Wedding Videographer v Wedding Photographer

Please Note: This article is not aimed at finding out which of the wedding services mentioned in the title is more important as they are both important in their own ways. It is aimed at trying to make people see that professional wedding video services are just as important as professional wedding photographic services.

A woman’s wedding day is usually the most important day of their lives. Everything must be perfect from the flowers to the cake, to the venue and not forgetting the all important dress. It takes months of careful planning and organisation, thousands of pounds to make it all happen and then before you know it the whole day has flashed passed your eyes in what seems like a blur. A day that has seen so much time and effort (not forgetting money) put into it and brought so much happiness and laughter deserves to be captured so that the memories can live on forever.

The wedding photographer has always been one of the most important aspects of the wedding day and still is. The photographer is usually one of the first wedding services to be booked by the bride and groom. The photographer is hired to capture moments from the day with professional, crisp clear images that can be looked upon in years to come.

The wedding videographer(s) aren’t considered to be one of the most important aspects of the wedding day. The wedding videographer(s) is usually one of the last wedding services to be booked by the bride and groom if even booked at all. The videographer(s) is hired to capture moments from the day with professional, crisp clear moving images (with sound and music) that can be watched again in years to come.

As you can see, a professional wedding videographer(s) provide a similar service to the professional photographer in the sense that they are capturing visual images depicting magic moments from the special occasion. If this is the case and with the added bonus that wedding videographers can offer moving images accompanied with sound and music to add to the whole atmosphere of the day, then why are wedding videographers seemed to be less of a necessity or less important than wedding photographers? Is it because of the bad reputation that wedding videos used to have and is there still a stigma surrounding them?

In my opinion, I believe that a professional wedding video produced by professional wedding videographers IS one of the most important aspects of the wedding day and is, at the very least, as important as the wedding photographer. All that planning, organisation, anticipation, nerves, excitement, tears, laughter, happiness all caught on film to be enjoyed again and again…priceless!

Don’t get me wrong though, a professional photographer is definitely an important aspect of the wedding day and shouldn’t be disregarded as being less important than a professional wedding videographer(s) and vice versa. These two services are two of the most important services during your day as they give a visual representation of your special occasion and provide an unforgettable memory of what should be one of the best days of your lives.

I will finish this article with the following saying which I believe proves that wedding videography should be considered as being as important as wedding photography: A picture is worth a thousand words, so I ask you one question: how many words is a moving image worth?
