Preserving the memories from your wedding day is essential, not only for posterity but also to remind you of the beautiful moments that might otherwise be forgotten. What better way to preserve those moments than to get a professional wedding photography and videography team to do it for you? That’s our goal with this article: to help you understand the importance of both wedding photography and videography for your wedding day.
So, let’s start with why you should hire wedding photography and videography professionals.
Wedding days are stuffed full of memorable moments between loved ones, friends, and families. There are simply too many to count, and it can be difficult for inexperienced photographers or videographers to capture these moments, to even know where to start. It takes someone with experience to know where to be and what to look for. Without it, moments are lost forever.
But aside from knowing how to preserve these memories, wedding photography and videography offers the highest quality possible for preserving them. While it’s tempting to go with high-end phones or a friend of the family (and there’s certainly something you can do, no judgment from us), if you want crisp photos with great angles, you’ll want to get in touch with those who have the experience and equipment to give you what you’re looking for.
Now, let’s talk about what that looks like.
We completely understand when people see the prices for wedding photography and videography and start wondering if it’s worth it, especially since other parts of a wedding are likely going to cost too. So, we want to share with you what goes into that cost and what you’ll get for it.
First, let’s go over building a relationship. Wedding photography and videography aren’t just about the photos and videos you receive of your wedding. They’re also about the people taking those photos and videos.
Yes, there are plenty of people who do great work, but what takes something great and makes it exceptional is how well your wedding photographer and videographer know you and care about what you want. This is true of any wedding vendor you work with if you want to get right down to it.
Just like your job and the marriage you’re about to commit to, no one wants to be with people they don’t like, people who don’t accept or understand them. One of our highest priorities for our clients is to make sure they’re comfortable and happy with what we’re doing. After all, we want to get along with all of you too!
So, part of the process for wedding photography and videography is nurturing that bond. It’s about talking to our clients, getting to know them, asking questions, seeing what they want, and getting their input. We’re not there to take photos and videos and leave. No, we want what you get to be exactly what you’re looking for. That’s what any good wedding photographer and videographer would do.
It’s also important for wedding photography and videography that the photographer and videographer put their experience to use. During the process of getting to know you and what you’re looking for, we provide our suggestions too.
For example, maybe you have an idea for a location, but you’re not sure how best to shoot there. We can and will talk to you about angles, lighting, timing, posing, and more. As another example, maybe you’re feeling a bit unsure about being in front of the camera. We understand that, which is why we take the time to get you ready, talk you through the process, and give you tips on what to do.
In the end, we have lots of experience, and we like putting it to use helping you get the highest quality wedding photography and videography possible. Plus, since we go to so many weddings, we can probably give you some tips on other parts of your wedding too.
We touched on this earlier, but good wedding photography and videography need the right equipment. It also needs the right programs and experience with using those programs. After all, photos may need to be touched up later. Also, the videos will likely require editing for smooth viewing experiences.
Having the right equipment, programs, and experience makes all of this easier and higher quality too.
When you get your wedding photos and videos back from us, you’ll notice some extra moments included. You know, that relative you might’ve missed getting out on the dance floor or a kid throwing some flowers into the wind.
It’s hard to see and remember all these things, especially when you’re busy trying to get married and look good in your own photos and videos! But we love going out of our way to find all these moments for you. We think of them as gifts you can enjoy later after everything is said and done.
