There are many reasons why you need to hire a wedding videographer to capture your special day, yet so many couples still ask the question ‘Do we need a wedding videographer’.
Planning the wedding of your dreams is undoubtedly an expensive endeavour. Some couples might consider cutting videography to save costs, but it’s an element that truly deserves a spot in your budget from the very beginning. As a videographer, I am biased, but a wedding video captures the essence of your special day in a way that nothing else can. Long after the day has passed, you can press play on your wedding video and be transported straight back to your big day – something many married couples will tell you is priceless.
From being able to relive your wedding day every anniversary to getting a behind the scenes view of the proceedings, here are six reasons you should capture your wedding on video…
Relive Your Wedding Day
After months or years of planning and the joy of the big day itself, every couple wishes they could re-live their wedding day all over again. A wedding video allows you to do just that. When you watch your wedding video, the emotions and memories of the day will come flooding back. From the nervous excitement of getting ready to celebrating with your loved ones as you partied the night away, with a wedding video every magical moment is preserved forever.

Share The Wedding Footage
A wedding video isn’t just for you—it’s also for your family and friends. After the event, invite your wedding party to watch the wedding video with you and relive the day together. Share the video with family who couldn’t attend the big day and save the video as a cherished heirloom for future generations. Of course, you’ll want to show the world your dreamy day on social media too!
Capture The Emotion
Photographs are wonderful. They hold a perfect moment in time and are an essential part of the wedding day. They can’t, however, capture the events unfolding the way a video can. A wedding video captures the raw emotions and the audio on your special day. From the tearful vows to the laughter during the speeches and from the way your dress moves as you make your way down the aisle to the flurry of confetti as you exit the ceremony with your new suppose, with a wedding video, these genuine moments are preserved in a way that still images simply cannot match.
Behind The Scenes
One of the most obvious reasons why you need to hire a wedding videographer is so that you can see all of the parts of the day you will be too busy to witness. A professional videographer captures not just the key events, but also the subtle, behind-the-scenes moments that make your day unique. With a wedding video, you’ll see your guests arriving, watch your partner getting ready and witness candid interactions that you would otherwise miss.

A True Portrayal Of The Day
A professional wedding videographer knows how to work discreetly, capturing your day without interrupting it. You don’t need to pose or do anything specific to create the video. A videographer will blend into the background, allowing you to enjoy your day without interruption. Your wedding video should be a true reflection of your day, not a staged production.
You’ll Have No Regrets
One of the most common regrets of newlyweds is not hiring a videographer. Amid wedding planning, it’s easy to underestimate the value of a wedding video. However, after the day has passed, many couples wish they had a wedding video to watch. If you are asking yourselves ‘Do we need a wedding videographer?’, the likely answer is yes. Plan to hire a wedding videographer from the start to avoid any regrets. Your wedding video is something you will cherish forever.
