How to Ensure Your Wedding is HD Video Quality

Every bride and bridesmaid will have considered which bespoke bridal gowns are essential for the wedding day, as well as which hairdresser and make-up artist should be employed. The photographer will be booked, but when you consider making video of your day, how can you achieve Hollywood standards so that everyone reviewing your wedding day will be watching an Academy Award’s winner?

Why HD?

HD, also known as high definition recording can be the difference between an "ok" result or a brilliant one. Although every advertisement appears to offer HD quality in their video equipment, often what is really being provided is a standard definition - which may not be sufficient for your needs.

Many cheap video cameras and smart-phones wouldn’t do justice to your big day and those painstakingly designed bespoke bridal gowns if they record at a lower level than you expect. What high-definition does is bring a much sharper imagery to the film because it is able to record more to every frame. It can provide you with more editing abilities, too, so if you employ a professional, they will be able to edit the day’s events and provide you with a high definition video that will be far superior to anything available a decade ago.

Manage your expectations

The editing process is not something the videographer will be able to complete in a day, however; and like the time and effort taken in meeting with your designer for fitting for bespoke bridal gowns, you may meet with your video editing professional on several occasions before the final product is delivered.

There are no major disadvantages of choosing HD quality video, except that it can often be more difficult to hide any problems with skin that is imperfect. The high definition quality will pick up everything because it is designed to present the finest detail.

Although many wedding video professionals may offer HD quality during the recording and editing phases, it is likely that the cost will be higher than standard definition – so bear that in mind. The editing software costs more for them to purchase, so that is, in turn, translated to the final price to you.

When choosing a videographer, it pays to take time to look at the quality of their work - not just to clarify that HD quality is right for you, but to ensure they are experienced in filming such an important event as your wedding day. You may be able to select a videographer by recommendations from friends who had a great experience and an HD quality video that you are able to watch. Alternatively, take your time and interview a few experts until you feel pleased with your decision.
