5 Reasons Why Videography is So Important At Weddings

The day of your wedding is going to be one of the most important days of your life. You've probably been fantasizing about this day since you were a child — the flowers, the cake, the rings, the celebration, and, most importantly, the lovely person you'll be spending the rest of your life with. You can see it all in your mind for months, if not years, before the big day... But what happens after that?

It'll be incredible, but it'll be a haze. A wedding consists of dozens of moving parts. While you will get to enjoy and remember most of them, what about the things that happen when you're not paying attention? While you're getting your hair and makeup done or lacing up your dress shoes? You've spent so much time thinking about this day that you deserve to be able to relive it as many times as you want in as much detail and emotion as possible. How? Invest in a quality wedding videographer with experience.

1) Nothing beats a well-made wedding film.

Yes, there are photographers in the world. Yes, you should definitely hire a professional photographer (we have a few names to send your way if you need them). However, nothing compares to watching your mother's eyes well up with tears or your partner's trembling hands as they place the ring on your finger. There are so many small events and movements that photographs can only catch a fraction of them.

2) Instead of just seeing your wedding day, hear it.

Your vows to one another and the emotion behind those words can never be replicated. Along with the lovely, and often hilarious toasts that are shared with you this day are irreplacable. When you learn you only have images of the words being spoken, you'll kick yourself over and over. A professional wedding filmmaker will bring not only cameras, but also professional audio equipment to capture every word spoken by the most important people on your day.

3) Reduce FOMO. (Fear of Missing Out)

That's how you feel when your pals go out and you're unable to join them. The feeling you get when everyone you know has seen the most recent episode of a famous television show but you haven't had time to watch. Having a way to share with everyone who couldn't attend your most important day how amazing it was, whether it's through Facebook, Instagram, or email, is something that will be treasured and enjoyed by all. Not to mention taking the pressure off of you having to sprint around catching everything at each moment.

4) Relive one the most important day of your life again and over again.

Consider how sentimental your childhood home movies are. Your father wandering around with a giant VHS camera recording you doing foolish things seemed pointless at the time, but they're now one of the few things that bind your childhood memories together. As individuals, time is our worst foe; she destroys our memories and robs us of our youth. Invest in a wedding film to bring back every drop of emotion that passes through you on your wedding day for the rest of your life, and be nice to your future, faded memory selves.

5) Regret and remorse.

We've never had a couple regret investing in themselves on their most important day in the many years we've been shooting weddings at Perfect Cadence Events, while we do know scores of couples that regret not hiring a videographer. After you are married, one of the most essential and significant things in your life will be your relationship with your partner. The most important thing in your life deserves to be remembered, relived, recorded.
