It might surprise you to learn that audio is SO important to videos. If it were to be measured most professionals would say audio is between 70-90% of what makes a video. Don’t believe me, try watching a little bit of TV first with your eyes closed, and second with the TV on mute. Your experience will be so much better with only audio than pictures. It’s an important part of the day and you want to be sure that you’ll be able to hear everything happening.

Tip: Ask your video vendor, what microphones they use for the big day. Here's some of the key responses to look for.

Red Flags

🚩Microphones built into cameras

🚩Only Microphones on Camera

🚩They Don’t.

Good Signs 🟢

  • Laviller (LAV) microphones. (These are the little body kits that clip to a piece of clothing)

  • Recording the DJ/PA system to a recording device
