While it isn’t for everyone, having a videographer document your wedding can be a great decision. It is easy to choose a videographer for your wedding, but it can be difficult to decide whether you want to spend the money to hire one. We offer expert advice and tips to help you answer the question: Should we hire a Derry wedding videographer for our wedding?
What would videography add to my wedding?
Ask any bride to tell you what they remember about their special day. She will likely say that it went so quickly that she can only recall a few details.
You may not see certain things on the big day, such as the arrivals of the groom and bridesmaids. Or maybe you are just curious about how your entrance looked from the perspective of everyone else.
Wedding videographers will capture the most memorable moments of your wedding and either burn them to DVD or save them as a file so you can keep them forever.
A professionally produced wedding film, although not necessary, is the best way to capture the essence of your special day. It is a treasure trove of memories that you can share with loved ones, grandchildren, and even strangers for many years.
Aren’t photos enough?
Photographs are an important part of the wedding. These priceless photos will be admired, hung in frames and albums you’ll love to look at over and over again.
A picture that captures spontaneity is something special. This is the case with a first-look wedding photo. No one can predict the reactions of the bride and groom until they see each other at the ceremony. (Or before, if you choose to do a photo shoot).
It’s a magical moment to see the couple first glance on their wedding day. But imagine if that moment was also captured on film. Who wouldn’t love to relive that moment in all its glory?
If you feel that photographs will suffice to help you remember the day, that’s fine. But if you want all the details captured and the words spoken to you, then a wedding videographer is the best choice.
What if I can’t afford a photographer and a videographer?
The tricky part is fitting everything within your wedding budget. You may have decided that you want a videographer for your wedding, but the question is how much you can afford.
It is essential to invest in at least one of these two professionals, either a videographer or photographer. You may regret not having either. If you are forced to choose one, consider whether high quality photos or professional film would be better for you.
You can also have both videography AND photography, even if only one professional is available. You could ask your guests to bring their digital cameras to your wedding if you have hired a videographer.
You can ask your family or friends to help you film the wedding day. A friend or family member with editing experience is a great bonus so they can edit the video after it’s finished.
