Wedding Videography - Is it worth It??
Wedding budgets are tough. While trying to meet it you have to make tough choices. Priorities are your guide. The wedding video is often considered a luxury - especially with the popularity of photojournalistic wedding photography. I adore photojournalistic wedding photography. I love the pictures, they are truly art to me.
But let me ask you this, if twenty years from now, your house was on fire and you could only grab your wedding pictures or your wedding video, which would you grab? Maybe your video has your father giving the toast and your dear grandmother, who has long since passed, dancing with your new husband and laughing at his jokes.
I am not saying to take videography over photography. Far from it! I'm merely trying to make a point and let you realize the absence of the wedding video. I've heard from many a bride (after a certain number of years, they have to just accept the fact they are old married ladies...), that they watch their wedding video all the time, but never pull out their pictures. Now maybe some of that has to do with the traditional wedding photography. But I really do think that people value the sound and visual of the wedding video and forget that they do.
My suggestion is to make sure you have both photography and videography. Cut down on a less memorable expense or ask your wedding consultant for additional ideas to save money to free up budget for your video. Keep in mind too, that wedding consultants are wedding vendor's repeat customers - we often get the best deals and discounts. (Any reputable consultant passes the savings on to their client - they don't get paid on both ends.)
Happy Planning!
