Frequently Asked Wedding Video Questions
- 1. Why should we have our wedding day filmed?
A lot of time, effort and expense goes into planning a wedding, the day will pass so quickly that it is impossible to take it all in.
A professionally produced wedding DVD will provide a complete record of the day's formal events, as well as capturing candid moments that you are bound to miss in the excitement of the day.
A DVD allows you to relive all these memories and atmosphere of your day, something that can be looked back on over the years and passed on to future generations.
- 2. Will a wedding video be obtrusive?
An experienced videographer blends into the background and conducts themselves with professionalism and discretion so as not to distract or interrupt proceedings.
We receive regular feedback from brides, grooms and parents saying they hardly noticed the video camera on the day and were surprised when they saw everything that was captured on the DVD.
You will get caught up in the day with your family and friends and with the photographs that you will simply forget about the video camera and rarely notice it.
