3 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Videographer Film Your Wedding
When couples plan their wedding, they question having a videographer capture the day. Most will hire a photographer, but roughly half will hire a videographer. Unfortunately, a significant portion regret not having a videographer document their day. Wherever you are in your wedding planning journey, here are three reasons to document your wedding with a videographer.
You can hear your loved ones’ voices
The first aspect of video that is distinguishable from photos is the sound. A wedding videographer captures audio as they record. As the couple advances in years, they can appreciate their own youthful voices reciting their vows. Additionally, the cadence and tone of the speech givers are forever captured. This encapsulates the emotion and joy of the speaker, preserving the original feelings from the wedding day. The couple can rewatch these moments over the years with an ever growing worldview and while those moments still feel anew each time.
“As a couple watches their film and reflects on their wedding day, they can appreciate the way they were and their guests were on the wedding day. The candid joy and emotions are refreshing yet nostalgic to watch on each anniversary.”
2. Seeing candid emotions highlights personalities
I consider my wedding videography to be a documentary style that emphasizes the candid moments and shows them for how they unfolded. I capture what’s happening behind the scenes and stitch these heartwarming moments into the wedding film. This has the effect of showing the personalities of the couples and the guests who are present. As a couple watches their film and reflects on their wedding day, they can appreciate the way they were and their guests were on the wedding day. The candid joy and emotions are refreshing yet nostalgic to watch on each anniversary.
3. A wedding film is a family heirloom
Like wedding photos are passed from one family member to another, a wedding film can be shared and enjoyed for generations to come. When your children or grandchildren ask about your wedding, a wedding film is a great way to share with them the story of your relationship and show them the candid joy from the day. You can relive with your children and grandchildren the most heartfelt moments from your wedding day. They can see firsthand, what the day was like and how your family started.
These are just a few reasons to have a wedding videographer document your wedding day. I hope that these points have helped you come to a better understanding of the role of wedding videography and why hiring a videographer is a worthy and important investment. Best wishes for you as you progress through your wedding planning process.
