Some may say, "I have a friend who I invited to the wedding who will take photos for me or shoot my video." Please give careful and thoughtful consideration to this, as you invited this friend to share in your joy, why have them shoulder the responsibility of capturing your wedding photos? Let them relax and be your guest, and hire a professional to photograph your wedding. This advice we give you especially with a destination wedding, you'll want to hire someone familiar with the beautiful surroundings in your photos. If it is an experienced professional wedding photographer they will know how to set their cameras and flash to capture the beauty, not only of the two of you but also what is surrounding you. Is the equipment being used ready? are the batteries charged up? is the media card formatted? is the camera lens clean? and most important do they know how to use the camera? When you go and process the final product and see the results does it make you cry happy tears, or shake your head and weep, knowing the emotional moment is gone and can never be repeated?
When considering your wedding video, this is a timeless treasure, will the introduction invite you to view more, will you hear the audio of the ceremony? Will you hear the loving whispers between the two of you? With an off-camera wireless microphone you will. Will it be a steady shot? is a tripod used? Are you able to feel the emotion you felt on that day again and again?
These everlasting memories are timeless treasures to share. A moment in your lives which on your anniversary you'll want to go back to with each other, preserve this in photos or video of both! Consider a professional photo/video company that is compatible and knowledgeable with not only each other but of the location, so your final product will be complimentary in style, approach, and artistry.
Whether it is an elopement your planning with just the two of you, or the social event of the year with friends and family present to celebrate with you, time will age these memories and loved ones you hold dear, what care have you taken to preserve moments in your life you'll want to relive, and share with your children and grandchildren, before they fade beyond recognition.
