What Makes a Great Wedding Videographer

What Makes a Great Wedding Videographer?

You want to hire the best wedding videographer. At To Tony Productions, that is what we are here to be for you. We’ve filmed hundreds of weddings over the last ten years and want to make your big day an amazing success. That is why today we want to explain some key points to what makes a great wedding videographer and how we fit that mold.

Quality Audio

Sound is a priority. A lot of pretty wedding videos out there have poor or non-existent sound. For us, it is just as important as the beautiful images, maybe more so. Clear sound recording for the vows, the ceremony, the toasts, interview with the wedding party, and music choices all tell the story and capture the emotion of the day. We achieve this by using multiple wireless microphones during the ceremony for the groom and officiant. We pay to license the best music for your short film. We mix multiple sound sources to give you the clearest recordings possible.

Video Coverage with Awareness

All You Need Is Love. It is more than just recording what happens. We capture the love. The way you look at one another, the smile on your face when they walk in the room, the way their father says he is proud of them, the silly things that make them laugh. It is a delicate art to capture the relationships of family and loved ones. This is one of our strongest assets.

Capture the beauty and joy of the wedding day and the people who attend. This is what we are thinking when we film and when we are editing the short film of highlights.

Coverage

Redundancy is key. This is a live event and there is no reshoot. If a guest moves in front of 1 camera during the kiss, we have another to switch to. If the officiant’s microphone stops working, the grooms will still pick up everything that is said.

Quality Editing

The short film is so much more than a highlight video. It is easy to set a montage of pretty shots to music, but to really tell your love story and capture the beauty and emotion of your wedding day is an art form. It takes many hours in the editing room and very skilled videographers to achieve this.

Courteous Service

Be friendly. Make the wedding party comfortable. Help them have fun on camera sharing their favorite memories of the couple they love.

Unobtrusive Filming

Be present but invisible. Several brides have left reviews that mention how we captured everything, were fun to work with, but they hardly noticed we were there. That is intentional and exactly the way it should be. Don’t let a production crew steal your spotlight and disturb your romantic moments.

Flexibility

Be flexible. Weddings are often wild and unpredictable. It makes it exciting, but requires a lot of contingency plans. It rains, the schedule gets discarded; the electricity goes out, unexpected change of venue, dark receptions, and a million other changes happen without warning. We come prepared to film under any conditions and have backup plans for our backup plans.

Have Fun

Most important of all, we are there to have fun and be a part of your special day. At the end of the night, our goal is to be an adoptive member of the family. Maybe we’ll even jump out on the dancefloor at some point too! Either way, it is all about being there for you to make your finished video a grand success.
