The afternoon was lazily rolling by last Sunday as a bunch of us girls chatted about everything and anything under the sun. There was something to talk about from piano classes to dog training, from weddings to cake baking…and not forgetting the next big upcoming sale! As we talked, a friend of mine pulled out of her bag, a stack of videos labeled ‘wedding video’ and we instantly pounced on her! Wedding video! You see, she had her wedding only a couple of weeks back and we have been waiting for the wedding video to be out all that time. We had a splendid time during her wedding in Long Island and were eager to see how drunk and hilariously absurd we all were behaving that day.

The wedding videographer was a professional one who hung around everywhere. It almost seem as though he was everywhere all the time…turns out, he had an assistant with a different set of equipment! Told you we had one glass too many. Anyway, she passed each one of us a copy of the wedding video each and as I watched mine at home, I wished we were all watching it together and laughing, smiling, sobbing and crying together. I have to say that the wedding videographer did a lovely job capturing every single smile and tear with the magical lens of his. Plus I think he had a good video editor who seem to cut and paste the video together like it was a story albeit a melodramatic-yet-comedic one. This wedding videographer is, indeed, a good one.

If you want your wedding day to be put onto video properly so that you can look back at your wedding day fondly together with your children, please don’t scrounge on the videographer. If you don’t hire a professional videographer for your wedding, at least make sure your cousin or friend knows how to take every opportunity that flies by him or her seriously. One moment missed is one memorable clip gone, so, hire a good wedding videographer for your wedding. You won’t regret it because thirty years down the road, you’ll look back at it and be reminded of all the good moments you had during your wedding. Sigh!
