There are more similarities between photography and videography than what is first understood. In fact, early movies were called moving pictures and the basic concept of motion pictures and videos has not changed much even in the transformation from film to digital. The basics of exposure and composition are easily translated between photography and videography. My journey through film photography has informed my work as a wedding videographer to help me instinctively set exposure, focus on composition, and emphasize the finer details, which all contribute to my cinematic wedding videography style.

Any guest invited to a wedding focuses on their attire. No one will question the importance of dressing the part, in fact, people would often consider casual dress at a wedding out of place. When couples hire me to film their Catholic wedding, I am invited as a guest, too. Because I am invited as a guest, because I film in a church, and because of the nature of the work I do, I find it is most appropriate to dress up and wear a bow tie to the weddings I film.
