Why You Should Book A Wedding Videographer On Your Big Day!

‍

It’s one of the first things a couple does, once engaged, to first sit down and make a list of their priorities as they also decide what they want to spend on their wedding. Videography, for some, does not make the “must-have” list in the same way that a venue or music does. But remember that your wedding film will last forever. In our generation, photography takes the lead for the majority of couples when it comes to priority. As a wedding company, choosing between those is something I find impossible to do. One is a clip that takes you back into that day, as if you were re-living it all over again. One is still moments captured that are ways to show your love for each other.

‍

Weddings can no doubt be very expensive and we all know that every cost, no matter how small, adds up in the end, so this leads many brides, especially those on a budget, to ask whether they really need a wedding video. "Is it really that important?" they ask. We're here to tell you all about the importance of wedding videos and how this one decision should be pretty easy for you (Yes! Get one!). Because, while cost is a factor for some, sure, the real importance of wedding videos come from their ability to let you relive your big day. Unlike photographs, videos give you the voices, the noises, the sounds, the action of one of the most memorable days of your life and keeps it saved forever. But if you haven't quite made up your mind, here are some of the other reasons you need to really consider having a wedding video.

‍

A wedding video will capture all the sentimental moments that photo cannot. A good wedding video can bring back all of the joy and excitement of your wedding day whenever you want to relive it. A well-made wedding video can be passed down to your children and even your grandchildren, allowing them to experience the beauty and raw emotion of your wedding day long after it has passed!

‍

The biggest regret we get from our clients is not getting a video package! Most couples will have family and friends that won't be able to attend that day. This being said, a video is something you can show and re-watch over and over to feel as if you were there in the first place.

‍

Think about Audio...
All the tears, laughs, & vows you share throughout the biggest day of your life can be re-lived and re-watched. The Toasts from your parents and best friends, with every emotion and tone captured into one.

‍

The things you might miss...
Your wedding day is one of the busiest days you'll ever experience. The amount of chaos and tasks that go on behind the doors to make this day seamless is something most people overlook. You might think you have everything planned out and perfect but I assure you, you will miss things! Video is there to capture all the little and big moments you may miss on your day! Think of video like a fly on the wall.

The best piece of advice to hiring a wedding videographer is, do your research!!! - Every Videographer will have their own style and way of creating magic! Make sure you are aligned with your vision and how you want your video to look! Go over ideas and concepts, think about lighting and details, set aside time for certain shots and ideas.

‍

Your wedding video isn’t just a recording...

‍
Long after the flowers dry, the music fades, and the decorations are packed away, your film is the one piece of your wedding you can experience again and again. Imagine being able to sit down on your first anniversary or your fiftieth and watch your younger selves say “I do.” Imagine showing your children exactly what your parents said in their toasts, how your partner looked at you during your first look, or how your guests erupted into laughter during speeches. These moments become priceless with time.

And let’s talk about emotion.
A great wedding filmmaker doesn’t just capture what happened, they capture how it felt. The nerves. The anticipation. The uncontrollable smiles. The deep breaths before walking down the aisle. The shaky voice during vows. These aren’t moments you even notice fully in the moment, because the day moves so fast. Your video slows everything down and lets you appreciate it in a way you simply can’t on the actual day.

There’s also the magic of storytelling.
Videographers craft your day into a story, the buildup, the details, the humor, the romance, turning a single day into a cinematic keepsake. You get to experience those butterflies again in a beautifully edited film that highlights the best parts of your love story. That is something no amount of staged photos can recreate.

And finally, trends come and go... but video is timeless.

‍
Ten years from now, photography styles will evolve. Editing trends will change. But the ability to hear your own voice tremble during vows? Or see your partner’s reaction as you walk toward them? Or watch your grandparents dancing at your reception?
Those things never go out of style.

Choosing a videographer means choosing to preserve the real, raw, unfiltered magic of your wedding not just how it looked, but how it felt.
