5 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Wedding Videographer

1. 5 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Wedding Videographer
We all know there's a ton of questions and tedious research when planning
your wedding—especially at the beginning. During the course of it all, you ask
all your married friends what vendors they used and see how much of their
brain you can pick. Calling the entire process "overwhelming" would be an
understatement. One of the most underrated and underused vendor is the
videographer. You'll hear brides raving about their florist, their planner and of
course they want an amazing photographer, but a videographer is always
seen as an added expense. Trust me, you may see it as an unnecessary
expense, but here are a few reasons why that expense is worth every penny:

2. 1. You can play celebrity for a day! Celebrities are often seen as "so lucky"
because the whole world knows their name and wants to be near them. Your
wedding day is the one day where you're the bell of the ball. It's not about
your cool older brother or your gorgeous best friend, it's about you. Celebrities
grow up on camera and have the luxury of watching themselves grow as a
person. This is your opportunity to say, "this was me... then." You can admire
how beautiful your dress flowed while you were dancing your first dance, or
how emotional you were when your sister said her first speech. You'll forget all
the little things you did that day, but the videographer will help you remember.

3. 2. You can create the soundtrack of your relationship. Getting married is one
of (if not the) most important days of your life. I don't know about you but I've
always wanted to be in a music video. (Yes, I know it's a very strange want,
but I think it's cool!) Unless you're in the entertainment industry or have
seriously crisp Mac Pro skills, when will you get a chance to be the "it girl" in a
music video? Most likely never. Here's your opportunity! Although this is only
one day, you'll get to hear and watch your relationship's story come to life.
Whatever song you choose to represent your love, it will live in your heart and
the images of that video will be alive in your mind forever.
3. You can be a fly on the wall. You're often told that your wedding day goes
by as fast as a camera flash... and it's very true. Right after "you may kiss the
bride," you're at the "last dance" before you know it—and then it's all over. It's
amazing how much action happens on that very day and unless you're
Wonder Woman, it's impossible to be everywhere at once. Your photographer
may capture your groom putting on his socks and cuff links, but they won't
capture the moment of when your husband-to-be looks in the mirror one last
time and says to himself "this is it" before heading to the ceremony. Or when
his best man smiles at him and says, "You ready, bro?" You'll be lucky enough
to be that fly on the wall and watch as your very own husband is about to take
you as his wife. Then there's that moment when you're walking down the
aisle, but your eyes are abundantly filled with tears of joy as you're trying to
keep it together. You're so emotional seeing your loved ones surrounding you
that you can barely see ahead. You'll want to see every expression on your
husband's face, from the moment the doors fling open.

4. 4. You can watch bloopers. If you got a good videographer they should
definitely offer you the "extra" footage that didn't make it into the video for
everyone to see. You'll spend hours crying from laughter. It's amazing what
people say when they forget they're being filmed!
5. You can build family ties. This may be the last point but it's certainly not the

5. least. Unfortunately family members and elders won't be around forever.
Whether he's walking you down the aisle or participating in that father-
daughter dance, capturing the memory and the moment with your father will
be footage you will cherish as long as you can remember it. Or how about
when your mom is helping you put on your veil and tearing up as she ties your
sash? Or when your grandparents see you for the first time in that gorgeous
gown as they stand there watching you and reminiscing about their own
wedding? After those loved ones are gone, you'll be so grateful you paid
someone to film your wedding. Family members live for moments like this,
and not letting them relive the moments by watching the video would be an
injustice.
