Free Wedding Rehearsal Video Coverage
Wedding videography in itself is an art unlike many others. It requires a skill set not often realized and takes an enormous amount of behind the scenes preparation in order to adequately prepare for shooting the big day. Whether the ceremony is on the beaches of the California coast, or as Far East as San Joaquin County, Simply Interactive makes the same preparations to get ready to be an effective wedding videographer for you.
A wedding is every directors worst nightmare. Why? Because we cannot control what is going on... only try to influence, prepare, and anticipate. If we miss a moment, the moment is gone forever and to redo it may look good on camera, but it will never feel the same as you are watching the video years later.
So this is why every package we offer comes with Rehearsal coverage. Every now and then someone will ask me if they can knock a little off the price of our wedding packages by not requiring that we go to the rehearsal. My answer is always the following:
Yes, you are paying a little more to have us there on the day of the rehearsal. On this day we video not only the
dry runs, but also get crucial architecture, landscaping, scenic, and natural shots of the bride and groom. We arrive sometimes two hours before the rehearsal to set up and take our time with this part of our job and also make sure we have enough time to get the bride and groom while not in their gown and tux.
But we are there not just for you. We have a commitment to offering quality-wedding videography and my dedication to perfection forces me to be as prepared as possible by attending every rehearsal. The only way to be totally prepared for a live event with less than 5 cameras is to see what is happening first.
Today someone really made my day. You see, I know we are not the least expensive videography company out there. So when someone compares Simply interactive to another less expensive company and still comes back and signs a contract with Simply Interactive it is pretty flattering. I have to post this quote because it really made me feel great:
Rusty, we talked to another videographer yesterday who was 300 dollars less expensive than you. And we really liked some of the things that he did in his videos -- but we really liked the way you offer your services, and we really felt comfortable with you -- so can you do... [at this point he asks me if I can do the effects and scenes like he saw the other videographer do]
