Meet Anne from Inspiration Video located in Grandville of West Michigan. Anne is a leading videographer in the West Michigan wedding industry and so talented in her ability to capture your story.
Why is it important to hire a videographer? First, it is important to have video to fully capture your day. I believe it is important to have photos as well, but photos will not capture what was said in your vows, your toasts, etc. I believe video is the best way to truly feel like you can relive your wedding day over and over.
Next, it is important to have it professionally done, and not by a friend or relative. Your friend wants to be a guest as well, and is going to miss things that the professional should not. Finally, the quality of the video should be that much better taken from a person who does this for a living.
How long does it take to edit and finish a wedding video? I usually take under a week to edit a video, but since often times we have multiple weddings on a weekend, I let clients know that the turn around time is 3-6 weeks to receive their video after their wedding day.
What are your favorite things to shoot during weddings? I love shooting during the getting ready times prior to the ceremony, and the picture taking times between the ceremony and reception. Often people think that the ceremony and reception are the only important times to have captured. But there are so many great, unplanned moments that happen before and in between the two main events, and that adds so much more emotion to my work.
Do you only shoot weddings? I quickly realized during my first year of business, that weddings were going to be my favorite aspect of my business. I had purchased very high end equipment, thinking that I would be doing mostly corporate work, and it turned out that it was very handy to have that good of equipment at weddings as well. I was able to get shots that not every professional camera can get. I believe it gave me a good edge in the business nine years ago, and then things just started to take off.
