Wedding Day Video? Why You Should Have One

I help a lot of newly engaged couples with budget woes when they begin to plan their wedding.  They all tell me that they don’t want a videographer.  They just don’t see the need to spend additional when they love their photographer. They are worried that Video will cost too much, get in the way, and then they all think they will never watch it.

In my opinion video is a must. A talented filmmaker will capture your event in a different way then your photographer.  Video offers you live interactive moments. Your family and friends will come to life.  Your speeches and the way they are presented to you, at your wedding will be captured forever.  The emotions your guest feel will be there for you to experience over and over again. But, the most important thing that I tell guests is this:  when I got married we couldn’t afford to hire a videographer.  My husband had a friend (lol) who was in the business who said he would shoot for us at our wedding. Hah!  He never showed up. (another reason to hire a professional)  A few short years later my father passed away.  Sure, I have the pictures, but I don’t have him or the way he spoke, laughed or danced. It would mean so much for me to show my children who their Grandfather was with more than just a picture.  So when deciding on where to put your money on this important day, just remember that video brings people to life and when they are no longer with you will you regret your decision.
