The checklist for planning a wedding may seem endless. Couples do not realize how hard and time consuming planning a wedding can be until they actually go through the process of planning their own wedding. There are the obvious tasks, like deciding on the venue, choosing the perfect wedding stationary and purchasing the wedding gown. And there are the not so obvious tasks, like choosing a wedding theme, agreeing on the perfect centerpiece for the tables and selecting the genre of music.
No doubt, wedding services have come a long way. Today, couples have access to wedding vendors that can make wedding planning a much less tedious process. For one, couples may choose to hire a wedding planner, who not only has experience but is very well-equipped to handle the entire process from A to Z. While couples are still the final decision makers, the experience and know-how of a wedding planner significantly helps in reducing the stress associated with planning every task. Most venues also have in-house wedding planners and organizers who are able to assist the couple in selecting the required vendors.
But not all couples have the required budgets for hiring a wedding planner. What then? Couples may browse through a UAE wedding vendor directory or sort through magazines to select the appropriate wedding vendors. But on what basis should a decision be made?
Take, for example, selecting a videographer for your wedding. White, a UAE wedding information resource , lists a variety of wedding photographers and videographers. Setting aside timing and budget constraints, couples may not do their homework when selecting a videographer. For one, it is very important that a couple views a videographer’s portfolio of work before finalizing a deal. Anyone can shoot a video. It is the final outcome that makes the difference; quality of picture, clarity of sound, experience in capturing the spontaneous moments, and most importantly, communicating the story. You also want to make sure that the videographer has experience in weddings and is able to meet your needs. You do not want your wedding day footage to fall victim to generic and sappy video editing. Providing a unique touch always goes a long way. All in all, there needs to be a compelling enough reason to pay for the services of a videographer versus assigning this task to Uncle Pete.
As you can see on White, a wedding website in UAE, videographers vary in style. Professional videographers usually have a website that displays a portfolio of their work. Browse through Rebecca Hobday’s website to get a feel for what’s involved in professional wedding photography and videography and to get you started on your vision of how your wedding day should be portrayed.
