The big day is approaching, things are being arranged, the cake is on order, the live music is arranged, and the reception venue is booked. For the bride and groom, perhaps the most important person, is the one who will capture the day’s events, the photographer. These days, with video so widely used, the term videographer is a more accurate description of the services provided at a wedding. The videographer will be experienced in all aspects of photography, and would prepare for the event by meeting the happy couple a few days prior to the wedding.
Don’t take chances
The person you select to undertake this role must be someone with experience. Asking a friend who happens to own a DSLR camera is not advised, as it is putting a lot of pressure on someone who may not relish the challenge, not only that, there is so much at stake, and no chance of a second bite at the cherry. If the wedding happens to be in Western Australia, Dream Day Productions amazing wedding videos clearly show how professional the service is, and with a range of packages, there is something to suit every budget.
Experience counts
Like anything else, the more often a person does something, the better they become at it, and if the wedding videographer has a few hundred notches on their belt, one can relax. A person’s wedding day is not the time for trying new settings or cameras, and certainly not for amateurs who are trying to polish their technique.
Planning the still images
The wedding videographer would want to know how many guests are invited, and also would need to visit the marriage and reception venues, an essential step, as he or she can decide the angles and positions for some of the more important shots. The complete schedule should be given to the videographer as soon as possible, as this is essential for the photographer to make their plan complete.
The package

Time to relax
