How to Film a Wedding

With the economy going down, more and more people are wanting to get some money on the side and filming weddings are a great way to go. It is one of the ways a lot of people enter the video market is to start by filming friends and family weddings. This is something you shouldn’t take lightly since a wedding is a very important day for more than just the bride and groom. On one hand, it can be easy but it does take some skill and experience to anticipate what happens next. Please keep in mind, that if you are diving into this field, then please do your homework. Talk to the bride and groom about the order or service, what they expect, what they want on the DVD and when you’ll give them the final product…and stick to it. I’ve heard from a lot of couples that waited a year or more to get the DVD from their friend who filmed it, but never “got around to it”.

If you are wanting to get experience by filming your family members wedding and then go on to film people you don’t know, you better get your prices together and a system to make each wedding easy on yourself. You don’t want to spend 40+ hours editing a wedding when it should take you around 20 hours to edit.

I’ve developed some products to help beginners dive into the wedding market. Don’t risk this important day for the family by assuming you can film and edit a wedding. Get some tool kits that will help you. I love helping people and developed them with the beginner in mind.
