Ah, the good ol’ question every couple asks themselves at some point during the wedding preparation process: “Babe, should we opt for wedding photography or videography services?”
If you’re struggling to answer this very question with your partner, you’re not alone. Couples across the nation generally struggle to figure out which option is worth investing in and which one they can skip without regrets.
In this blog, we’ll help you make an informed decision that’s right for your big day. Let’s get into it!
Ask Yourself: “Can I Stitch Memories Together From Photos?”
Some people have the uncanny ability to simply look at a set of photos and easily visualize how an event played out. If you and your partner can stitch memories together from photos, invest in wedding photography.
However, this is a slippery slope. Your family and friends may not be able to recall the memories as precisely. Moreover, your future children will be left out entirely!
Ultimately, investing in both wedding photography and videography is the best call as it helps you both capture stunning moments and preserve the fluid experience of your big day. If you must decide, prioritize photos and opt for a shorter video as an added treat.
Ask Yourself: “Is My Wedding Intimate or Grand?”
Couples who have intimate weddings generally prefer photos over videos, whereas those who have grand weddings request both photos and videos. This is because there’s a lot going on at grand weddings. There’s so much planned that couples don’t want the best moments to be captured through photos alone.
However, this isn’t a set rule. It’s possible that you’re having an intimate wedding, but still want to capture the most wholesome, fun, and tender moments of the day through a video. Review your wedding planning and think of how you want to remember the big day: through photos, videos, or both?
Wedding speeches almost always have heartfelt moments and jokes that deserve to be preserved forever in video. Similarly, you don’t just want to visualize your wedding ceremony through a set of photos; you want to re-experience reading your vows to each other through a video. Discuss both options with your partner and make a decision that feels right.
