Weddings are a huge event full of precious moments shared with the ones who matter most to your relationship and love story. In this rare event where all of the important people in your lives are in the same place at once, where marriers come together to profess their love and commitment to one another, it is worth documenting to re-live forever and ever. Photography is a must-have, of course, for immortalizing moments through still pictures, however, many marriers overlook hiring a videographer to document the day in addition to the photographer. As a wedding and love story videographer myself, I’m going to give you the inside scoop on why you should hire a videographer to document your wedding and celebrate your love story.
Reliving the Day Whenever
When you hire a wedding videographer, (cough cough me? cough) they’re able to capture your wedding for you to watch and re-live over and over. I describe this experience similar to touching one of the glowing orbs from Inside Out. With modern digital technology, you can take your film with you everywhere and watch it whenever you want. A lot of marriers choose to re-watch their film yearly for their anniversary, where-as some choose to watch it multiple times a day. The choice is yours! Re-watching your films to witness all those moments with precious people, your written words of affection, all the way to the crazyyy party will allow you to feel the joy, warmth, and pure happiness within.
Sharing Precious Moments with Loved Ones
Moving into those moments, there are so many things that happen on your wedding day that you’ll want to remember and re-live. Whether its a big moment like a first look with your wedding party or soulmate, the moment you descend down the aisle, or the special first dance you share with your partner, you’ll experience it all again in a wedding film. There’s also plenty of small, candid moments, like a sweet interaction with a grandparent, little pep talk from a close friend, or even you and your partner dancing the night away together, all to be intertwined in your film and remembered for years to come. Amongst all the excitement of the day, things will move so fast that the experience of reliving these moments will become so meaningful.
Having an Emotional Masterpiece Celebrating Your Love
A professional videographer has a ton of experience filming weddings and will know exactly how to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and exist as you naturally are. The skills they have honed throughout these experiences means your wedding film will not be an average video (no, your iphones simply can’t measure up!), but a cinematic experience with beautiful visuals and immersive audio. Personally, I put so much effort into crafting the perfect story, selecting the track that fits the marrier’s personality and vibes of their wedding, and putting my creativity into bringing you the most emotional, meaningful, and hype videos that will have you feeling it happen all over again.
Experiencing the Day Fully Again
Reliving one of the happiest, most emotion-filled, and celebratory moments in your life is a big reason why marriers decide to hire a videographer to capture their wedding day and love story. Some videographers offer a documentary edit, which is essentially a movie from the beginning to the end of your special day. It usually includes the entire ceremony, intros, dances, speeches, or any moment throughout the day in it’s entirety. I offer a Documentary package, which includes a second videographer to ensure every moment is captured to the fullest to be represented in the final films. If you love the home video feel, this package is the perfect fit. You get a movie to watch your wedding day from start to finish, with immersive angles, music, and crisp audio to bring you back.
Capturing and Immortalizing Your Story
Marriers have more to their story together than the wedding day alone. In addition to the documentary style videos, there is another option that can add more of your love to the final films. Within a story session, a videographer can bring out your personalities together outside of the wedding setting. I like to take marriers to places that are significant to them and their love story and capture that. Think of it as a videography engagement session with a more documentary experience-based approach. With this footage intertwined in your wedding film, you’ll be able to not only reminisce on the day itself, but also on the love you share and journey you’ve taken to get to this point.
Not hiring a wedding videographer or not investing enough is one of the top regrets by marriers who are reflecting on what they would do differently at their wedding. When you think about the way your precious memories and connections can be immortalized through wedding films, it makes so much sense. Videography is a unique experience that captured so much more than the moment itself. When you watch your wedding film, I want you to have an out-of-body experience as you re-live the day through the lens of my camera. By investing in a wedding videographer, you are investing in memories that will last a lifetime, sharing the beauty and love of your special day with generations to come.
