The early days of professional wedding videography were marked by primitive technology and technique, with the equipment generally producing low image quality.
The cameras were bulky, with a separate unit that connected to the video recorder via a cable, severely limiting the videographer's movement.
Towards the mid-1990s, the manufacturers introduced digital cameras, removing the last of the technological barriers that had impeded wedding videography since it was established.
Post-production creativity took a major leap forward with the introduction of advanced tools like the Newtek Video Toaster in the early 1990s.
This led to the introduction of other relatively inexpensive non-linear editing systems (NLE), which offered the editor many more creative options.
