Life in Motion
Hi Cindy - I can understand your confusion over this. Both photography and videography can cost quite a lot of money, and when looking for ways to keep your budget under control it's tempting to think one camera person at your wedding will be enough. Also, some wedding videos look a lot like 'photos with music' - showing couples posing rather uncomfortably and unnaturally. Why do you need two camera people getting the same shots?
But there are some major differences between the two that are worth considering before making a final decision. Most important of all is the experience it gives you. Photos can evoke certain memories and feelings, but a well-shot video makes you feel like you're actually there again, re-living the wedding moment by moment. It's the same difference between looking at a book of photos, and watching a movie. Which do you generally find a more powerful and emotional experience? Also, photos do a great job of showing what everyone looked like on the day, but only video can really capture them as they are - their mannerisms, voice, movements, the way their face lights up as they laugh.
I suggest you have a good look around at the range of videography styles before making a final decision. For example, we've been told by many couples that they were on the point of giving up on videography until they saw our work and realised that it was possible to get the real events of the day captured, rather than getting a video that showed a romantic fairy-tale version of the day.
If you're still not sure, try talking to couples who didn't get a wedding video and find out if it's something they regret. Surveys show that over 90% of these video-less couples wish they'd got their wedding filmed, because the photos only capture tiny silent frozen moments in time - but your wedding day will be a whole lot more than that.
All the best for your wedding and decision-making! Langdon
