There are many different styles that a Professional Wedding Videographer may use to deliver your final edited wedding video.  If you aren’t sure what video style you want, take a few minutes to research. Styles are diverse, including traditional, video journalism, the short form, and cinematic styles. You’ll probably know the right style when you see it… your wedding video should fit your personality like a glove!

With this style of wedding videography, the camera will begin running as soon as the guests start filtering into the church, continuing to run until the wedding reception is complete. The final product is a straightforward video that has no editing, not stops, and no interruptions. Since just one camera is used for this style, if you are on a budget but want to have your wedding videotaped, this may be your best option. 

With this style, your wedding video would begin with photographs of the bride and groom as they were when small children. From there, it might show a photo slideshow with couple of high school and college photographs, and progress to the beginning of the relationship, showing special moments the couple shared while dating. From there, the wedding video goes into scenes from the wedding ceremony, reception, and most often will end with shots taken from the couple’s honeymoon.

 

Depending on your preference, you can have this type of wedding videography narrated, created with interviews from family and friends, or put to music and special effects. 

For this style of wedding videography, the wedding ceremony and reception are filmed as a documentary. The design of this wedding video is to tell a story of things in the bride and groom’s lives that led up to this magical day. Typically, the shots would include the process of the couple getting ready for the wedding, enjoying the reception, candid moments, and interviews of people close to the couple.

 

The documentary style is probably the most popular of the three and depending on the wedding videographer you use, the price can vary significantly. With this style, more footage is used and often with the benefit of two digital video cameras. For this reason as well as the need for heavy editing, this is the most expensive but the best.
