By Anthony Gibson


Most people will have photographs taken by a professional when they get married. More people now choose to have a video made of the days events and will need to look for reputable nj wedding videographers. These moving images are an ever lasting record of your special day and it is important to find a professional with a good reputation.

There are many places in your neighborhood where you are able to find someone to shoot your wedding day video. Many firms that work in the marriage industry will have details of others who work in the same trade. Cake stores, florists, entertainers and caterers will all have details of people they have met at ceremonies in the past.

The internet is also a useful place to find someone to film your wedding day. Most web sites will feature short clips with footage they have shot in the past and this will give you some idea of their work. Some of the internet pages will have a testimonials section where you can read comments from previous clients and this is always worth reading.

It can also be a good idea to ask family, friends, and people at work if they have used a videographer in the past and have any recommendations. Camera clubs are also quite popular and many of their members will do filming at budget prices to gain some experience. If you use an amateur you need to take into account that their work may not be of the highest standard.

When you have located a videographer you need to make an appointment to visit them or they may come to your home. You will have to spend some time with them to discuss your plans and they will offer advice and suggestions. When you are happy, you will be given a price for the job and it is advisable to get quotes from a few different videographers to make price comparisons.

Following your initial meeting, and after agreeing to the fees, you need to work out how many copies of the video you need. Most professionals will be able to supply copies on video tape, DVD and hard drives. In most cases, the more copies you have, the less costly they will be and it is worth ordering a few extra ones in case they are needed.

When the video is ready, you may be asked to view an unedited copy to see if you want certain parts cut. Most videos will have some kind of soundtrack which will be chosen by you or the videographers. You may be allowed to keep the uncut footage, but if you wish to make further copies, you need to ask permission and some fees maybe payable.

When you take delivery of your final edited film, it is advisable to sit down, and watch it in full to check that it is correct. Any problems should be referred back to the company. Most video firms will keep a copy of your tapes and these can be used to make future copies or simply stored as a back up in case your copy is damaged or lost.
