It’s no secret that weddings can get expensive, so anything that sounds like an extra cost can cause some hesitation. However, when it comes to the most important day of your life, you want to make sure you’ll be able to relive those magical moments forever. Even if you must adjust your budget, it makes sense to invest in something that you can hold onto forever.

Why You Need a Wedding Videographer

If you’re on the fence about whether a professional is right for you, here are some things you’ll benefit from when you hire a wedding videographer:

1. Relive moments that can’t be captured in just a photograph

Photography is great, but it only captures moments in one dimension. Videography allows viewers to use almost all their senses, placing them directly in the moments as they cross the screen. You’ll feel the support of your loved ones as the wave of celebratory applause follows your first kiss, along with the admirable silence during your first dance. You can even revisit how you both looked while reciting your vows, even if it’s just to tease each other in jest over champagne years later. What matters most is that you don’t find yourself regretting that you didn’t have a videographer in the first place.

2. Share moments with your loved ones

For guests who are in attendance, you can share the video as a wedding gift. Not only is it a tribute to your marriage, but it allows your guests to revisit the fun they had during your celebration. People enjoy pointing themselves out on camera and it can even be a fun family activity! For those not in attendance, your wedding video can be a source of inclusion. Not only has the pandemic caused a multitude of health issues for people worldwide, but there are more logistical issues than ever before. Health concerns, travel restrictions, and other factors might lead to a lot of declined invites. For those who are looking to create an even more elevated experience for guests who can’t attend, you can even consider hosting a Livestream.

3. Be Present in the Moment

The most beneficial part of hiring a videographer is knowing that someone is capturing the moments that are most meaningful to you. Instead of being distracted by the thought of “wait is someone getting this?” you can focus on being present, knowing that moment is being captured in high quality. You also don’t need to worry about not liking the video your new mother-in-law took, because you’ll have a professional one as a backup, saving you stress and protecting your loved one’s feelings!
