Your wedding is a huge life milestone, and one that will never come around again. As such, it is imperative that you make the absolute most of the occasion, both on the day itself and in the lifetime that comes after it. One way to ensure this is by hiring a wedding videographer to capture the big day in all its glory so that you can relive it time and time again once the celebrations are all over.
Whilst it is another expense, booking a wedding videographer is worth it! As something that will go on to become a treasured family heirloom in the years ahead, setting aside space in your budget for video on the big day will plant so many seeds of joy that you’ll wonder why you ever questioned the need for one when they blossom down the line.
However, if you still need persuading, here are five reasons why you need to invest in a wedding videographer:
Capture all the things that your photographer can’t
Photographers have had a place at weddings for a long time, and deservedly so. They do great work to capture all of the special moments that unfold throughout the day. But that’s exactly what they are – moments. They don’t tell the whole story, whereas video does.
Your wedding videographer will capture all of the movement and sound that still photos will miss, such as the best man getting heckled by his newborn baby daughter during his speech, or that auntie whose laugh lets you know it’s her without even needing to see her. Try as they might, that is the good stuff that photography just cannot cover, but video can, and will.
Relive the whole day, and all the emotions that come with it
By the time it reaches you, your wedding video will essentially be its own little feature film. Set to music that recreates the atmosphere of the gathering and all the people there, it really will tell the story of the day. Depending on the package you pick, you will also be able to relive large parts of the ceremony and speeches, meaning you get to experience again parts that flew by a little too quickly the first time around.
A wedding videographer will catch all the bits you miss
Your wedding day is all about you. As such, it is likely that you’ll be pulled in every direction, meeting and greeting guests, sneaking off for little romantic photoshoots and just taking moments to enjoy the day by yourselves. Of course this, plus the sheer scale of the day and how quickly it passes, means that you are bound to miss some things. Video won’t.
Most wedding videos are shot in a documentary style that captures so many things you didn’t see yourself on the big day, or that passed in such a blur your forgot about them. Having them to revisit afterwards, means you don’t miss out entirely, and may even get a few surprises thrown in for good measure.
Share your wedding day with those who couldn’t make it
It is inevitable that not everyone who you’d like to be a part of your wedding day will be able to be there. Whatever the reason, booking a wedding videographer to film the proceedings mean that they don’t have to miss out entirely.
Many wedding videographers use platforms such as Vimeo to deliver your video to you, meaning it is as easy as sending a link to the group chat to let people feel like they had front row seats all along.
Watch it on repeat
As has already been mentioned a few times throughout this post, hiring a wedding videographer will give you the opportunity to relive your big day over and over again. Whilst it might not completely replace your streaming subscriptions, it will give you a special way to celebrate anniversaries, or revisit the occasion with your wedding party. What better way to commemorate the occasion than with sharing the memories with loved ones all over again?
