When you’re planning a wedding, you’ve got a lot of choices; the cake, the dress, the shoes, the venue, the food, the guests. The list goes on and on…with all the choices you’ve got coming up, choosing to hire a cinematographer should be an automatic “YES!” Read on to find out why.
See Moments You Wouldn’t See Otherwise
A bride will never know what her groom and groomsmen were doing the morning of their big day. A groom will never be able to see his bride getting ready with her bridesmaids. The same goes for your family and friends, whether they are able to attend your big day or not, there are moments that they’ll miss, but through video you can experience all of those moments together again.
Relive Your Day Through “Moving” Pictures
Relive the emotions you felt when seeing your bride/groom for the first time, watch your first dance, and relive the precious moments you had with your grandparents. A picture can only take our memories so far. With video, you’ll be able to see the way your groom tried to hold in his tears as you walked down the aisle or see how much fun your guests had as they danced the night away.
Sounds Bring Back Memories
Listen to your wedding vows, your mom and dad’s speeches, your best friends’ toasts, and special prayers. These are all truly special moments that are not able to be captured through pictures alone. Audio allows you to relive every emotion.
Priceless Keepsake
Imagine showing your kids, grandkids, and great grandkids your wedding film…what a great legacy to share. The same goes for sharing your film with family and friends that live across the country, even if they weren’t able to attend your wedding, a film makes them feel as if they were there. It truly is a priceless investment. You will never wear your dress again, eat the same cake, wear the same shoes, or walk down the aisle, but you will always be able to watch your wedding film and relieve the best day of your life.
Regret
The one thing we hear all the time from brides is, “My biggest regret was not having a wedding film.” We interviewed some brides to see why they regretted not having a cinematographer at their wedding and here is what they had to say:
“I wish we had a wedding video to show our kids someday, photos can only capture so much of the moment”- Ashley J, Orlando
“I completely regret not having a cinematographer. There is so much of my wedding that I missed from the excitement of the day and it would be so nice to be able to go back and watch it.” – Heather B, Lakeland
“It’s so hard to try and describe our wedding through photos, video really tells a story and I wish we had that from our wedding.” – Kandie D, New York
