6 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Wedding Videographer.

One.

The most important, and also the number one thing brides regret, not hiring a wedding videographer. I remember once getting up at 5 am to get ready for a wedding that I was filming that day, a bride phones me in tears saying that she had just woken up on the morning of her wedding and suddenly regretted not hiring a wedding videographer, begging me to film her day or help find someone that could.

From my experience filming weddings and even from my own wedding day, the day is such an intense and emotional experience and it just becomes a blur the very next day! The day seems to just go by in an instant and before you know it you're thinking where did the time go?

Believe me, once the day is over you will be so pleased that you had booked a wedding videographer and have a video to look forward to.

Two.

Wedding Photographs are truly amazing for capturing a moment frozen in time and hanging on the wall. However, there is nothing like a wedding film to truly bring back all those memories, using sound and visuals which otherwise would have faded into memories. With a wedding video you can feel all of those emotions you felt on your wedding day, and relive them over and over again.

Three.

The most popular reason for a wedding videographer being hired is for family and friends that couldn’t attend the wedding day. Sometimes it’s really hard to get everyone to your wedding, especially the current pandemic restrictions which restrict the number of guests. Your wedding video will be able to be watched all around the world in high definition.

This is something every professional wedding videographer has heard more than once. The problem is weddings are live events and they are very stressful and fast moving. Miss the moment, it cannot be captured again. This is why you hire a professional wedding videographer that has captured multiple weddings and knows when key moments are about to happen, and more importantly how to proactively avoid issues that will occur on the day.

Hiring a professional wedding videographer isn’t just about their experience with weddings, you are hiring them for their creative eye. Anyone can pick up a camera and point it at a subject, but a professional cinematic wedding videographer will use natural light and a great composition to capture your day.

Five.

Most couples that think of having a wedding videographer will think of a person following them around with a large camera on their shoulder and treating the day like a Hollywood movie.

The truth is most professional cinematic wedding videographers today will use very small dicreet cameras, and in most cases you wouldn’t even realise they were taking video and would instead think they were taking photographs.

When selecting your wedding videographer it’s important to ensure that your videographers style of filming matches what you are looking for, in most cases you want a wedding videographer that will blend in on the day and go with the flow. When you hear your wedding guests saying after the wedding “wow, I didn't even know you had this filmed” you know you selected the right wedding videographer.

Six.

Play it safe, have no regrets!

Do your homework and ensure you select a wedding videographer that you love, this doesn’t just mean their style of work.

If you select a wedding videographer that you know you can work with and also love their work then you are onto a winner.

If your personality is not posing or acting for the camera then make sure you select a wedding videographer that just captures natural shots as they happen.

If you get all this right, in years to come after your wedding day has passed you will be so pleased that you had the most important day of your life captured professionally.
