Do Videographers really make a difference?

I am also on the fence about this. My sisters recommend i get one but i personally don't feel compelled to have one. I much prefer photos, plus i know family will record. I just have heard some brides say they didn't get one and regretted it, so that's my concern. I like the idea of having one just for the ceremony. I would consider that if the cost is right.

I wanted one so so so bad but we just couldn't afford it. We were live streaming the wedding anyways and my uncle is good with tech so we asked him if he would mind making us one. So that's what we did. I will say that if you can afford it, I'd highly recommend one as they capture all the little special sounds and moments outside of pictures.

View Quoted Comment I don’t either. Have someone video the ceremony. Done.

We got one and I'm so glad we did.

We still watch it, we've been able to send clips to our families with moments specific to them, it's great.

If you can't afford a professional, call your local school and see if they have film students looking to get into the business.

View Quoted Comment Oohh that's a good idea, sending them clips, I might do the same. Wondering what you mean by moments specific to them? Did you send clips of them dancing or just of them doing a reading or speech on the day? Or when they are mentioned in a speech?

View Quoted Comment I mean all of those. A former coworker of mine is also a filmmaker, so she captured all of these moments
