Rangefinder Magazine Foresees Shift to Videography Over Photography

John Rettie, a columnist at Rangefinder magazine, a very well-known magazine among photographers, wrote in the October 2006 issue, about the ever-increasing popularity of videography among young couples getting married.

Here is an excerpt from his column:

…I foresee a shift towards videography and away from still photography in coming years….

Essentially it boils down to customer expectations—what is it they want? Video is growing in popularity. It’s all over the internet, and even newspapers are now shooting video for use on their websites….

Gone are the days of boring, lightly edited documentary-style videos. Instead the leading wedding videographers are producing movie-style stories with dramatic editing and emotional images….

Videography is still more complicated than still photography, partly because sound has to be added to the dimension, and it requires a totally different mindset while shooting. However, as we move forward, young people are more interested in video than stills….

Bottom line—I predict that within 10 years, if not sooner, a majority of brides will hire only a videographer to cover their wedding, or at the very least prioritize spending money on a videographer first, with the still photographer being a secondary consideration.

Like Rettie, most brides don’t realize the movie-style stories that Kairos Moment Wedding Films produces. Your wedding video doesn’t have to be boring or dull. If you want to remember the feeling of your wedding day, if you want to be taken back to the time when you first kissed as husband and wife, if you want to remember the precious and solemn vows you declared to one another as you came before God, think Kairos Moment Wedding Films.

A Complete Cinematic Wedding Film For Your Viewing Pleasure

For those of you interested in what a whole, complete wedding film looks like, Kairos Moment Wedding Films is posting a full cinematic wedding film for your viewing pleasure :)

Diane was a stunningly beautiful bride and you can tell that Diane and Richard are madly in love with each other! It’s so great to see people who are unashamedly in love :)

Opening Credits

Introducing the bridal party… with STYLE!

Wedding Prep

Getting ready for the big day. Watch as Richard leaves a special message just for Diane!

Wedding Ceremony

Diane and Richard had a beautiful ceremony! One nice surprise during the ceremony was that they had a bell ringer ushering in the bride by announcing to everyone that, “The bride is coming! The bride is coming!”

Thanks to our small, discreet microphones, we were able to capture the vows clearly as well as some intimate moments as Richard gets ready to kiss his bride!

Reception

Diane and Richard’s reception was a great example of what nice lighting during the reception can do for the final wedding film!

Partly due to the fantastic lighting (but mostly due to the great love that Richard and Diane share ;), our cameras were able to pick up and show you just how in love these two really are!

For those of you who are considering turning the lights down during your reception, I urge you to reconsider as you watch this clip. The mood is equally intimate, special, and appealing, and looks even better on film!

Another thing to look for… during the bouquet toss, watch as the colors from the flowers “spill” all over the place! :)

Congratulations, Richard & Diane!
