 Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2007 2:00 am Post subject: Wedding Photographer or Videographer? |
 |
|
|
| I'm wondering if it's necessary to have both a photographer and videographer at my wedding? Do I really need a photographer if I have a professional filming the entire day? If you had to choose between a photographer or videographer what would you go with and why? |

We had both - and I wouldnt trade it in for anything! Our pictures were awesome but the video caught emotions that you would lose on "paper".
Look for a local photograher that maybe has a package that would include both video and photography... Also - see if your photographer can give you your proofs digitially - then you can go to a Costco or Wal-Mart or Shutterfly (or any other of the thousands of websites) and make albums for your parents. That could save you hundreds (maybe even thousands) of dollars. |

| Thank you for your answer! I was leaning towards just a videographer but I know I want beautiful photos too. Prices are high in Madison, WI but I know both vendors are important. Thanks again! |

If you are limited budget, maybe can just user photographer. We wanted the best photographer we could possibly afford. I have seen very few videos that I liked. You could always have a friend shoot some video. I also didn't want to have every little flub of the day documented on video. I wanted to remember only the good.
Anyway, fortunately for us, we chose a photographer who also put together a video slideshow of our proofs set to music. So we do actually have a video of sorts.
We are happy with our decision and feel we got very high quality photographs. |

Physical photographs are essential keepsakes of a wedding! No matter how high tech and advanced we become the feeling of actually holding an image in your hand will own all.
Paying someone to film your wedding would also be quite a good investment...My suggestion would be get both...you only have one wedding (hopefully!) |
