"We're definitely getting photos… but do we actually need video too?" It's the most common question we get, & the honest answer is it depends on what you want to hold onto. Here's how to work it out.
What do wedding photos give you?
Photos are the record. They go on the wall, in the album, on your nan's fridge. They're easy to share, easy to print, & you'll look at them more than anything else from the day. If you can only do one thing, do photos.
What does wedding video give you?
Video gives you the two things a photo can't: sound & movement. Your vows in your own voices. The speech that got everyone. Your dad's laugh. The way the dance floor actually felt.
Is there something between photos & a full video?
Yes! Two options if a full video doesn't fit the budget:
- Real Super 8 film. A short, grainy, warm film of your day, set to music. There's no sound on Super 8, so it's the feeling of the day more than the words. It adds on to any photo collection, from $1,500. Here's how Super 8 works.
- A shorter video collection. Video covering the ceremony & the first part of the day, so you've still got your vows & the speeches.
Should photo & video come from one team?
If you can, yes. With one team, the photographer & videographer plan the day together, so nobody's standing in anyone's shot & your day stays calm. Everything comes back matching in style, because it's edited by the same team. With us, photo & video together also costs less than booking each on its own.
So, do we need a videographer?
Do photos no matter what. Add video if hearing your vows again matters to you. Add Super 8 if you love the old home-movie look. And get it all from one team!
