One of the best ways to capture the memories of this special day is by hiring a videographer. A videographer can help to create a beautiful and timeless record of your wedding day that you can look back on for years to come. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the top reasons why people should hire a videographer for their wedding.

10 Reasons You Should Hire a Videographer for your wedding

Captured Memories:

Capturing memories are the number one reason why you need a videographer for your special day. I know this sounds cliche but it is so true! Who wouldn’t want to be able to have a professionally captured film that lasts for generations? This is a product you can look back on time and time again no matter what age you are! 

Wedding Days are FAST:

Believe me when I tell you wedding days fly by! Wedding days are like vapor. One moment it is prep time, maybe a first look or letter reading, ceremony, cocktail hour, the reception party and before you know it, it is over. At that point you have the memories that you experienced but nothing to look back on. Having a videographer allows you to relive these memories in a real time form. Which leads me to the next point.

Motion:

Although I love my photographers and often work with some great wedding photographers, our jobs are different. A wedding photographer's main job is capturing moments in time which I believe is very important and necessary. However when you hire a videographer you get access to motion at different angles, movements, and sounds that a still image cannot which enables you to relive this special day. A videographer can also capture the emotions and reactions of both the couple and the guests, providing a more complete picture of the day. Not only do you get motion but a story with audio.

Audio:

Audio is one of the most important aspects of a wedding film. Let’s be real though... Many people don’t get this! Audio is always the driving force behind any film or movie. Audio is half of what makes up a film. Half video, half audio. This is what immerses people into the final product. In a wedding film videographers are able to capture audio such as the couples vows, the couples personal letters, any speeches, (from the maid of honor, best man, and parents) and any other audio from the day that would suit the final video.

Raw Footage:

Having raw footage in whatever package you buy is a must! Most times we see raw footage being an addition to the final cost however don’t cut corners here. What is so important about raw footage you may ask? Raw footage allows you to see the unedited versions of the video clips that the videographer takes. It allows the client to view each clip in its rawest form. Each clip won't be flashy or always look great but that is okay. That is not the point of raw footage. That is the purpose of the final film.

Professionalism and expertise:

A wedding videographer has the experience and equipment to capture high-quality footage that looks and sounds great. All while being professional, kind, and making sure the couple feels comfortable. They also have the expertise to edit the footage into a polished and professional looking video. 

Family and friends:

A wedding video allows family and friends who were not able to attend the wedding to still feel like they were a part of it. The great thing about social media is that with a click of a few buttons this wonderful masterpiece can be shared with those who missed out. This will allow them to feel a part of your day. It can also be a wonderful way to share the memories with those who were in attendance.

Creativity and Style:

A wedding videographer can bring a creative vision to the video that will make it stand out. Many times when you are looking for a videographer you will notice that each one's style is different. They can add special effects, use different camera angles, and create different stories that will capture the essence of the day. Pick the style that best fits you and your significant other. It’s all about the vibe!

Peace of Mind:

When looking to hire a professional videographer, peace of mind is crucial. This means trusting your videographer with their craft to deliver on what they promise you. This is why checking their website to see the work they do as well as their personality is a must before hiring. Working with someone who knows what they are doing is important. Hiring a professional will ultimately allow you to not rely on grainy iphone videos but be at ease, knowing the final outcome will turn out great!

Telling your story:

A videographer can tell a story in a way that photographs alone cannot. They can capture the anticipation and excitement of getting ready, the emotions of the ceremony, and the joy of the reception. A well-crafted wedding film can weave these moments together to tell the story of your special day in a way that captures the heart and soul of your wedding. Your wedding day is not just a series of moments, but a story.

To sum it up, hiring a videographer for your wedding is a worthwhile investment in capturing the memories of your most special day. With a high-quality film, the ability to share your memories with loved ones, and the freedom to focus on your wedding day without worrying, and a product to look back on for years to come, a professional videographer can help make your wedding day unforgettable.
