If you own a decent camera, chances are someone has asked you to record their wedding. Well when they ask me, I tell'em no because I don't want or need the stress involved. If you laugh at that statement, you've obviously never dealt with a bride (or the brides mother) on her wedding day. But there are videographers out there doing it everyday, and producing some awesome stuff. But I guess it got boring for them because a while back they started this "same day edit" thing. Yep, shoot everything and provide an edit for everyone to watch at the end of the reception. PLUS, provide copies on DVD for the bride and groom to take with them when they leave for their honeymoon. I had to eat a Tums just typing that. If you want to know what it's like, spend a day with Frogman Productions.Spend a day with a wedding videographer

1. I spent a Summer being a second camera for an event videographer. It wasn't that bad of a time. You get to shoot, you get fed, and you get paid. Fact is wedding and event videography is where all the money is at because there is so much business. Even if it isn't the most glamorous.
