I keep having this dilemma with having avideographer or not having one. I feel that I do not need one because realistly how many times do you watch it. How many of you are having one and how many are not. Many of my married friends say they never watch them and that I will not regret it. What do you think.

I mean I watched someone's video and you saw who was dancing with who--who was more drunk then the next person and I feel like it puts some guest on the spot or makes them feel uncomfortable if they don't like the camera--I just hated being in front of the camera with a microphone being shoved in my face...It wish the happy couple wishes.....
Actually not all wedding videos are the same. I picked a videographer who shoots his videos more like movies so it's not with the camera shoved in people's faces. Most people who have used him say they didn't even notice him or hardly knew he was there. I saw part of my friend's wedding video and I was actually at the wedding, there was so much I didn't even notice and I loved it so much I knew I had to get a similar type of videographer for our wedding.
Do it!!
Definitely get the video. Even if you don't think you'll be watching it a lot, just think about the day when you'll be able to show your kids. My parents got married in 1979 and didn't have a professional video, but they had a family friend take some footage with an ancient video camera. Most of the footage is barely visable because the quality is so poor, but the few scenes that come up clear are beautiful. I always get emotional when i see that video and how young and in love my parents were. It's true that pictures speak 1000 words but I don't think anything will make you relive the meories of your day more than a video. HTH
I say have it! I can't see regret spending money on that. you don't want to regret not doing it, since you'll never have that day again! IMO
I am going to bring my own video camera and share it w/ everyone to video things
At first I did not want one, but then FH and I where talking and there are some guests that live out of the country that cant make it to the wedding.. so I was like okay... that would be nice to send them a video. Then we met with Duet and saw their video and I changed my mind in the spot! So yes, we are having a videographer now and I am very happy that I changed my mind.
I can say I am having the same problem. Cant decide...but everyone I know that didnt have one regrets it!
I say you should do. I'm doing it for the memories and hopefully one day would love to show my kids 'mommy and 'daddy's' wedding. I wouldn't want anything more out of my wedding then great pics and a great video. Good luck with your decision and do what you feel is right. HTH!
I will watch it whenever I want to relive my wedding day. Also it will capture so many things that I am sure I will miss.
We are not having one. What we are doing is buying and setting up a handycam on a tripod at the reception and having the dj announce that it is there. We hope that guests will go and turn it on and talk to it and turn it off. That way we can see everyone AND see our friends/family get drunker as the tape goes on. HEhehe
We're not having a videographer...we just had to cut something out, and this was the one thing that we felt that we didn't need. A friend will videotape a few parts of the wedding that we want captured on video.
We decided to go without the video - partially for money reasons, partially because we realistically thought we'd never watch it. However, FH is buying a good video camera and we are using that to videotape the church/reception and we are giving that responsibility to FFIL. HTH
ITS UP TO U....PERSONALLY IM NOT DOING IT BUT ILL HAVE MY LIL BROTHER RECORDING WITH HIS CAMCORDER......THAT SHOULD BE FUNNY WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY ALL THAT MONEY U DISPLAY UR PICS NOT UR VIDEO ...SO ILL JUST HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHER....PLUS IM NOT PAYING ALL THAT TO JUST WATCH IT WHAT 2 TIMES AND HAVE IT COLLECT DUST FOR DECADES...
we are having video, im soo excited at first my fh didnt want it but im glad he changed his mind. i know alot of people say you wont watch that much, thats what my fh said but you may more then you think and youll see all the things you missed, like the bridal party entrance things like that
