Wedding Video or Photos?
If a photograph is worth a thousand words, just imagine how many a video is worth. Videography tells a story in a way that photographs cannot – the changing expressions and fluidity of the moments capture those perfect memories as closely as possible to the real event. As such, it’s becoming more and more popular for wedding couples to hire a videographer as well as a photographer to record their special day.
Experts recommend booking your photographer and videographer 9-12 months before the big day, so be sure to start your research early. If you still need convincing, read on to discover three reasons why your wedding video is just as important as your photos.
The power of film
The video uses both visual and audio to tell a story, which captivates us and evokes a deeper range of emotions than visual images alone. Your wedding video will allow you to relive the sounds of your venue, from the gentle running water of a river or fountain to the birds singing sweetly in the background. Hearing your wedding vows again and listening to the heartfelt comments from your loved ones truly elevates your wedding album. Whilst a classic photo album is always going to be a treasured memento of your day, having a wedding video will take you right back there on a deeper level.
See the moments you missed
When you’re busy being the centre of attention, it’s impossible to see and hear all of the little details from your wedding day. Your videographer and photographer will work as a team to ensure you have full coverage of all the little bits you and your partner miss. Both are talented at capturing sweet moments between your friends and family that happened when you were preoccupied, but whilst a photo can offer a snapshot of these conversations, speeches and happy memories, having them on film allows you to feel as if you were there. Recording your speeches also allows you to look back on the heartfelt messages given to you by your nearest and dearest on your special day.
A beautiful heirloom
Having a wedding video is a beautiful way to share your precious memories with your children, grandchildren or future friends and relatives. And for those who were unable to attend your wedding, sharing a short video of the highlights of the day can help them feel included. Be sure to ask for a backup copy and store it on an online server, so that it won’t be lost should your computer or phone go missing or break.
An option well worth considering.
If you’re looking to make the most of your wedding day, hiring both a photographer and a videographer is the perfect solution to ensure your memories are secured for years to come. With their modern technology, videographers aren’t intrusive at all – most of their tech looks the same as a camera. And with their professional and friendly dispositions, your guests are sure to welcome their presence and record some funny, loving and heartwarming moments for you and your partner to look back on.
