The importance of co-operation between your photographer & videographer

The “flow” of a wedding or any event for that matter, is oftentimes a critical cue as to the behind-the-scenes planning of the event.

Many weddings are “perfectly imperfect,” – meaning that on the surface, you can be assured that as seamless as they appear to wedding guests; there were carefully camouflaged problems and damage controls which were masterfully orchestrated, by wedding professionals behind the scenes.

This, of course, largely depends on the synergy of the wedding vendors you have chosen. Should wedding vendors have varying skill and experience levels, it may then be more challenging to get them all to work like a well-oiled wedding machine!

Photographers always seem to complain that videographers are in their shots and likewise, videographers dislike photographers being in their camera angles as well! In certain unfortunate circumstances, what can happen is, the photographer ends up being caught repeatedly on video and the videographer or his/her equipment happens to get captured somewhere in the background of photos. This gets in the way of what both types of vendors need to accomplish for you on your wedding day.

A few examples on how to circumvent this is, perhaps when the bride walks up the aisle, the videographer and photographer if possible, could stand on opposite sides to ensure that they will not be in each other’s shots. Similarly, when the cake is being cut, the photographer and videographer could be on opposite sides to achieve different angles.

Photographers and videographers also have to share resources, for example, they may have to co-ordinate lighting, electrical outlets and equipment storage as well. They may even have to share table or set-up space where they can rest their equipment

It is critical that your photographer and your videographer are compatible with each other. It is also a huge bonus if they have enjoyed working together on previous weddings – be sure to ask!

Some photographers are not used to having to coordinate with a videographer but a skilled one will know this firsthand!
