowing decoration are enjoyed and at the same gone on the same day; the wedding film stays with you for years and years to come, as a living testimony. That’s one of the main reasons why hiring a wedding film is a powerful benefit, something to keep watching over and over again through the years, even as a personal ritual when celebrating anniversaries.
Having a luxury wedding videography brings back the day, and with the help of an amazing photo album, it becomes a greater experience to share as a couple, or with family and friends. Without a doubt a truly priceless benefit and investment.
The wedding videographer covers the key moments of the day
Once you get to know each other (videographer and couple) and share all the needs and dreams for this magical moment, a creative proposal should come, exploring the best way to tell the story of the day.
The camera will be witnessing every key moment of the day, helping the couple to leave all stress behind, and focus on the real matter, the “YES” moment. Enjoy every bit of this magical day knowing that when all is gone, you two can sit down on your sofa and enjoy every bit of the day, through the eyes of the videographer, through the point of view of the guests and family.
It is clear that the couples can miss a lot of moments during the day since they have to focus on themselves, on the love they have for themselves. And that’s where the videographer becomes a valuable member of the crew, being another set of eyes and hears, recording moments and details you want to have forever. A good proposal could even cover a pre-wedding session, telling a little bit about the early days as a couple; or having fresh and authentic reactions from moments such as preparation, reception, and party, where they can be found true treasures as speeches or declarations of love.
The wedding movie covers speeches, vows, and some original reactions
A wedding cinematographer should record a little bit of everything, not just the key moments as ceremony, couple shoots and poses, or party; but to get in-camera some bits of the best wedding venue, the decoration details, the amazing food, and the most important, to get the feeling of the couple and the guests, the complicity, the spontaneous reactions, the happiness, the love!!!
There is one thing that only the videographer can cover, and that’s the speeches, the vows, the original reactions, and emotions. It´s magical getting to watch and hear the couple say their vows in that exact moment, or be present where the parents or close family are crying, leaving all emotions out while giving the biggest hug of their lives. That is a unique moment couples want to freeze forever.
The recording of sound plays a key role in the day. Having on camera the declaration of love, the jokes, the reactions, or even the music mood the couple chose for that day is something no one else can do. The wedding videographer manages to get together all these audio and visual components in the editing room and bring to life a cinematographic version of the day, the premier of the latest romantic film where the married couple is the stars.
Sharing your happy day, sharing your happy movie
How amazing is it to share your wedding film with family and friends that couldn’t make it to the day or those you wanted to invite, but wasn’t possible due to reduced capacity during these pandemic times? Well, this cool wedding film can be upload to YouTube or Vimeo and have the opportunity to be posted easily (With or without a password).
Another great idea is to have a shorter version that the videographer can put together in the editing room. The impact that a wedding movie trailer has is mind-blowing: 60 seconds of the right music with the most romantic and powerful moments, mixed with those spectacular and unique situations that made the day… bringing, as a result, the adrenaline feeling to be in the theater. Post it on Facebook or Instagram and wait for all the love from friends and followers.
An amazing wedding film is a personal fine piece of art that becomes a valued treasure
Every wedding video should go through a unique creative process, where the videographer becomes a weeding filmmaker, a wedding storyteller. Development of a script following the dream and goals of the couples, the planning of the filming having in mind the incredible venues and wedding destinations, and editing that should be powered with the musical selection from the couple.
Having in mind alternative recordings such as the pre-wedding film can give a sense of wedding documentary movie, where the narrative is carried by the interviews. The pre-wedding shooting is the perfect way to complement the film, telling the early days and creating an intimate portrait with fresh testimonies, that helps to get a bit deeper into the love story. At the same time, this time works as an excuse to get to know each other better; that way, the videographer is no longer a stranger on the wedding day.
In short, having present these reasons to hire the best wedding filmmaker should hack the minds of any couple. It’s amazing how the right amount of passion and love can transform a special day into the best cinematographic experience of all times.
