- About UsVideo Visual is an award-winning wedding videography business based just outside Belfast in Comber, Northern Ireland. As a family run business, we have been filming weddings since 1986, and having gained a wealth of experience by covering some of Northern Ireland most prestigious weddings, our enthusiasm remains as strong as it always has been. Not only does this experience allow us to provide a quality and reliable service to our clients, but we can also offer helpful advice on other contributors you might want to use on your wedding day. (Bands, disco’s, cars etc.) The business is now headed by Gary Dugan, who has continually honed his camerawork, editing and sound production skills over a period of two decades. Gary also likes to combine a professional pride with a friendly and approachable nature. Over time we have perfected an unobtrusive filming style; staying mostly in the background while getting all the shots we need. Not only does this mean you can enjoy your day without interference from us, it also means we will have a good working relationship with your wedding photographer. In 1990, Video Visual became one of the founding members of the Professional Video Producers Association of Northern Ireland. This organisation was set-up to help its members improve the standard of wedding videos, and to make the public aware of the benefits of employing a member of a professional body. Video Visual has since won the PVANI Best Wedding Video award in a competition that was judged by JVC United Kingdom.
- Our serviceAll of our weddings are recorded in full High Definition 1920×1080 to provide a crisp, professional quality DVD or Blu-ray. We also offer a two cameraman coverage, one can stay at the church to video your quests arriving, while the other attends the bride’s home to film the bridal preparation. One can record your soloist, while the other cameraman covers the signing of the register. With two cameramen at your wedding we can offer a service that no other videographer on their own could offer. Sound is another very important part of your wedding; we have a large selection of different microphones to call upon, and with a tie clip mic on the groom you vows can be heard loud and clear. (Tie clip mic is only used for the vows, and is removed after the service) For a personal touch, you can also choose your own background music to accompany your finished disc. So whether you’re wedding has 10 guests or 300 guests, each DVD will be creatively edited, and finished with a selection of highlights from your wedding day. If you would like to view some of our work, you need only ring for an appointment. We have a large selecting of wedding DVD’s to view, and after viewing we can hold your date for seven days, this would allow you more time to compare our productions against any other videographer.

- AdviceShould you decide on having your wedding day captured on video, then it’s important that the videographer chosen should be capable of presenting you with a quality production. To help in your choice of videographer , we offer the following advice. Phone as many videographers as you think necessary, and ask if they are available for your date. If available, then ask the following. How many hours will you be working on my wedding day? What is the cost for the hours quoted? Cost of Deposit. Is there any hidden extra’s, such as a travelling charge, adding highlight to the end of your DVD, or using two camera’s. What is the cost per hour if the videographer is asked to stay longer that the time quoted. How many copies are included in the deal, and what is the cost if you require more. How Many years of experience have they? Will they recorded your wedding in High Definition or standard definition. Can they supply two cameramen? And what is the cost. Do they require a meal? Some videographers have it in there contract that a meal or meals must be supplied at your cost. Can you go and meet the videographer in person, and view samples of their work. Can they provisional hold your date for several days, while you look at the work of others? When would they require final payment? Don’t be won over immediately by a flat-fee. Make sure you find out precisely what times the videographer would be working to and from. You would be surprised at some of the ‘optional extras’ that are sometimes added to the price you thought had been agreed. Double-check that anything you assume will be included has been accounted for in the price. And finally, never book someone by judging their online demo alone, short online demos are highly edited, and could be misleading as to what your finished DVD might look like. Our advice is to go and speak to your videographer in person, and if possible, ask them to show you a completed video that was taken at either your church or reception.
