Are you hiring a professional videographer for your wedding? More and more couples choose to get a professional wedding videographer to take videos of their wedding. Videos are better at capturing some of the action that happens at a wedding and a reception. One recent trend in marriage videos is getting your videos edited and shown on the same day.
The idea is to create a short video that highlights some of the preparation that went into the ceremony, the reception and some of the other wedding planning. For this part you want to capture the excitement and mishaps that are going on behind the scenes.
Wedding videos are typically edited after the wedding and depending on the company you choose to hire can take a few weeks before the final production is finished. The fantastic thing about SDE (same day edit) videos is they are edited on your wedding day and can be screened at the reception. The majority of your guests will never be able to see the entire wedding video once it is finished. Plus some of the people at the reception might not have attended the wedding. So this short video is perfect for them to view everything that they missed out on during the day.
There are a couple different ways to show this video. You could show the video on a computer that is setup in the reception area. Then you just keep replaying the movie in its entirety.
Another way is to actually organize a screening that occurs when everyone has just begun their dinners. You show the entire video once on a screen that can be seen by everyone at the reception simultaneously. You can also show some footage from the bride and grooms dating years or even their childhood.
I have seen this done at weddings in person. It is always a big hit. The best part about it is that it doesn’t matter how close you are to the newlyweds. You could be a sibling to one of them or just a friend. The videos are always enjoyable.
If you are hiring a standard wedding photographer to cover your wedding day, then chances are that they are not going to offer such a thing. Even the professional videographers don’t always offer this kind of service. You might have to shop around a bit to find one who does it. I bet if you find one though, you will be very happy with the outcome.
