Wedding Videography at It's Best

It goes without saying that the first thing on the to-do-list of most brides and grooms are the best clicks and the best wedding video. They certainly want to enjoy and relive these moments more than once in the next few years to come. In a bid to hire the best videographers and photographers, one of the common question that pops up is, “Is it a good idea to hire the photographer and videographer from the same company or separately?”

The answer

Experts suggest that a better option is to hire the videographer and photographer from the same company; thanks to the many advantages.

• They are used to working in a team as they would have done in the past and coordinate well with each other.

• As both of them are used to working with each other, they rarely disrupt each other or come in each other’s way or block each other’s light. This therefore, ensures the best videos and best clicks.

• They can help each other to create the best shots and set them up for each other. In fact, they can even use each other’s equipment, if needed.

• The job is best done when the photographer and videographer are on the same page and work with a common goal.

• Proper communication between them ensures that they are not looking out for each other at the right time for the right click. They communicate and coordinate well in time about the location, time and more.

So, for the best wedding videos and photos, hire them from the same company. However, the company you choose must be as good which boasts of the best wedding videographers and photographers.

“I take you to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for the rest of our lives according to God’s holy law. This is my solemn vow.” His deep voice reverberated through the church interiors. She repeated his words, chanting in dulcet tones as the assemblage waited in eager anticipation of their wedding kiss. They were in love, love that binds two souls to a holy sacrament, love that is a boon in an otherwise brutal life.

Getting married to each other was the best thing that happened to us”, they later gushed in epiphany, “and the second best was capturing these moments of bliss for years to come.”

These days the DIY craze is seeing an all-time high. It isn’t hard to see. With the Internet allowing ready access to knowledge on each and every single topic under the sun, people have started to feel that they will just open up a website which caters to their interest, go through for a few minutes and then they will become experts on that topic, infallible to no one.

One such field which has seen this kind of behavior a lot is that of the videographer/photographer. People have smartphones which have good quality cameras and websites like Instagram to share the photos and videos, and this makes them feel like they possess skills equivalent to that of the professionals who have been taking photos and videos since years.

However, there is a very clear difference between the video that is shot by the professional and that which the average person might. Even if they take a photo or video of the same event, you will easily notice the difference. This is because of the following factors:

• The professionals know about the importance of pre-and-post production. Unless the video you are taking is going to be taken in the cinéma vérité style or the photo is a candid one, the professionals tend to use an extensive list of methods which serve to enhance the beauty of the video/photo, and this is something which you will notice. Amateurs are just satisfied with taking the photo or video and are not concerned with enhancing it in any way whatsoever.

• There will also be a huge difference in the quality as the professionals use only the top-range equipment, as opposed to the amateurs who use whatever equipment they have access to. When you see a video which has been taken in 4k quality and compare it with that of a smartphone camera you will notice the difference right away! In addition to the cameras themselves, there is also a lot of other equipment which the professionals use that the amateurs do not. From wireless lavalier microphones to rigs such as steadicams and crane jibs, all of these different equipments help to make the video just that much more attractive and beautiful.

•  Probably the biggest area where you will see a difference between the video of a professional and an amateur is in the editing of the video itself. In all likelihood the video that you will see of an amateur will be one long video of a certain event and this will not be very exciting to watch. There won’t be any special music attached to the video as well. However, the video made by the professionals will look absolutely different as you will find, and that too in a number of different ways. The video will jump between many angles, yet seem coherent. There will be music in the background which enhances the emotional impact of the moment, etc.

When you are taking a photo or a video, you are capturing life’s most precious moments. Before the advent of the camera people would often have to rely on their own memory or on illustrations and/or paintings in order to remember a special event or a day when something wonderful happened. However, memory is not always accurate, and illustrations and paintings take time to make. This is why the camera is seen as such a huge step forward.

However, the camera hasn’t just stayed in one place after being invented. After being able to capture one single photograph, they evolved to being able to capture more stills, essentially creating the first video camera. In recent times the digital movie cameras which have emerged in the market are also capable of capturing video and sound so well that you can even see the stitching on someone’s clothes, and they have continued to evolve, which has resulted in the rise of aerial photography and videography.

Let’s face it, when we were young we all tied the tablecloth around our neck and tried to fly, believing that the cape was the technology which enabled Superman to fly. While such a kind of revolution is still forthcoming, it is still possible to get that unique, bird-eye perspective of the world, and that is through the help of the drone technology which has made aerial photo/videography possible.

Aerial videography can make for a really stunning video as it captures a view that people don’t get to see. As such it makes for a really unique addition to any video, whether it is a music video, a real estate property video or even a marriage video.

When someone is getting married, it is a very special occasion in one’s life, and as such, you need to make sure that the video which is taken of it is just as special as the occasion itself, and aerial videography is the perfect way to do so. It is something which will really stand out, both of the day of the wedding itself and in the video as well.

The following is a list of tips to make sure that the video for the wedding is going to be as amazing as possible:

•    Make sure that the camera which you are going to use will at least be able to take 10 MP quality photos/videos.

•    Check to see if the propeller is well balanced. If it isn’t, try and sand the bottom of the blade so that it does. This will also help to reduce blurry photos/videos as well.

•    You can try using Gimbals if you want more precision for your photo/videos, but they can be pretty expensive; but all things considered, they are a worth investment as the quality you get will truly amaze you.

A professional team which does offer such an aerial/drone wedding video in Los Angeles is Ridge Production Weddings. Check out their videos to know more about the services they offer at Ridgeproductionweddings.com.

We all want to remember the most special moments in our life, and these days, thanks to the power of videography this has become possible very easily. You don’t need to hire great videographers to get a great video, thanks to the massive rise in videography and photography amongst the general public, there are many high-end cameras which are available to buy from the market and shoots high quality photos and videos.

However, if you really want to have an excellent product, that means getting in touch with the professionals. These professional videographers are experienced in all areas of videography. After all, a video is not just a simple capture of the events that have passed. The video has to be edited, parsed through in post-production and made to become a really enjoyable and entertaining product instead of just a long video.

This is what makes hiring a really expert videographer so important. However, if you want to ensure that you take the help of the finest videographers there are a few things which you should check for. Make sure that you check for some of the following standards.

•    Check out their portfolio and see what the level of experience they have. This is something which you will be able to check from seeing how many years they have practiced videography.

•    An important thing which you should really check for is how social the videographer really is. Being captured on video can be a really awkward experience for many people, and this is something which ends up being reflected in the video itself. However, if you really want a great video you have to make sure that the videographer you hire will be able to interact well with your guests and make them feel comfortable when the video is being shot. You will be able to determine the level of their social skills by just simply interacting with them and see how well they answer your questions and how friendly they are on general.

•    Do check for what kind of equipment they carry. Many videographers these days will carry the latest cameras so as to ensure a great video. While this is not in itself a deal breaker, if you are going to pay for service try and ensure that you get only the finest service possible. Check out and see what the latest cameras on the market are and see if the videographers use them.

These days a number of different styles of wedding photography and videography have really taken off. All of these different styles seek to capture the subject in a different way and have a different impact and effect on the viewer.

These days, because of the massive impact that smartphones and social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter have on our lives, we have become much more inured to taking photos and having our photos taken very often, and as these photos are always taken in less than formal settings, this has had a bleed-over effect into such kind of photos and videos being taken in formal settings, such as weddings. This is known as candid videography/photography.

As such videos and/or photos are usually taken when the subject is not posing, it can actually work really well to capture a subject in a much more natural state of affairs. There are a number of different benefits which come about in this kind of videography.

A rather obvious benefit is that the people who may be shy or uncomfortable taking photos or videos in a formal setting will be more at ease in such a situation, and thereby act in a much more natural demeanor and behavior.

A second and slightly more indirect benefit is the fact that it avoids feeling posed, or unnatural. As a result of the discomfort that the subjects feel, when they pose for the camera it feels like they are doing so only because they were told to do so for a video or a photo and not because they felt the need to do so. This verisimilitude that candid videography offers is something which the best wedding videographers often look more, but are not able to find.

There are a number of ways that you can go around shooting this kind of a video or photo. Some tips which might help you in shooting this kind of a video include the following:

•    You have to pretend that you are a fly-on-the-wall. Be sure not to talk to the other guests and be sure to maintain a good distance from the main subjects. This will help the subjects to feel more comfortable and act natural.
•    Even though you will be maintaining a distance from the subjects you should be as alert as possible so as to spot the candid moments which pass between the subjects.
