It’s clear that a wedding video is a visual production that captures the most special day of your life but what’s important to me is that sound isn’t ignored either. During your ceremony and speeches I use a radio microphone to obtain crisp audio and throughout the sequences that are set to the music of your choice I find it very important to include short snippets of clear audio in them. It brings out the atmosphere of the day but is very easy to get wrong if not given the correct time and care. I met yesterday with a couple who said this was very important to them too and this was one of the reasons they decided to book my services – it’s great to know that we’re on the same wavelength.

Sunday, March 7th, 2010Wedding Video Music Choices???????????????
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010So….which songs would you like in your wedding video? It’s a difficult choice and if it’s taking you an eternity to choose, don’t worry – nearly everyone finds it difficult. My advise is always to take your time and really think what songs are special and important to you. Don’t be worried about genre, pace or tone. The only issue that might arise regards lyrics, or inappropriate lyrics. An example would be You’re Beautiful by James Blunt. As “beautiful” as the song may be the lyrics basically say “I’ll have to face the truth, I will never be with you.” So my advise is to make sure the lyrics are appropriate but don’t worry about the style of track – if you love it, use it. Remember it’ll be those songs that are forever on your DVD so make sure you’re happy with your choices. My Video Samples Page will give you some ideas of track choices I’ve received and the two End Highlights sequences are indeed poles apart in terms of style. One features a beautiful piano track called River Flows in You by Yiruma. Another features a terrific dance track called Saltwater by Chicane. Both are totally different but both fit the mood perfectly.
