Why should a bride make videography a priority?
“At the end of the night, when the bustle and blur of the wedding day is over, you are left with just your memories. A wedding film is so much more than just a collection of images; it’s motion, sound, context, voices, story, music and life.” —Ryan Chaney, Focal Point Digital Media
Can couples on a budget afford a wedding video?
“Budget brides should invest in the best, most talented team possible and just scale down on coverage or editing, even if you have to purchase a smaller package. Or purchase the raw footage and have an edit done as a first anniversary gift. —Karyn Reohr, Black Label Event Film Studios
How do photographers and videographers work together?
“Videographers know what the photographer’s job is. We know they need to get certain shots and capture moments throughout the day. Our approach is to let them lead the setting up of shots, while we work to capture the story of the day.” —Ryan Welch, Moetic Wedding Films
What’s a popular style of videography right now?
“Your wedding doesn’t have to look and feel exactly like a magazine or your girlfriend’s wedding. That’s what’s so great about Portland. We are a creative community that looks for authentic experiences. I’m drawn to the documentary approach to filmmaking, capturing your wedding’s small moments as well as the big, epic-looking shots.” —Travis Shields, Shields Films
How does a bride decide who to hire?
“Brides shouldn’t shop on price alone. Not only are there different editing styles, there are also variations in shooting styles and protocol on the wedding day. How a shooter behaves and interacts with your guests and hired professionals on the day of the wedding is just as important as the final product.”
