There has been a pretty significant debate when it comes to still images and video/cinematography for weddings. I will say that I do believe that both compliment each other and help to tell a story in two different ways. It’s no secret that I love technology and some of the things that these companies do to create these incredible camera’s still leaves me speechless at times.
So I found myself wondering what I could do to visually tell the same story with video that I do with my photographs. On my last trip to Mexico to cover a wedding, I decided to put it to the test. This wedding was photographed at the beautiful Banyan Tree Mayakoba resort in Playa del Carmen Mexico. Here is a highlight video which tells the story of the day and how it unfolded. The couple had no idea, we were capturing video.
What makes these videos so special is that they are raw. Nothing is pre-arranged or discussed. Actually, the client has to trust the creative process which involves no direction from them when it comes to the capturing and editing process. Has Clark Bailey transitioned into cinematography? That’s a good question and I guess it depends on how you look at it. In the true sense of cinematography, I would say no. This service is tailored to a specific client. I would even say it fills the gap between photography and full blown video cinematography. It’s captures the moments for those that couldn’t be there and helps those who were there to re-live the experience. It makes the perfect add on companion to a client wedding collection.
