Will Your Wedding Vows be Captured on Video?

This is a common question and the simple answer is, yes, Yes, YES! This is a huge part of your day and future as a couple. Something couples look back on for years on their wedding video to hear those special words they first said to each other. So while the obvious answer to this question is an astounding YES, let me explain the process of capturing your vows and other special audio throughout the day.

Wedding Ceremony Audio

During the ceremony, we generally use three different sources to capture audio.

• DJ Board: We have devices that plug directly into the DJ booth and capture all audio coming through the mic and speakers, including the vows, readings, etc.

• Lav Mic: Since sometimes during the vows, you are not speaking directly into the DJ’s microphone, we will put a wireless lavaliere mic on the groom’s lapel. This is a discrete device that will assure backup audio during that intimate moment/

• On-Camera Mic: The last way that audio is captured is from the camera’s shotgun microphone that will capture the audio in a more natural way, as your audience hears it.

All together these 3 methods assure you will get all perspectives of your special words to one another during the wedding ceremony. And as a side note, during the reception, these methods are also applicable to capture toasts, speeches and more!

Have You Worked with My Photographer?

Working with Photographers During Wedding Videography

As a videographer, that is a question we hear a lot. From a customer’s perspective the reasoning is clear, they want their videographer and photographer to work seamlessly together. Lucky for I Do Video clients, our videographers have covered thousands of weddings over the years so have not only worked with a lot of photographers directly but more importantly have worked with photographers of all styles.

So the answer to that popular question varies, you can be assured that your quality videographer will be experienced enough to mesh with whatever array of vendor you have dedicated for your day.

In fact, I Do Video has been a popular referral for some of the top Chicagoland photographers including:

• G Reyes Photography

• Something Blue

• Neri Photo

• Jamie Campenelli Photography

• And More!

Some other common vendors that play a role in your day are the wedding coordinator, DJ and venue. For the same reasons above, you can be confident that your wedding videographer is able to cover your wedding and do an outstanding job, with any type of team.

Perks of a Social Media Package for Your Wedding

We live in an age of here and now. People are excited to see and share their special moments. Your wedding will take that to a new level! And for good reason! However most brides don’t have time to be posting to their insta feed or sharing a story (wedding dresses don’t have pockets lol). The good news if your videographer is there to do this for you! While most videographers will create these wedding videos for you to see weeks later, Leo offers a custom Instagram package that will include photos and videos the SAME DAY of your wedding and more!

Wedding Day Instagram Story

From the details and the dress, to the first look, first kiss and special moments, Leo captures it all. Except he will share those most memorable moments directly to an Instagram story, with your tags and awesome hashtags so all your friends, family and loved ones can share in your special day as well! Don’t worry, nothing is shared until AFTER your initial reveal.

Post-Wedding Instagram Clips

The anticipation to see your wedding video after the celebration is intense! We understand that and Leo will also post behind the scenes looks at your wedding day to his Instagram feed, so you can see what is in-store. From drone shots to #FridayBrideday, you can expect to see some of the most stunning clips throughout your experience. This way, you and your close friends can share in the leadup to your big wedding video premier!

Benefits of Raw Footage from Wedding Video

If you’ve been to a wedding, you know that a lot is going on! From the bride and groom to the decorations, so much is happening! That is why people choose to add a wedding videographer in order to capture this! Our wedding videographers in Chicago do this to perfection! But all wedding videos have their limit, which is why we always suggest to take advantage of the raw footage we offer.

Raw footage from your wedding video are basically the uncut, unedited video clips that are captured throughout the day. So even though your uncle breaking it down on the dance floor may not always make your wedding video, all those infamous moments is included within the raw footage. These hours of footage can be enjoyed for years to come!
