Video question
I am a regular poster but didn't want to use my account b/c people here know who I used as a videographer and this isn't a bad review just wanted to know if it is normal or not.
Anyway, A few weeks ago I got my edited video and it was great. I loved it. I was a little surprised b/c we had no say in the editing including the music used and I had epected to be able to choose the music. it is about 90 min. long. What they picked is wonderful though. I also ordered an unedited video which I picked up yesterday. Here's my concern. Alot of things are missing from it. Things I feel were important. The video is less than 2 hours long and ~1/2 hour of it is the ceremony. We had the video guy for 8 1/2 hours including a 4 hour reception and paid over $2,000 for less than 2 hours of video. I understand that during the reception they eat but shouldn't that have been when everyone was eating to limit the number of things missed?
What they didn't put on the unedited video-
1) Bride(me) dancing with my grandfather
2) Me dancing with my brother(groomsman)
3) Groom dancing with my mom
4) Maid of honor dancing with ring bearer.
5) It had NONE of the guests arriving at the church. We had a small bridal party so the ringbearer was assisting with guest arrival which would have been nice to see since I was not there.
****6) they cut out 1/2 of the MOH's toast.
Is this normal for an unedited wedding video? I don't want to complain if it is but it seems very unusual and like I paid alot of money for this guy to relax and party at my reception instead of work it. 1 hour of video of the cocktail hour and 4 hour reception does not seem right to me. Thanks for your help.
