There are many reasons why people believe they don’t want a wedding video, some people don’t like the thought of a massive camera or strange wedding videographer!
So if you decide you don’t want to pay someone else to film your wedding there is another option. Some companies are now offering to hire you a camcorder, for one of your friends or family to use then the company will edit your footage together onto a dvd. Not only does this work out cheaper, it may offer advantages over a tradtional video.
Advantages of filming your own wedding
You a likely to react in a more natural way to a camera when held by someone you know well. Why not share the duties around, let your bridesmaids film your preparations in the morning, your uncle film the service and the best man get some reaction from guests in the evening.
The video company then take your footage and try to turn it into a watchable dvd! There are some issues, with the main one being that is likely there will be very little experience of filming a wedding amongst your guests. Your family or friends might be responsible for missing big moments! Also things like sound, positioning and lighting have to be right and this often takes experience. Not all professionals are that good at filming weddings, they are a live event with many issues and variables- they are not east to film professionally!
You could compromise
Why not have a professional and a camera for your friends and family to use. This footage could then be mixed in the edit or used as an extras section on the dvd.
