Wedding Photography vs. Videography: What’s More Important for Your Wedding? 📸🎥
Photos vs. Videos: Capturing Moments or Reliving Them?

Here’s the big question—are you all about freezing those picture-perfect moments, or do you want to relive the entire experience in full motion (and audio)?

  • Photos are like little time capsules. They capture the sparkle in your eye, that teary “I do” moment, and the biggest grins during your first kiss. You can frame them, post them, and revisit them anytime you want. But, let’s be honest—they don’t capture the sound of your laugh, the music during your first dance, or the toast that had everyone in stitches.
  • Videos, on the other hand, bring your day to life. You’ll not only see the moments but also hear the love in your partner’s voice and feel the atmosphere all over again. It’s like hitting replay on the best day of your life. So, if you want to hear those vows and relive that dance floor energy, videography is your jam.

If the budget is tight, try combining both—get a team that offers both photo AND video. They’ll typically have package deals! Plus you could reduce the hours of coverage a bit and have wedding photography focus on the must-have keepsake shots and a short highlight film for those big, can’t forget, emotional moments. 😍

Consider the Scale of Your Wedding ⚖️

Big or small, low-key or lavish 3-day bash (we see you Priyanka Chopra 😜), every wedding deserves to be remembered. But for better or worse—smaller, more intimate weddings often lean more on photography to capture those sweet, personal moments. It’s perfect for cozy gatherings where there are less can’t miss moments happening simultaneously. 

But if you’re planning a larger event (hello, party of the year!🪩), adding videography makes sure nothing gets missed. With all those moving parts, from the reactions to your first kiss to the epic dance-offs, the video captures every tear, giggle or even boo-ing Dad off stage… they wouldn’t dare! 

That said, don’t let the guest list decide for you. A small wedding is still full of moments best captured through film—you whispering to your sweetheart as you meet at the front of the aisle, celebrating together as you get a moment alone just after becoming Mr & Mrs, and all the tiny interactions that go by in the blink of a blurry, tear filled eye. With video you don’t have to wonder if you’ll be able to remember what the day was really like in 30 years.

What Type of Memories Do You Want to Preserve?

Here’s where it gets personal—what memories do you really want to hold onto? Is it all about the way your dress sparkled or the way your dad’s voice cracked during his speech? 

  • Photography nails the visual details—your dreamy venue, the gorgeous flowers, and all those insta-worthy shots.

Videography takes it a step further. It’s about preserving the emotion of the day—the laughter, the vows, the “We’re finally doing this!” feeling that washes over you. You’ll see it and feel it every time you hit play.

Don’t Forget the Soundtrack of Your Day 🎵🎶

Picture this: you’re watching your wedding video, and you hear your partner say those heart-filled vows again, your bestie’s hilarious toast, or everyone chanting your name at the send-off. Sound familiar? That’s the power of videography. Your wedding photographer may catch the tears, but the sound? That’s what will take you back to that moment.

Do you really want to miss the chance to hear the laughter, music, and cheers all over again? Didn’t think so. 😉
