I cannot make up my mind on whether it is worth the extra money to get a videographer to tape something that will probably only be watched twice in my life, once right after the wedding and again 50 years from now. Is it worth it or not?
If you can fit it into your budget, go for it. I agree with everything that has been said
I am having some family members do it for us. I know a lot of people say it's worth the money to have a professional do it, but I personally don't agree with that. If we watch our video more than twice in our life I will be shocked. If you guys are into watching things than go for it. But if you can't see yourself watching the video more than a couple of times I would say save the money and ask a friend/family member to do it for you.
I was really planning on not getting a video myself(just have a friend record it or something), but then my mom saw a video (I was really ill last week & she went to some photography appointments for me) & she cam home saying I really need to get one(she had been really against before). She brought up all the points that have been mentioned in this post, so today I started surfing the Videography websites & viewing their clips & now I really do want one. It really seems to capture emotion in a way I just don't think photos do. Even if we only watch on our anniversary, its something I really think I'll appreciate having. I don't want to go over board(it was not in my original budget), so I plan on really shopping around(I actually really enjoyed the Wild Rose clips & I know they are highly recommended on this board).
I am getting a video for all the reasons mentioned above, but my brother didn't have one. We assigned a family friend to the video camera and he got all the major highlights- so that is another way to go if you don't have room in your budget.
I think it is definitely worth it. Several of my friends did it and are happy they did. I went with Wild Rose Video..they are awesome and a vendor on here.
I would say definatelty without a doubt!! Check out Wild Rose
I did not get the wedding taped. Some people brought their video cameras and taped if they wanted to. I have no problem not having a professional tape. I am so turned off by videos... I am the 1st to run away when I see one coming. I am a renegade- I didn't do table cameras either. It wasn't a money thing- more of an ambiance thing.
I am also not sure of getting a video--I definitely want one but since we are on a budget I am searching for a good but inexpensive one, I've heard a lot of great things about Wild Rose--does anyone know if they have affordable/cheap packages?
