All the bad shots, which are unavoidable at a wedding (e.g. people walking in shot and staying there, etc.) are removed and live music/background sound is cross-faded to avoid harsh sound track jump cuts.

Choose your videographer with care: The video will last a lifetime! Look at
examples of the company's work and ensure that the detail is captured -- flowers, close-ups of faces, hair style and decorations, stain glass windows, rings, detail on the wedding dress and wedding cake, etc.  Ask for references.
