Filming your wedding in Kent

Wedding videography has become increasingly more popular over the last 10 years and there are now many different wedding videographers in Kent that will be happy to provide their services for your wedding in Kent. Similarly to choosing a wedding photographer in Kent, there are a few very important things to consider.

Nearly every part of your wedding in Kent will cost you money and using your wedding budget carefully is key. It is important to set a budget for your wedding photographer in Kent and try and stick to it. One of the best ways of doing this would be to gather a shortlist of wedding videographers in Kent and talk to each one and see if they try and sell you a more expensive package than you require. If this is the case then simply cross that wedding photographer off your list and move on to the next one.It is important that you find a wedding videographer in Kent that is listening to your needs rather than trying to make as much money as they can.

Make sure you read any small print and question the videographer about the wedding packages to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. One of the most popular tricks amongst wedding videographers is to give the impression that two videographers are included by stating that two cameras are included. This actually really means only two cameras, not two wedding videographers.

Make sure that when talking to a wedding videographer in Kent, that you ask to meet the person that will actually be filming your wedding in Kent. Couples will often assume that the person they meet will be the person filming on the day. However this is rarely the case. It is essential that you actually get to meet with the actual videographer prior to your event.

The cameras used by wedding videographers will most likely be described as “using the latest in broadcast HD cameras” which is highly unlikely as “broadcast cameras” are huge cameras that cost more than a new high-end car. You need to find out the name of the camera they are using and it’s release date, google the camera to make sure it is top of the market and can justify the costs that they are charging for their videography service.

Obviously, the greatest deciding factor when choosing a wedding videographer in Kent will be the video that you end up with. Ask your short listed wedding video companies to supply real life DVDs rather than show reels. Watch the wedding videos closely and take not of how many black and white shots (which are actually not black nor white but milky grey) there are, and how many times videos have been stuck together by transitions (white flashes, morphing blurs, etc etc) rather than clean cuts. Black and white and video transitions are often covering up mistakes and black and white video which appears for no reason is often used to cover up bad exposures and bad colour balance which is a sign of a bad wedding videographer.

Don’t rush in to choosing your wedding videographer in Kent. Research a shortlist of wedding videographers thoroughly before making your final decision.
