Wedding video??? Need your input...

For those that are already married.... or soon to be married. What are your thoughts on getting a videographer for your wedding. Was it worthwhile, do you watch it, do you regret it... Please share your thoughts. My FH and I are trying to decide if we should even bother. I want it and he doesn't.... we both understand each other's point of view.... but we just want to make sure its a worthwhile expense. Please share.....

FH and I are having it... I think that its well worth it! It all depends on if you think you'll watch it or not... FH and I know that we will watch it al lthe time, plus we are getting copies made (as many as we need) and we are sending the DVD with the thank you's... Personally, I think it's worth it even if you and FH won't really watch it because maybe someday your kids (if you plan on having) may want to watch it...

My aunt and Uncle got married in 1991 and they had a videographer and their 3 kids watch it all the time.. I think thats so cute!

At first I was on the fence about video...but soooo glad we got it...the day went by so fast & you are on such an adrenaline high you hardly remember stuff...i love watching our ceremony since we wrote our own vows & Dh surprised me by re-proposing in front of everyone...we laughed watching our guests do stuff that we didn't notice the day of...and we have shared the video with many friends & family who weren't able to be there that day.....to us it was so worth it...we did go with the least expensive package and loved the results..(Wild Rose)....i have tons of beautiful pics that captured the day as well but the video is like being there all over again....i'd recommend getting it...or at least having someone shoot stuff for you with a video camera.

Well in the beginning FH didn't want it and I did. I know we won't watch it as often but it is something nice I would like our future children to see and when we grow old and senile it would be nice to watch again lol. Besides I would like to see things I may have missed at the wedding.

We are having one, I cannot imagine with all of the photos we are going to be taking, and people that we are going to say hello to, that we would be able to capture and remember all of the details - it isnt that expensive - i would say its definately worth it..

We are also getting one. My FH said he didn't want one but once he saw the one from my photographer and he started tearing up, he was like, we MUST get one!! ha. We're getting one for each parents, and then ours. We're planning on watching it on our 1st year anniversary together while eating the cake top! Ha. I'll prolly watch it before then...like when I just get it and all..lol.... but with everything that will be going on it's hard to say not to get one.... my friend got married in Decemeber thinking that she wouldn't care for on, but now it's a huge regret....

We're not having the videographer, but it's not a bad idea to have to show your kids in the future, as someone mentioned before. Other girls I know still haven't watched their videos and they've been married for years!

I agree!!! I have read on here that you miss so much at your own wedding and it gives you a different perspective!!! I can't wait to see ours and I haven't even gotten married yet

P.S. Sorry to be morbid but...another reason to have it is that it will give you live footage of people who may not be with you in the years to come. Photos are great, but live video cannot be beat when you want to remember them.
