Do you even need a wedding videographer?
You aren't the first bride to ask this question! Why do you need a videographer if you already have a photographer? What’s the difference? Well, we’re here to help answer some of those questions! The truth is, there’s only a small difference between photography and videography, so do you need both? Read below to find out!
1. Videos Capture What Photos Can’t
Your marriage vows, toasts, speeches, and music can’t be photographed. You’ll want to watch these incredibly important moments over and over again! By having a videographer at your wedding, you’ll make sure these memories are preserved forever.
2. Movement Is Important
Getting ready, walking down aisle, your first kiss, your first dance, these are all moments that are better remembered through video. A still image of these moments won’t capture the life within these shots. For these moments, video is the way to remember them.
3. Preserving Raw Emotions
Your wedding day will be a very emotional day, not only for you, but for your guests as well. Watching the groom fight back his tears as he sees you for the first time or watching your parents cry tears of joy as they watch you marry the man of their dreams are emotions you’ll want to make sure are preserved.
4. Relive Your Day
Your wedding day only happens once and flies by quickly. Hiring a videographer to film your wedding allows your day to live on forever. Anytime you want to watch your wedding again, its easily accessible.
5. See Moments You Missed
You will be busy on your wedding day, often running from here to there. In all the hustle and bustle, you may not get to see all the decorations, flowers, or moments throughout the day. You’ll thank yourself for having a videographer there to document all the details and moments you may miss.
6. Easily Shareable
With digital delivery, you can share with friends and family instantly. Your wedding day will forever be safe in “the cloud”. No need to worry about your wedding DVD or videotape being damaged like our parents and grandparents. Share your wedding at social gatherings with a simple click of a link.
7. Capture Friends and Family
As hard as it is to think about, your family and friends will not be around forever. Having footage of your loved ones dancing, moving about, or giving speeches is something you will find incredibly precious if that day ever comes.
8. Create a Family Heirloom
Your wedding video will turn into a family heirloom. You’ll share it with your friends, family, and maybe someday, your children. The videos we create today will live on to outlast us. It’s wonderful to think that in 100 years, your wedding video will still be watched by your grandchildren and their children.
9. No Regrets
The #1 regret we hear from brides we talk to is that they did not hire a videographer to document their wedding. The bullet points listed above are what we hear often, but the biggest point is the one below.
10. Your Love is Worth It
You deserve to celebrate your love and finding the one you want to share your life with. We often hear that wedding videography just isn’t in the budget and our response to that is: YOUR LOVE IT WORTH IT! You’ve waited your entire life for this moment, make sure you do it right! At the end of your wedding day, you’ll leave with three things: A husband, your photos, and your wedding video.
