Capturing Your Wedding Day from Afar

It is our goal as wedding videographers to capture your wedding day, while not being apart of your wedding day. We understand that your wedding is an intimate occasion with your closest friends and family, and we do our best to capture that while not interrupting. Our video and sound equipment make this very possible.

A zoom camera lens is very capable of capturing moments from across the room without the need to be in the middle of it. This can be very useful throughout the day, including preparations, first look, ceremony, speeches, first dances and open dance floor.

All cameras are very good in low-light. So while at times, like speeches when an external LED light may be needed, the majority of coverage throughout the day and even evening, will call for little to no external constant lighting.

Sound is another key factor that can be captured from afar. External recording devices are used on the groom in order to record the intimate moments during ceremony, including the vows and ring exchange. During speeches, these devices are generally able to connect right to DJ booth in order to capture all of those best man jokes, direct from the microphone.

One of the most common comments I receive from customers is the fact that we capture so much, without the bride and groom even realizing it. So on your wedding day, you can be assured your videographer will be at all the right places in order to capture all those natural moments that make your wedding video something to remember!

4 Reasons to Get a Wedding Videographer

A lot of couple teeter on the idea of getting a video for a wedding. Whether it’s a question of budget, need or desire, some newlyweds let the day go by without wedding videography. Don’t let this happen to you.

Check out some reasons we believe that a wedding video is a must have!

1. Once in a Lifetime Celebration: You spend months, sometimes years planning your wedding. You have every detail picked out from the menu to the venue, colors, songs, guests…. the list is endless! This perfectly planned should not only last a day! You should have the opportunity to relive this day, over and over and over again! Don’t let it pass in the blink of an eye without the opportunity to experience it all over again! The funny moments, sad moments and even the moments that you may have missed is all yours, with a wedding video!

2. See What you may Have Missed: So many people, so little time! It’s impossible to celebrate your wedding day with every one of your guests. You’re lucky if you are able to say hi or exchange a hug with each guest. But the truth is, they are celebrating your big day, whether you are with them or not! This day is all about you, and a wedding video will be able to show you how each of your guests celebrated, cried, danced when you weren’t there to see it! With multiple cameras, our wedding videographers can cover multiple angles, during the ceremony, first dances, speeches and more, so all the important moments are captured!

3. Sound:If pictures say a thousand words, how many can a video say? Wedding photography is a crucial part of a wedding day…. and so is a video! While pictures are amazing, they don’t certain parts of your wedding justice. All newlyweds should be able to re-watch and re-listen to those sacred vows that make you husband and wife! Your maid-of-honor and best man spend weeks preparing their big speech. A wedding video, captures every word of that.

4. Share with Friends and Family: As much as you’d like, not everyone is going to be able to attend your wedding.We’d like to have all out friends, distant relatives, co-workers, and more be there but we can’t! That doesn’t mean that can’t watch it! Email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat…. The list goes on and on of places where you can share your beautifully edited wedding video so everyone can take part in the celebration, over and over, whether they were there or not! Don’t you want your kids to be able to watch the day their parents got married! We can make that happen!

The reasons are never-ending! So if you are unsure if a wedding video is a good fit for you or within your budget, let’s talk and let I Do Video help answer those questions for you! Don’t let your day go by without considering a local wedding videographer.

Final Wedding Video DVD

Wondering What Your Wedding DVD Will Include?

You may wonder just what your final wedding video will include, won’t include, etc. Every wedding is different so every wedding video will be different as well. However most wedding videos will feature the below inclusions:

Part 1: (2-4 minutes)

• Preparations

• Pre-Ceremony Shots

Part 2: (15-20 minutes)

• Full Processional

• Ceremony Highlights

• Full Vows/Ring Exchange

• First Kiss

A lot of newlyweds want to know how long the wedding video will be and if it will show everything. We try and keep your final DVD a watchable length (45-60 mins) but it will vary depending on type of ceremony, numbers of speeches, first dances, etc. The DVD will feature everything in more of its entirety but not everything will be in its complete entirety. For example ceremonies are generally cut down to include the highlights as well as the first dances. However, most wedding video packages include all the raw footage. This inclusion is perfect for the bride and groom to watch all the unedited, uncut videos captured throughout the day. We customize each DVD to fit the day and flow of your wedding. We are more than happy to take any requests prior to the editing process in order to make your final wedding video a perfect one for you!
