If you like to capture special moments on video and have a good eye and steady hand for composing a shot, then you could easily become a wedding videographer and start your own home wedding video business.

With video camera technology improving considerably every year, wedding videos are becoming much more popular due to the high quality results they produce. Brides and grooms are realizing that photography is just not enough to capture every special moment from their wedding day. With your part-time wedding video business, you can offer them an edited and personal video that captures every moment from the vows and cake cutting to the first dance and the final goodbyes.

Skills Required: Fluency in operating a video camera controls, smooth video capture, computer video editing knowledge, sales skills.

A home wedding video business does require some important technical skills. You cannot simply press the red button to record. You must be knowledgeable about video camcorders and know how to operate them for greatest efficiency.

You must know about focus control, exposure, white balance adjustment, aperture control, frame rate, sound input, and more. The best way to become familiar with these controls is simply to practice using them until you are fluent in getting a great exposed shot in any light condition. You could also take a video camera class from your local community college.

As well, you should also practice shooting a video camera to get a great composition and to prevent shaky shots. Handheld wedding video shooting can work, but they are generally too shaky and should only be used to capture action shots. Use a tripod or monopod as much as you can for the entire ceremony and reception.
