I am often asked if I provide a wedding video service – I don’t – and in the following post I’ll try and explain why.
Firstly the main reason I do not offer wedding videography is that I am a qualified wedding photographer (not videographer) – would you employ a local plumber to build you a garden wall ?
I recently attended a trade show in Birmingham where I met with quite a few photographers who were considering offering a video service as part of their wedding photography packages. This is mainly due to the capability of top end DSLR’s ability to shoot HDR video. I think this can only have a negative effect on the service provided – shooting a wedding is difficult enough as it is without adding to the workload. Personally I think that you would be presented with a below average wedding video, and due to the extra workload, a sub standard set of wedding photographs – just think of the number of photo opportunities missed by shooting video and vice versa. This works both ways – many wedding videographers will consider offering a photography service by using a tool that can shoot both formats.
If you require a wedding videographer to video your South Wales wedding then Silver Birch Photography recommends that you contact Richard at Aurora Video. Richard offers a contemporary and unobstrusive style of wedding videography that thoroughly compliments our style of wedding photography. Aurora Video is based in Blackwood, Gwent, and just like Silver Birch Photography offers coverage throughout South Wales and the Westcountry including the Cardiff, Newport, Bridgend, Swansea, Bristol and Bath areas.
