Traditional Video
This style captures every minute of your ceremony. Full coverage of special singers, musicians and readers will be included in the final production. A portion of the reception is usually included with complete recordings of the first dance, the cake cutting and other milestone events. Editing is limited to blending the different parts of your ceremony together and basic techniques such as fades and titles. This is still the most popular option for couples. His niece's special solo and your dance with your father are captured in their entirety for a couple to enjoy for years.Cinema Video
Just like a movie, this type of video is shot with unusual camera angles, staged backdrops and creative editing. The chronological order of events is often manipulated to offer a unique perspective and to add dramatic effect. Filming is focused on producing the raw materials for a highly emotional final product. This choice is becoming popular as brides and grooms make their weddings more personal and unique. This style will offer couples the view of the guests' faces while his niece sings and the look in your mother's teary eyes while you waltz with your father. Providing the emotional details often missed by wedding participants, a cinema style will entertain as well as record your big day.Documentary Video
A combination of the above two styles, the documentary style is becoming more popular. Videographers aim to produce an authentic film of your wedding including all the events which made up your day. Highly creative, these types of videos include behind-the-scenes shots and capture the full range of emotions of a wedding. This is a rather new style and requires complete faith in your videographer. This type of video is carefully edited to convey all aspects of a wedding. Like a journalist, the videographer pieces the events of your wedding together to offer a deeper understanding of this milestone day.Regardless of the style you select, there are some basic steps to follow when hiring a videographer. First of all, always get references and check them. Hiring the most artistic videographer in Kansas will not help you if he misses the ceremony or she cancels at the last minute. Plan on watching some sample wedding videos and ask to see complete packages. A few thirty second shorts strung together will not let you evaluate an entire wedding day video. Videographers such as York Street Video in Wichita, and Paragon Visual Productions in Topeka, offer online samples to get you started. When negotiating a deal, if you wish to have special moments or participants included in your video, add those specifically to the contract. Be very clear on who and what you want included in the final video.
Your wedding is a once in a lifetime event. There will not be an opportunity to re-shoot the ceremony or recapture his father and you on the dance floor for the first time. Apply the same attention to detail for this part of your planning as you did for your other vendors. If you start your search for a Kansas wedding videographer early, you will have plenty of time to find someone you both agree is a perfect choice.
