The All-in-One Promise

“It slices! It dices! It grates! It will even julienne french fries.” Somewhere along the way, on TV or at a trade show, we’ve all heard a salesman promise their tool can replace every other tool in your kitchen. Yet, when you get home, you discover that while the gadget will do all of the tasks on the list, it doesn’t slice as well as the knife, dice as well as the foot processor, grate as well as the grater or julienne the fries the way you like them.  Believe it or not, some photographers will try to tell you they can do it all, too.  They’ll tell you that you don’t actually need a wedding videographer!

Regardless of the size of your wedding budget, it’s hard to fit everything you want into what you can afford to spend.  When a photographer says they can put a single package together to replace multiple  vendors and do so at an attractive price, it’s tempting to cut corners.  When they tell you they can provide a video along with their other services, here are some things to consider.

Length of the Finished Video

When a photographer tells you they can be your videographer, too, ask them the length of the finished video.  You may discover your “video” isn’t a video after all.

Highlight videos to share online with family and friends are quite popular, but that’s not the same thing as a professionally-produced full-length wedding video.  We include a highlight video as part of our packages and you can choose from several styles, but sometimes highlight videos are merely a slideshow created from a series of photos. The primary differences in videography and photography are movement and sound, as in photography doesn’t have any.  Sharing the action is more fun when there is actually action.  So when your photographer tells you the length of his finished video, you’ll know that anything shorter than a full length Hollywood movie might not even be a video.

Type of Camera

When it comes to cameras, photographers usually shoot video with a DSLR, a digital single-lens reflex camera.  The videos from these devices are great, but there’s one drawback.  They only have 29 minutes of recording time and then they shut off – automatically.  What if that 30th minute is when you say I do?

Sometimes photographers will try to cover up the shortcoming by suggesting that no one has time to watch a full length video and they can capture the highlights with their camera.  The problem is most highlights don’t come with a warning signal.  Those moments are the spontaneous, unexpected treasures a dedicated videographer will capture, because their camera keeps on rolling for hours and hours.  Then we choose the best moments to include in your video and add scene selection so you can watch as little or as much as you want to at any given time.

The Unmanned Videocamera

The most expensive thing about videography is the videographer.  Some photographers overcome the shortcomings of a DSLR by actually setting up a videocamera, but most leave it running without anyone to monitor it while they photograph the wedding.  While this brings movement and sound to the video, the resulting video will be stale when compared with a video actively recorded by a professional videographer and the sound will not have the quality of ours.

When our videographer is recording he’s using all the features of the camera to follow the action, get wide shots and then adjust the videocamera for close-ups.  The stationary camera is going to get the action, but only from one focal point, so there is no variety to make it interesting.  A dedicated videographer can also monitor several audio tracks.  We put wireless mics on key players, bring wireless hand mics in case they are needed and can plug directly into the venue’s sound system, all while the videocamera is picking up the ambient sound.  Then we mix it with the video to feature natural sounding audio for your video.  It makes a huge difference in your enjoyment of your wedding video.

Some Do It Right

While many photographers take shortcuts to provide videos at a reduced price, there are actually photographers who do it right.  They use a real videocamera and they hire videographers to do the recording.  They’ll cost more than the ones we’ve been describing, but you’ll be happier with the finished product.  We just happen to think you’ll be happiest with LeniCam Video Productions as your wedding videographer.  Call us and let’s discuss your wedding.  We’ll find a way for you to afford what you really want, a full-length, professionally-edited wedding video customized to your specifications.

You’ve been planning for months, maybe even years, for the most important day of your life – your wedding day –  and the last, big question you should asking yourself is, ‘Should I hire a professional Dallas wedding videographer?’

Here’s how hiring a professional Dallas wedding videographer makes the difference between a hide-it-in-the-back-of-the-bookshelf record of your wedding and a record you’ll cherish and want to look at time and time again:

1 – No More Guessing Games

When you ask an amateur to do you a favor and make a video record of your wedding day and they promise to do the job, how sure can you be that they’ll be there when the time comes?  Will they remember?  How often do you remind them?  Will they resent being told over and over to be there at a certain time on a certain day?  What if the relative or friend or friend-of-a-friend has a sick child or some other kind of emergency that day, will they be able to show up? You won’t have to ask those questions about a professional videographer. Here at LeniCam we put your special day first.

2 – No More Missed Shots

A professional Dallas wedding videographer has experienced many, many weddings and will know exactly where to be to record everything important that happens.  While your wedding is going to be unique for you, a professional videographer has likely seen some variation of anything you might plan for your wedding and he’ll know best how to capture it on camera.  You might even be surprised when you watch your wedding video how much your videographer has captured.  An amateur with one camera, dashing from one place to another, is going to miss so many of those surprising moments.

3 – No More Shaky Cam

You know the home movies you can’t stand to watch – the ones where everything is so jumpy and shaky you get motion-sickness looking at them?  Jumpy and shaky might be fine for recording a road trip to the beach; but simply inadequate for recording your wedding day.  Professional videographers have all of the right equipment including dollies, tripods and image stabilizers that keep images from jiggling across your screen.  Our professionals also have the equipment to shoot from multiple camera angles, to capture audio on high-quality sound equipment and to edit footage of the event to create a polished end product.  They can do everything they need to do without disrupting the ceremony or becoming the center of attention.

4 – No More Resentful Wedding Guests

When you ask a friend or relative to shoot video of your wedding, they won’t be able to enjoy the wedding.  And, depending on how patient and forgiving they are, that means your free videographer could end up petering out somewhere between the bouquet toss and the conga line.  Hiring a professional means everyone you invite to your wedding will be there to relax and enjoy the day without having to work.

If your North Texas wedding is going to be special, memorable and fun and you’ve already rented the perfect romantic venue, why don’t you hesitate to hire a professional when it comes to documenting your most important day.

Tying the Knot? Come to the Bridal Show!

Dallas Wedding Videographer Preparing for the Dallas Bridal Show at Market Hall

Even though we’ve barely gotten our trade show paraphernalia back on the shelf from the Plano Centre Bridal Show, we’re about to load it up again. Bridal Shows, Inc., which sponsors six different shows in the DFW Metroplex, will have its Dallas Bridal Show on July 25-26 at Dallas Market Hall.  This is the show-of-shows for the Dallas area, so LeniCam Video Productions, your Dallas Wedding Videographer, will be there to meet you.

Exhibiting Excitement

Dallas is an important city for the bridal industry.  Some metropolitan areas never see anything like a trade show just for brides, while Dallas brides are treated to wonderful shows throughout the year from several bridal show companies.  Each show has its own personality, but no other show has the energy of a Bridal Shows, Inc. event.

At the helm of Bridal Shows, Inc. is Naomi Butler a bundle of excitement if there ever was one.  She is passionate about connecting brides-to-be with potential vendors and she sees the Bridal Show, Inc. events as the very best way for that to happen.  Throughout the year she networks to get all the very best wedding vendors into Dallas Market Hall for the bi-annual events, held in January and July, as well as for the other shows they organize.  She even teaches seminars for the vendors so they can make the most of the opportunity.

One hallmark of the Dallas Bridal Show is the extraordinary Fashion Show presented each day of the event.    Brides-to-be pack into the temporary auditorium to see the latest dresses on the catwalk.  If you want to visit the vendor booths without a crowd, either come in the mornings or during the fashion show.

Another favorite of attendees is cake-tasting.  So far nine bakeries are scheduled to be at the show and each one of them is dying for you to taste their cake.  And speaking of tasting – you’ll be able to taste treats from a number of caterers and venues also.

This year Naomi has also booked Donnie Brown, Dallas’ Wedding Coordinator to the Stars, to share his ideas with the show’s attendees.  Make time in your day at the show to hear what Donnie says at his seminar.

Make your plans now to be at Market Hall, Saturday and Sunday, July 25-26, 2016, 10AM to 5 PM for the Dallas Bridal Show.

When you’re considering everything you need to budget for your upcoming event, you must include the services of a good videographer, and here’s why.

Wedding Videographers Capture the Moment

A good videographer captures the moment with high quality equipment and great sound quality. Skill, experience and talent are all factors that a professional videographer pulls from to capture your most sacred moments. There’s no better way to capture life’s greatest moments than with the help of an experienced professional videographer.

Relive the Moment

By choosing a videographer that shoots from different angles and has an eye for capturing the most memorable activities in a crowded event you can see and enjoy the moments you didn’t even know happened and relive the very best of your special occasion.

It’s important to look at some of the past work that the videographer has done in order to determine their level of skill. You want to look at the quality of videos that are produced as well as the production level.

Ask yourself if the quality of work makes you feel like they’re able to capture your special occasion and enable you to relive it with quality coverage and video production.

Share the Moment

Imagine being able to share your high school graduation or wedding day with your very own children — or even better, show your teenager how much they cried the day they were born. A professional Dallas wedding videographer can produce a video far better than most amateurs can, including music and other production effects that make your memorable moments truly magical.

When you have a special occasion that you want to remember, you have to make the very best decision the first time. After all, you will not get a second chance to capture that moment. That’s why it’s so important to have a good list of criteria that helps you make the right decision of a Dallas wedding videographer.

So don’t wait another moment, call LeniCam Productions at 972-378-0446 today to learn more about how they can help you capture your special moments.
