How to get a great price for a great wedding video

Finding an affordable wedding videographer can be difficult these days with all of the choices. Camera prices have fallen and it is now possible for anyone to own a high quality camera. Even iphones have such good optics that its possible to get great footage. But knowing how to create beautiful cinematography goes way beyond having the right camera. I'll show you how important it is to choose the right wedding video pro and how to do it. Learning cinematography is very complicated process. Understanding frame rates, resolution, stabilization, story, editing techniques and choreographing movements of subjects and cameras while keeping composition in check over time. Yes, you can shoot amazing video on a smartphone with with right knowledge and planning. But a great film maker can use any camera and make a better film than any armature with a $50K RED camera. It comes down to knowing what you want your final product to look like before you show up to film that day. Finding an affordable wedding videographer can be as simple as watching youtube videos shot in the area where you will be getting married. Search for #weddingvideoscolorado on instagram if you are getting married in Colorado. You can save money on travel expenses if your videographer does not need to fly anywhere. However some videographers like myself will offer a huge discount for the option to shoot at a nice beach resort. If the price was going to be $2500 for a wedding video package, and it costs $900 for flight, room, and travel expenses, you can end up getting the video for less than the original cost. Only $1900. This benefits the videographer and the couple. The videographer gets a beautiful vacation and unique shooting location for his portfolio, and you save hundreds of dollars on your video package.
