Capturing Your Wedding
You only get one chance to capture this moment. Set a budget and determine what you can’t live without or which product seems most appealing for you.
Photos
Live Video Broadcast
Recorded Video
Each service requires a different skill set and focus. While it would be possible for one individual to do all three of these tasks, it would seriously impact the quality of the products because they each require focus and attention to detail. The important thing is knowing what you’re paying for and being happy with the end product.
Photography
You would think photo’s would be the cheapest and easiest of the bunch but generally you work as a pair which increases labor costs and you really want to be using the most modern cameras available so you don’t miss the shot because of technical reasons. Looking back at photo’s is always nice and I think that simplicity and nostalgia keeps photographers busy year round capturing wedding moments.
Livestreams
Livestreams present their own set of unique challenges. You need cameras, signal distribution, clean audio and a reliable internet connection to pull this off. You’ve just tripled the equipment needs and there are more points of failure. However ceremony livestreams have become increasing popular with covid restriction making it hard for guests to travel. Before you stick that Iphone on a tripod, remember that hearing what the bride and groom have to say is critical to this part of the ceremony. You’ll need wireless audio transmission so your remote audience can hear them.
Cinematic Video
Finally the extravagant package that turns your wedding into a cinematic tour de force. If done right these products are beautiful 3 minute montages of 8 hour events. They have style, and elicit strong emotion with hyper smooth edits. Generally these are the highest cost requiring the most equipment, editing, specialized shots and labor. The goal should be a story that introduces us to the couple and brings us on a journey from start to finish.
