When it comes to planning the wedding of your dreams, you’re often trying to fit everything you want within your budget. From floral and décor, to venue and catering, there are so many vendors you need to consider when working out your budget.
When dealing with a tight budget, a videographer is often one of the first vendors that gets removed from the list. As with any major life event, videos capture the moments that photos just can’t. It’s said that pictures are worth a thousand words, so videos are definitely worth more. From candid moments to the sentimentality of it all, here are a few reasons why you should budget for and hire a videographer.
See Moments You Might Have Missed
Your wedding day is going to go by a snap of a finger, just ask any married couple you know, and they will say “it went by in the blink of an eye.” In between getting ready with your bridal party, and partying it up on the dance floor, it is impossible for you to see every memorable moment. That is where hiring a videographer comes in handy.
Your videographer will be able to capture all the moments you’re not able to soak up during your big day–think your guests’ reactions during the ceremony, adorable moments from the wedding party, emotional tears during speeches, hilarious dance moves, and so many more. When you hire a videographer, you can almost guarantee that moments you might have missed will be captured on video for you to rewatch for years to come.
1.Share Your Day
Hiring a wedding videographer will let you relive your special day as many times as you’d like. But it’s also a great way to share your day with family and friends who couldn’t attend or those who might have had to leave early.
2. You Can Re-Watch Your Vows
If you plan on writing your own vows, then you definitely want a videographer to capture you sharing your declaration of love in a cinematically beautiful way. By having your vows captured, you can also start a new tradition where you rewatch your vows every year on your anniversary.
3. Video Captures Visual and Audio
There will be various moments you’ll not only want to re-watch but also listen to again, such as speeches, toasts, and your guest’s well wishes. Having audio will turn your video into a sentimental family heirloom that all in attendance will hold close.
4. Camera Shy Couples Don’t Need to Pose
If you’re uncomfortable in front of the camera and worry about not looking natural, you should prioritize hiring a videographer. With your wedding video, there’s no need to stress about posing.
