Finding a professional wedding videographer is extremely important, because the final product would be something that you can cherish for years to come. We found an excellent article written by Alex A.Lluch, the author of over three million books sold and President of weddingsolutions.com.We highlighted what we thought would be the most interesting and informative information from the article, and added some information about our company that will help you get to know us a little bit better.

In his article Alex A. Lluch writes, “The question is not if you should have video any more… video is fast becoming a must at all weddings. The only question is: Who to choose and how do you find the right videographer for your day? Make sure you’re hiring a professional videographer that specializes in shooting and editing weddings. Weddings are very specialized events. A $1000 video camera in the hands of a seasoned professional wedding videographer will produce far better results than just an average camera operator with a $15000 camera.”

Visualaz has the state of the art equipment, that is operated by the most qualified professionals who underwent training in Hollywood. We use two to three cameras along with a Steadicam at most of our weddings. Steadicam allows us to “fly” wherever you are- up and down the steps, indoors and outside, through crowds-almost anywhere. With a Steadicam we are able to bring amazing floating and natural shots to the wedding film.

“It’s important to know who will be handling the editing of your production.” By working directly with top designers, editors, and animators in the industry, we deliver the most personalized work, and make it different from everyone else. Igor Boshoer is one of the key people at Visualaz who does video editing, visual effects work, and compositing. He is an aspiring FX technical director, who holds a bachelors degree from NYU, and is pursuing his graduate degree in computer graphics at Columbia University. He has worked on high-end and pre-vis commercial work for BMW, Downy, Rubbermaid, and many others.

“There are basically two types of wedding video productions you can choose from. One is a documentary type production; the other is more of a cinematic type production. The documentary type video delivers just as it states – your wedding day as it happened, in real time. Editing is minimal. The videographer will shoot the events as they happen and deliver a DVD/Blue-ray that will allow you to view your day as it happened. Very little editing is involved. These types of productions are normally less expensive and can be delivered in only a few days after the wedding The cinematic type video delivers more of a “movie” type of production. Although it can be shot with one camera, most good cinematic wedding videos are shot with two cameras allowing one videographer to focus on the “events” as they happen while the other gathers footage that will later be used to enhance the production. Some videographers spend as much as 25 – 30hrs of studio time editing these types of videos.”

Visualaz offers both styles – a documentary style production of the day, along with a “cinematic” film. We specialize in love stories / short films, and photo / video montages. The love stories that we produce give you an opportunity to become a star in your own movie. From an idea, to screen play, and to the final movie- it is an experience of a lifetime.

In his article Alex A. Lluch also writes, “Beware: As in photography, there are many companies with more than one videographer. These companies often use the work of the best videographer to sell their packages and then send a less experienced videographer to the wedding. Again, don’t get caught in this trap! Be sure to interview the videographer who will shoot your wedding so you can get a good idea of his/her style and personality. Ask to see his/her own work.”
