At times, the need for a wedding video is questioned. The excuse for not hiring one is that a professional wedding photographer has already been booked for the wedding. There are a lot of discussions on the Internet about the pros and cons of having a wedding video. However, by not having a wedding videographer, there are lot of things you might miss. Some of the main things you are going to miss are:
Having a professional wedding video
In this day and age of smartphones and hand held video cameras, videos of the wedding are bound to be shot by one or many guests at the wedding. If you do not have a professional videographer for the wedding you are likely going to end up with amateur video clips of the wedding which is not justified for such an important event in the lives of the bride and groom. Therefore, by choosing not to have a professional videographer for your wedding you are choosing between a poor quality amateur wedding video and professional wedding video. Not many brides or grooms would like to have a amateur wedding video as a memory of their wedding.
Keith Malone’s post drives home the reality of a professional wedding video vs a amateur wedding video. He also has a video that drives home the point visually as well. Therefore having a wedding videographer is an investment to ensure a good long term memory of the most important day in the life of the bride and the groom.
Sound of the wedding
One of the advantages of the wedding video is that with the visuals, the sound of the wedding is also captured. You can hear the greetings, laughter, excitement and maybe some tears. Most importantly, the exchanging of vows in a video is something that is cherished for years and by not choosing a wedding videographer, you won’t have those recordings to listen to in the years to come. Having sound with the video transfers the wedding video viewer back to the wedding day which is not possible with photographs.
Reliving the moment
Wedding videos allow anyone to relive the wedding anytime in the future and for years to come. Wedding photos do not capture the essence of the wedding as wedding videos do. It should be said though that video and still photography capture a wedding in distinct ways and cannot compensate for each other.
Seeing couple and guests enjoy the wedding
Imagine not having the option to cherish the moment when everyone was dancing at the wedding later in life. Without a wedding video, it would not be possible to see those moments in the future, or what it felt like and how much fun it was to be at the wedding.
Seeing the moments that have been missed
It is not possible for everyone to be present everywhere during a wedding. For example, most of the guests and the groom would not be able to see the bride getting ready. If a professional wedding videographer is covering the wedding then such instances can be seen by all later. Not only that the bride can herself see the video clip of her getting ready for the wedding! Similarly there are other moments that have been missed can be viewed later if a professional videographer is covering the wedding.
Documenting the wedding in detail
While still photographs do capture some of the moments of the wedding, a wedding video would capture the wedding in detail. Some spontaneous moments that might have been missed by photographers are usually there in the wedding video. Since there is hardly any posing involved for wedding videos, they are natural and closer to what was really happening.
Wedding video are a present for the future generation
Imagine the joy the future generations when they see the wedding video. Would’t you like to see the wedding video of your grandparents? Wedding videos are a way to preserve the memories over the generations.
Get more still photos from the wedding video
With high definition video being the standard it is possible to get photographs from the video grabs of the wedding video specially for moments which might have been missed by the wedding photographer.

Opportunity to see the wedding for those who could not attend
If a wedding video has been made, family and friends who are unable to attend the wedding due to unavoidable circumstances are then able to enjoy it, just as if they had been there.
Share the wedding with the world
With the growth of video sharing websites like YouTube and Vimeo and popular social networks like Facebook allowing its members to share videos for free; wedding video clips can be shared online for everyone’s enjoyment. Sharing the best day of your life gives a unmatched high which everyone should enjoy.
In the end, it can be concluded that having a wedding video has become a necessity these days especially given all the advantages. Check out the packages we have to offer at Tower Video Photo to suit every pocket.
