Evolution of the Wedding Video: Your Williamsburg Wedding Videographer Has Come A Long, Long Way!

Ah, yes…the Golden Age of wedding videography! Grainy black and white images, jerky movements…black and white spots running across the screen and garbled audio (or none at all) and images that ended abruptly with the tape itself. Once considered state-of-the-art, those cherished 8mm films of your parents and grandparents are classics indeed!

In reality, the “good old days” of wedding recordings began in the early 1980’s with the introduction of the first camcorder for private use. Not only did everybody’s Uncle Fred offer to take videos of the weddings of family and friends, but once he began to have some success, the business of professional wedding videography began in earnest. Reminiscent of the pioneering days of photography, the size of the video camera itself was prohibitive, and not even the most flawless bride could look perfect under the glare of klieg lights! The excess of equipment was, to some, an unwanted distraction during the event itself and the finished product was…well…also classic!

Today’s digital equipment is sleek, compact and quiet, providing a quality of high definition video your grandparents could only dream about. No longer just random frontal shots of the bride and groom walking down the aisle, or a dance floor full of bobbing heads, today’s videos are distinctive and personal audio and video albums of the entire wedding event. Chronicling everything from the bride’s pre-wedding preparations, to the very last moment of the reception, these experts can also include music videos, biographies and family histories.

A discreet and professional Williamsburg wedding videographer can record even the most candid moments without interruption, catch spontaneous developments and capture the magic and emotion of the day in exactly the manner you request…without ever running out of tape!
