Should I also get a videographer

If you're asking this question, you already know the answer. If you don’t go for it, you’ll always wonder, “What if?” But if you do, at least you’ll have no regrets.

Each bride has a different answer as it's what important to you, video definately captures moments on your day you don't want to forget, however in my experiance this is what brides have told me. 

1. Only watched the video a couple of times however the photos many times. 

2. Compromising on the quality of the photographer to be able to aford video was a regret. 

So I came up with a something unique, Fusion wedding video. Video of ceremony, video of speeches and a highlighs video that can be added to any of our photography collections without compromising on quality of photos for a minimal fee as no additional staff are needed, so you get best of both worlds.

It's a beautiful keepsake to have a short video to remember your day, and share with family and friends. If your budget allows it's definitely amazing to have both - but if not perhaps ask yourself which one will I be more likely to revisit on a regular occasion? And is the extra money worth it? I find most of my clients will have photos in albums (and framed) they can look at to remember the special day quite regularly, but with a video you may not refer back to this quite as much. Hope that helps! 

It’s nice to have a videographer at your wedding, so there is a video memory of your big day. Most videography services provide a feature film or a highlight film.  :)

Looking back your day with a highlight film will certainly make you smile, and revisiting those cherished memories is a heartwarming moment, like when my husband cry when I walked down the aisle of the ceremony, or the first dance tender moment.

But it also comes down to your budget as well, maybe I want more coverage of photography, or having a video memory of a short highlight film. It is a personal preference, and photography is always certainly a must have in weddings.

This is a great question. Both photographers and videographers aim to capture special moments and both require different skill sets and equipment. Both charge according to their experience. At the end of the day, it's a personal choice, however you should allow a bigger budget to pay for both. 

There is no right or wrong answer here - it honestly comes down to your personal preference and your budget at the end of the day. Videography captures the day in a real time view, which my previous couples have never regretted. It's a little different to photo's, that you can print and pop up on a wall or in a photo frame. While photos capture the moments frozen in time, video tends to bring to life those same moments, allowing you to reminise what was said at that time.  If it were a question of choosing between the two, I'd always go for the Photography side of things first, but if your budget allows for it - I would 100% suggest you consider having a videographer on the day as well. xx
