If you're charging above 2,000 for a wedding package, brides are unlikely to hire you if you don't have a professional branded image.
You should have a professional logo, website, and marketing material for starters. You won't be taken seriously otherwise.
Your Demo DVD must be very professional, and must be different from your competition if you want to get hired. It must show more than slow motion video and fade transitions, but show an ability to edit the footage artistically.
The footage in your Demo DVD should demonstrate professional video techniques using a diversity of filming positions and angles. I would stay away from the cheesy opening motion graphics that start a segment: "Getting ready" "The Ceremony"- That is a very out-of-date way of editing your footage.
Brides would rather hire you if you can shoot "the film look" as opposed to the cheap camera 30 frames/second look. The audio must be perfect for the ceremony.
Referrals will doubtless be a huge hiring factor for most brides. So each wedding you film, you need to bend your back over and cater to them to ensure that they will refer you to their friends in the future.
Hope these suggestions help!
The two things I want are:
As soon as my man can see me walking towards him down the aisle, I want to see the look on his face;
and, the kiss.
The rest kinda doesn't matter … but that's just me
I know it's a "duh" statement but to be sure the camera's not shaking! There's nothing worse than that!
I am having a church wedding, so a videographer who knows how to stay out of the way is essential. Basically, remember recording the event is secondary to the guests seeing it. So stay in the back and the sides - don't go around in front of the guests. And don't try to choreograph. If you aren't in the aptly place to get the shot you want, edit around it. No trying to get the wedding to pause. At the reception you can choreograph a small more, but still don't harass the guests.
When I chose my wedding videographer of course price was vital I did not want to pay an arm and a leg. But I also wanted someone who would be there to capture everything. My videographer was there with my photographer taking video of us finishing getting ready & while photos were being taken; and he did not leave until I said that it was okay to leave. He did a fantastic job; he's been in affair for years. I would just want someone who is professional, and will have a fantastic finished product.
