Is Wedding Video Worth It?

Wedding season is upon us! Of course, you can get married any time of the year, but everyone knows that summer is the most popular season to tie the knot. And why not? It’s beautiful, sunny, warm, everyone is generally happier. So as busy brides prepare for the big day, it’s time to get the final ducks in a row. Decorations, caterers, give the band your song list… but what about video?

Wedding videography tends to fall low on the priority list, especially when it comes to the budget. And this is understandable. After all, pictures are easy to post on facebook or carry around in your wallet. And let’s face it – we’ve all seen wedding videos. You know the videos I’m talking about – low quality, stuck on a tripod, horrible audio. And who really wants to watch the ceremony over again? Some people maybe, but personally, I didn’t really want to listen to the ceremony during my own wedding (we chose a very short version)! In my opinion, it’s the most boring part of the wedding video. It’s a beautiful, emotional and truly special thing to experience but like a book that was great the first time through, knowing all the twists and turns makes the second read lackluster.

So if that’s all you’re getting, it stands to reason that you may as well just have your nephew point his iPhone at the alter and pay him twenty bucks, right?

But let’s look at the world of video today – Youtube, Vimeo, and Facebook now all make sharing your wedding video as easy as sharing your pictures. And advances in video technology have made high quality cameras and editing equipment available to budding young artists (like us at Unveiled Productions) who possess the creative energy and vision to make a wedding video that really speaks to the emotion of the day, rather than merely document an event. All that, and it can be done at a reasonable rate.

So before writing off video completely, take a look at some samples, shop around, look at prices – and realize that the wedding video is not what it used to be: dry, straightforward, and low quality. You can obtain wedding videos today that are exciting, heartwarming, and high quality at a reasonable price. A video can really capture the essence of your wedding day through motion and music, in a way that still photos alone never will. Remember, a photo is for capturing an instant, but a video can capture an entire experience – and this is perhaps the most important experience of you life. Capture accordingly.
