Wedding Video Pitfalls: Expert Tips to Ensure Every Detail is Captured To
Perfection
George Street Photo & Video Shares Simple Secrets on How To Flawlessly
Document Your Wedding Day & What Brides Should Know, But Don't

CHICAGO, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ --  Planning a wedding can be overwhelming and
tedious; yet the day itself will fly right by. That's why it's important for
brides and grooms-to-be, to pay careful attention to capturing every moment
and perfectly documenting their special day. What many often don't realize
until it's too late, is that the videography can make or break how they recall
these memories for years to come.

Dan Creviston of George Street Photo and Video has helped thousands of couples
navigate this process and can shed light on the critical concepts brides and
grooms must consider. "With technology changing constantly and countless
options to explore, it's crucial that they know what questions to ask, in
order to make informed decisions, avoid the pitfalls and perfect their
videography. They only get one chance to get it right," he explains.

To ensure flawless videos that capture every detail, George Street Photo &
Video spotlights the top 5 pitfalls to avoid when selecting a videography
package:

    1. Not Using Multiple Cameras -Too few videographers actually use dual
       cameras. By doing so, the videographer can capture multiple
perspectives
       simultaneously and better tell the story. For example, they can capture
       both the bride walking down the aisle AND the groom's reaction at the
       same time. Inside Tip: Many videographers cut corners by only having
one
       HD camera rather than two. Be sure BOTH cameras are HD otherwise the
       clarity and quality will be inconsistent!
    2. Not Going High Definition - Odds are that if you don't own a large flat
       screen television you soon will. By going HD, couples ensure their
videos
       are the absolute best quality and avoid limited clarity and pixilation.
       This option also provides more channels for capturing top quality
audio,
       the best sound mix and retouching is also an option! In addition HD
       provides widescreen video imaging, and eliminates the appearance of
black
       bars with standard definition view. Inside Tip: There should be no
extra
       charge for HD, so avoid companies that do.
    3. Not Understanding High Definition Technology: Making sure that you are
       truly getting the highest quality HD shooting sounds simple, but can
get
       quite confusing if you don't know the particulars. For the highest
       quality and clarity, you must have HD footage prior to uploading into
an
       HD format. For example - you must shoot in HD, then burn onto a blu-ray
       disc. Inside Tip: Some videographers shoot in standard definition and
       burn onto a blu-ray disc - this is not truly HD! Make sure to know the
       difference so you aren't tricked.
    4. Not Requesting Multiple DVD Formats - It's only a matter of time until
       you have a blu-ray player, so get your wedding video on an HD blu-ray
       disc as well as a standard definition DVD. This is important to enable
       your video to maintain top quality and clarity for the future! Inside
       Tip: There should be no additional charge to obtain copies in both
       formats.

    5. Not Chatting With Your Videographer A Week In Advance - It's important
to
       discuss all details with your videographer before the wedding day, so
       check in one week prior so that instructions are fresh. Discuss all
your
       expectations and if you have specific requests, express them clearly.
       This is especially important for locations as churches, synagogues,
       mosques and chapels may have specific areas that cannot be filmed. You
       don't want any unwelcome surprises!
