Bad videography...

I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine about the sudden flooding of bad videographers offering wedding and event packages for ridiculously low rates. In todays current economy when people are looking to save money, it can be tempting to hire some of these companies to lower the cost of their weddings.  THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE! Wedding videography and photography is not where a bride and groom should look to cut costs.  Hiring a low cost videographer can mean the difference between a wedding video that you want to watch over and over again, and a video that looks like uncle Jim took his hand held video camera and hit record and let the camera capture what it does and only use the on camera mic to record sound from the PA speakers, only then to take the video and fill it with horrible cheesy generic graphics and transitions. Hiring a quality videographer is key in making sure a wedding or event is captured and edited properly.  People forget that a wedding video is how they are going to remember everything about one of the most important day in their lives.  Wedding videos are an investment not a whimsical add on.
