ok so long story short, my brother in law and his wife will not be giving us any money as a gift for our wedding and wanted to do something they can pay off over time. So they said they would give us $1500 or rather they will pay up to 1500 for a photo booth. now me and fh weren't going to do a video because of the cost, so should we take the 1500 and do a photo booth or put the money towards a videographer?

need to decide- photo booth vs videographer
Just an FYI, if you do a video package with Gil from Fade to Black he will give you a photobooth for like $500. He is very affordable too!

I had both. The photo booth was fun and everyone had a great time with it. The video is memories for the rest of your lives. Being the bride I missed my mom and bridal party walking down the aisle of the church. We also did not see our parents or bridal party walk into the reception hall. I have not seen my video yet, but these are aspects I know we missed. This is through no fault of our own, just the way wedding go. Go for the video.

We had a conflict between the two as well, since we only had the budget for one. Both FH and I decided that a video of our wedding day definitely trumped photo booth. But that was just our personal preference. We are getting a 15-20 minute video that we will be able to share with friends and family. I was watching my parents wedding video the other day (they have been married for 30 years now) and I started crying. That's when I knew that someday I would want my children to have the option of watching the video of the day their parents got married.

This! If you want candid photos, why not put disposable cameras on the tables? People def get goofy with those!

I recently got my wedding video trailer and I can't stop watching. For me it's like reliving my day. So I would definitely say go for the video because you can always watch it and it will be a memory keepsake. I wanted a photo booth but didn't get it because it was a little out of our budget. They are very fun though.

I would def say video! The photo booth will be fun but the video is something that will last a lifetime! Something you can show your kids besides photos and you get to hear voices and see expressions... Etc.

My FMIL always says that getting the video was the best thing about her wedding. Both her parents have passed away and she said watching the video and getting to hear their voices again is just so special. Pictures are a great memory but a video is so much more- you can hear peoples voices and really relive the day!

I was debating on video, but I'm starting to think it's a must have. I don't want to miss all the little moments I won't get to see as the bride. And the day will fly by, so the video is a way to relive the joy of that day.
