What Will The Wedding Videographer Do

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Michael Burton, we're talking about choosing a wedding videographer for your wedding day. One important aspect to make sure that you check with your videographer about is what the videographer will be doing on the wedding day. Whether the videographer will be the one controlling the wedding day or whether it will be the photographer. It should be the photographer, but there are some couples that don't have a photographer, they only have a videographer. That means the videographer will be the one in control of doing the family shots or leading you around the area where you're taking photos, and doing the poses or the shots or trying to get those candid moments, he would be the one in charge. You also want to make sure that your wedding videographer is not getting in the way of anything. He's not being too annoying, he's not being too close up. Basically, they should be standing back shooting the candid moment, candid moments and not being in the way and really being off in the distance. Unless they're doing something specifically related to their video in order to produce that better video for you. I know, in our case, we like to shoot while the photographer's shooting, but standing back from a distance and get those candid moments. And then, what we'll do is we'll usually take the bride and groom for an extra twenty, thirty minutes after the photographer's done to get some of those more staged or poses shots. Shots that really show off the dress or the tuxedo or the place where they're being married. Then when you combine that with the candid moment that really creates a really unique style and a really unique video. So make sure you discuss that with your videographer before you show up to the wedding day or you may have a few surprises and some guys will go away not too happy with the videographer that they chose."
