videography - for those who are already married and got their videos

is it worth the extra $700 to have an extra videographer and jump from a 30 minute video to an hour?

they also both include highlight reel and extra dvds for parents.

but neither include raw footage.

how important was raw footage to you?

I am super excited for the raw footage! I just feel like there might be certain moments that might be silly to put on the video but cool to watch. Our videographer told us to bring a flash drive and he will give us the raw footage that night!

Personally I didn't even really want a video, FH did lol. When we booked with Fade to Black we compromised by booking one videographer for 8 hrs; but we are only getting a 60-80 minute edited version and a highlight reel-set to music with 3 dvds (1-for us, 1-for FH parents, 1-for my parents). No raw footage and only videographer...that kept the price down and we were both happy :) Hope that helps!! Good Luck.

i think it's worth it, this way you get to have one person covering you getting ready and another at your fh's house. unless you are both getting ready at a hotel in which case i guess the one video guy can split up his time between both of you getting ready. but hands down getting a video with extra time for the whole ceremony was the best decision we made for the wedding. every time we watch it, it brings back all the emotions of the day in a way that the photos just simply can't. and yes we got the raw footage. it is not a must have, but i do think it's nice. there is no reason they shouldn't provide that. it's not like it costs them anything additional.

I really think that having two videographers made a big difference in the editing. They were able to get multiple angles for important moments (ceremony, first dance, etc) and some really interesting shots. It was also nice having video of each of us getting ready.
If you are getting a 30 minute video, will that include the ceremony? My edited video was about 1 hour and 10 minutes, but it includes the entire ceremony. I was able to negotiate the raw footage into the price, as long as we provided the hard drive for him to put it on. I like having the raw footage, but honestly, we haven't gone through all of it.
