When planning a wedding, photography is often one of the first vendors couples book, for good reason! Timeless photos of your dress, your décor, and your first kiss are priceless. But there’s another element that often gets overlooked, yet holds just as much value… you guessed it; your wedding video!
As a wedding videographer, I’ve heard it all: “We’re not sure we need video,” or “We’re on the fence.” But here’s the thing, your wedding video captures what photos can’t. Let’s break it down.
Wedding Videos Capture Sound and Emotion You Can Feel
A photo can show the tears in your eyes during your vows, but only a video lets you hear your voice tremble or the laugh you share during a quiet moment. From your vows to your best man’s speech to the cheers of your loved ones as you walk down the aisle, video captures the full emotional range of your wedding day in a way photos simply can’t.
Relive Your Wedding Day Exactly As It Happened
Your wedding day will fly by in a blur. A professionally filmed wedding video allows you to relive every meaningful moment in real time; your walk down the aisle, your first dance, and the once-in-a-lifetime looks exchanged between you and your partner. With video, you’re not just remembering how it looked; you’re experiencing how it felt.
Wedding Videography Captures Moments You Didn’t See
While you’re off taking photos or greeting guests, so many small, beautiful moments are unfolding. Your grandmother’s smile, the flower girl dancing, friends laughing during cocktail hour, it’s so fun to go back and watch this weeks or years after it happened. A wedding videographer is there to catch the candid scenes you might otherwise miss, so you can enjoy them forever.
Video Preserves Voices and Movements Forever
Photographs freeze a moment in time, but video preserves the living energy of it. The way your partner looks at you, the way your dad hugs you tightly, the sound of your maid of honor choking up during her toast. These are things that change over time. Your wedding film becomes a moving time capsule of your loved ones as they are in that moment.
Wedding Films Are Perfect for Sharing with Loved Ones
Unfortunately, not everyone can attend your big day. If you have family and friends scattered across the country or overseas a video is a way for them to be involved. A beautifully edited wedding video is a heartfelt way to share your ceremony, speeches, and highlights with loved ones who couldn’t be there in person.
