Tips & Information - Visually Remember Productions - Providing Affordable Wedding Videos to the Orlando/Central Florida Area

Read the contract for all the vendors you hire for your wedding, especially the photographer's. Make sure that there aren't any restrictions on when or where the videographer can film. This is most important if you want your photo session filmed as well as making sure that there isn't disagreements over who can be where. We will work around the other professionals you hire, providing they are courteous in return.
A professional video of your wedding is as important, if not more so, than pictures by a professional photographer. Professional wedding videography saves and protects life's most precious and beautiful moments--as they actually happened. And what is more important to hold precious than the sights and sounds from the most important day of your life--your wedding day! Because the event goes by so quickly, capturing all of the activities, your ceremony and reception, on video will mean your wedding will be preserved for you and your family now, and most importantly...for all the generations ahead. The video will also allow you to see things that you missed, as you were busy doing with everything that was going on.
Write your own vows, it makes the ceremony much more personal!
Confirm with your Officiant that they allow filming and how flexible they are in camera placement and movement. Most videographers charge a non-refundable deposit and it is your responsibility to make sure we can do our jobs.
It is a good idea to inform your guests that you are filming the event and they may appear on video and by their accepting your invitation, they accept that and cannot come back and ask not to be included in the final video.
Check with your ceremony and reception locations on their restrictions, especially related to wedding videos. Many place restrict the number of cameras, whether they are manned or not and some even if you can have video at all. This is your big day and don't settle for a place if it will not allow you to properly capture it for your big day.
If you are getting married at a location that charges admission or parking, make arrangements for all your wedding vendors to get in or park, whether that means you pay for them ahead of time or you reimburse them. Some places may even comp the fees for your vendors.
Provide your wedding vendors with as much information as possible, including the names of your other vendors. This information will allow the vendors to communicate prior to the wedding, so we can work together for a better and smoother flowing day.
Consider the lighting you plan on having, especially related to video. The darker you make it, the lower quality of the video will be. The use of on camera lights or other light sources may be needed to capture acceptable quality video, but may ultimately distract the guests. We use lights only when necessary and try to use them as unobtrusively as possible.
