In the last ten years, media has exploded into our lives. Ten years ago, in order to get good pictures of our loved ones, or those moments we’ve wanted to capture you had to carry a camera. Sometimes the best way to take those pictures was with a camera which used film. Today, you can instantly take a photo and upload it to social media instantly. Sometimes even taking a video and posting it on Facebook or even YouTube. With all this access to the media in your lives, there still is a need for a professional to shoot video for your event. But Why?
Why you ask. Why should you pay the extra hundreds of dollars to a person who will seemingly follow your family around with another camera and take a couple of days to edit your video into a DVD or other digital product? Especially when you can shoot video with an iPhone and upload it to your friends and family instantly?
As a professional videographer, one of the biggest misconceptions is that video will add nothing to your event. In reality, while a picture taken by a professional photographer will obviously show your beauty on your wedding day, it can’t capture the speeches, dancing and laughter you and your guests will experience. You’ll need someone who can anticipate and adapt to your event, and someone who will be where you need them to be to capture the moment you want.
My job is to record every moment and encapsulate that in a video which you will cherish forever. Not only to capture you image, but also your presence, the person you are. I do that by using state of the art video and audio equipment. From you walking down the aisle with your father by your side to your groom, to hearing every second of your wedding vows, to the readings from your family. I will capture your event with clarity and help you show a third dimension of who you are that a photograph can’t express. I also will work with your event planner and DJ to make sure that each speech at your reception is covered as well as capture those candid moments that can happen at the spur of the moment and are gone in a flash. The difference is that I’ll be there to get them.
Afterward, I take all the footage, add titles, music and transitions to make your video easy to watch over and over again. Instead of seeing long stretches of video, you can put your DVD in your player and skip to the parts you want to watch instantly. I also can give the video to you digitally to be uploaded into your cloud and then be able to share to friends an family so they can watch your special event on their iPhones, iPads or other devices.
What you’re getting more than a videographer, You’re getting a video consultant, editor, audio engineer and problem solver all in one. Someone who will shoot and edit a private video presentation for yourself and the generations to come. These moments are priceless memories. Don’t let them slip away.
