Why Video?

With all of the costs one needs to budget for in a wedding, videography may seem like a luxurious line item. However, a great wedding video is well worth the investment–here are five reasons why:

1: What Happened?

Most couples are so overwhelmed with all the excitement of the day that they are likely to forget much of what happened. Video not only jogs your memory but records moments you may have missed. Certainly photography is an important part of archiving your day, however video is entirely an different art form and makes a great supplement to photographs when remembering those special moments.

2: Toasts!

With video you can replay those touching and sometimes silly speeches given by your loved ones. A good videographer will also record your reactions to the toasts which is always an extra treat to watch and something only video can capture!

3: Sharing.

It’s a great way to share the highlights of the day with all your friends in less than ten minutes. Most videographers offer the option to make a highlight video or short film set to music. With a variety of free, online hosting services available for your clip, you can easily send a viewing link to all your friends and family.

4: Performances.

Many couples invite family or friends do performances at their wedding, whether it’s singing a song, playing an instrument, or maybe even doing some sweet impromptu break dancing moves on the dance floor. There is no better way to preserve these feats of showmanship than on video.

5: Vows and Readings.

These are all things which can only be recorded on video. Make sure that your videographer has a microphone set up to capture these important audio moments so that you will never forget the important words spoken at your ceremony.
