Congratulations on your engagement! And wedding planning, after all that's probably why you've stumble on my blog. So here's some thoughts about why I think you should be investing in a videographer as you plan your big day.

A wedding day is one of the most precious moments in a couple's life that they would want to cherish forever. Investing in a professional wedding videographer to capture the special moments in a timeless movie is worth every penny. 

Here are some compelling reasons why it makes sense to spend on an expert to record beautiful memories.

Captures More Detail Than Photos

While photographs can freeze particular moments, videos can capture a lot more action, emotions, and finer aspects. 

A talented videographer, along with multiple cameras, can document the overall ambiance, reactions of the couple and the guests, and little moments that make the event truly special. For instance, they can show nervous excitement during the ceremony or the couple's first dance in its entirety.

I also personally try to capture a lot of the things you won't notice, this helps me weave a true story of your big day - children playing, the family dog stealing a sausage or your bridesmaids dancing in the garden.

Professional Expertise Delivers Better Output

A dedicated wedding videographer brings skill, experience, and expertise to deliver a top-quality film that does justice to capture your special day in the best possible manner. Their understanding of appropriate angles, lighting, and moments to focus on based on years in the field ensures your wedding video turns out to be impressive.

From using high-tech equipment and backups to editing the footage collected judiciously, professionals ensure you receive a well-packaged video. It is crafted artistically with the right music and pace to evoke maximum emotional impact.

Flexible Packages to Suit Needs

Reputed videographers offer customisable packages to meet your budget and needs. You can choose add-ons like additional cameras, drone shots, same-day edit options, cinematic reels, guest interviews, etc. based on what you want to prioritise for those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Their role is to deliver a top-notch filming experience on your wedding day by understanding your expectations.

For me, keeping things simple is key. I offer 4 packages and these all clearly show what is included in each one along with the pricing. However, all of my packages include the full ceremony and speeches as standard - for me I think this is such an important part of your day I can't imagine not filming these, and they are included in the family edit of your film.

Peace of Mind on the Wedding Day

Knowing that a talented professional is handling the videography allows you to relax and enjoy the celebrations on your big day without worrying about organizing the video shoot. You can focus on the fun moments with your dear ones instead of fretting about capturing pictures and videos.

The videographer takes charge of blending discreetly without obstructing the events or guests. You can count on their experience to be at the right spots to document important happenings without interrupting them.

Their experience also extends to more than just the filming, they will be used to the flow of the day, how a wedding generally runs and will know how to work with your photographer and other suppliers in order to get the best shots. They may also have a relationship with your venue if they have shot their before, knowing exactly where to get the best shots and where the most perfect lighting is.

Worthy Investment for a Lifetime

Considering the enormity of the wedding occasion and the precious memories linked to it, the video is well worth investing in. In fact, once the celebrations are over, the wedding movie becomes the fount of recollecting the special moments and sharing them proudly with kids and grandkids.

It is a prized family heirloom to cherish for posterity. The money spent gets justified manifold when seen in that context compared to splurging on trivial items.

After all, your love story deserves to live3 on.
