The difference between a professional video and one taken by your favourite uncle is as profound as the difference between professional and amatuer photography.
Most video cameras under $2,000 are extremely limited with their built in stabilizers. A small video camera will also show the shake in the operators arm. Lens quality is radically different even in high end video cameras. Most smaller or domestic video cameras do not offer a high contrast in colour when compared to their professional counterparts. The colour, clarity, and sharpness will be radically different. Professional tripods usually have built in oil filters to allow for smooth movement. No rough jerkiness. Having a videographer means that none of your guests have to work all day, and you don't risk having any random nose dives to the floor. Why do some videographers use lapel microphones? A lapel microphone ensures professional audio. In professional film production (movies) the sound is recorded seperately on high quality sound recording equipment, whilst the video does not record audio. Whilst the lapel microphones are hooked to the cameras and recorded on the same media as the video, the lapel mic makes sure the sound is clear. On board camera sound will not be as focused and even when the operator is rather close to the subjects the audio will sound a fair distance away. Lapel microphones mean that even at 20m or more away from you, or from a church balcony, we can still hear you crystal clear. What is the Apra/Amcos licence some of the providers have mentioned? In film production any pre recorded audio that we do not own is copyright protected. If you have music at your ceremony or reception you can be assured this is copyright protected. To film anything at all that has even a hint of commercial music in the background is illegal under Australian and international copyright laws as it is an unauthorised recording or duplication of the audio. For this reason there is an Apra licence that wedding videographers need to have to a) be able to record your wedding, and b) to create synchronizations. A synchronization is when you add video to any copyright protected music. Hiring a professional ensures that all of the legal complications are taken care of.
