Cinematography is the 1st things cut from a wedding budget and the #1 regret couples have. Don’t be the couple who has regret after the wedding…. Here is my case for why you need a wedding film and a professional cinematographer.

1. Of course you are going to have a Photographer on your wedding day…. but photos only capture the sites of the day. Don’t you want to capture the sounds and the emotions of the day? Don’t you want to hear what your fiancee’ says to you the first moment that he see’s you? Or your dad tearing up as he gives his speech? Or what your mom says to you as she zips up your wedding dress? These moments are some of the most important of your life and ones that you will want to remember 10 years from now. A wedding film is the perfect compliment to your still photos.

2. Wedding Cinematography is a hindsight purchase. You will not realize the value of a wedding film until the day after the wedding when you are recapping the night before with your husband. If you have a wedding film to look forward to you will be ecstatic knowing that the memories are preserved… hire a professional Cinematographer.

3. A wedding film will show you parts of your day that you never knew existed. We split our Cinematographers up and have them cover different elements of the event. Elements that you won’t see like the groom getting ready or the bride getting ready.

4. Sometimes we experience loss. We have had many brides now who have unexpectedly lost someone after their wedding and were so grateful to have their wedding film to look back and see that person enjoying such a wonderful and happy day.

5. You are spending ALL of this money. What is a little bit more money to preserve the memory. You deserve to remember this fabulous event. I have never had a bride say to me “I have too many memories of my wedding day.”

6. With the world of HD and all of the cool technology it is a shame not to take advantage of that.Don’t you want to show your kids exactly what mommy and daddy’s wedding day looked like?

7. Wedding films are not what they used to be. They aren’t just set up a camera on a tri-pod and hit record. Wedding films are cinematic, emotional, they have creative shots, they include great audio. They are your own customized wedding film.

8. You can share your wedding film with people who couldn’t be there to celebrate. You won’t just be showing them pictures, you will be bringing them into the moment.

9. Because these memories are priceless and you can’t get them back.

10. Once people find out what we do for a living they often say, “That is the one thing that we would have done differently…. We would have hired a Wedding Cinematographer. We had my uncle shoot it and he ran out of tape. OR…. We had a friend shoot it and it was awful. It made us motion sick to watch it. OR We had so and so do it….. fill in the blank of some tragedy that happened where the memory was lost forever.

I know you may not see the value now but trust me 10 years from now you would do ANYTHING to have those moments back. Make the investment. I promise you that it will be one of the most worthwhile purchases that you make from your wedding day.
