Why You Might Regret Not Hiring a Videographer
Why You Might Regret Not Hiring a Videographer
The sounds, the movement, and the memories that still photos can’t always hold.
Alright, I know this might sound like a sales pitch—but it’s not. We don’t even offer videography. We’re all about the stills, the moments frozen in time. But after capturing hundreds of weddings, we’ve learned one thing the hard way: couples who don’t book a videographer often wish they had.
Here’s why.
Photos Capture Emotion. Video Relives It.
Photographs are powerful. They pause a second forever—the way your partner looked at you walking down the aisle, the tear on your mum’s cheek, the cheeky wink from a best mate. But some things just need sound and movement to really land.
Like the way your partner's voice shakes when they say their vows. The roar of laughter during speeches. Your best friend losing it on the dance floor.
That’s the difference. Photography tells the story. Video puts you right back in it.
You Don’t Realise What You’ll Miss—Until You Miss It
You’re in the moment on your wedding day, but you’re also in a whirlwind. There’s so much happening—some of it you don’t even see. The flower girl throwing petals like confetti. Your grandma’s reaction when you kissed. The way your parents glanced at each other during the ceremony.
Video captures all of that. It’s like watching your day unfold through someone else’s eyes. And that perspective? It’s magic.
The Sound of a Voice, Years From Now
This one hits deep. Voices change. People leave. And the sound of someone’s laugh, or the way they said something special on your day—that’s not something you can recreate.
A video holds that sound. Years later, it’s not just a memory. It’s them, right there with you again.
You Don’t Need the Whole Day Filmed
Here’s the thing—videography doesn’t have to mean a full-blown production with drones and three shooters. If the budget’s tight, just having someone there for the key moments—the ceremony, speeches, a few golden hour clips—can be enough.
Even a short highlight reel can become one of your most treasured keepsakes.
Still Not Sure? Ask Yourself This:
Will I want to hear our vows again someday?
What moments do I want to show our kids (or future selves)?
If money weren’t a factor, would I regret not having a video?
If the answer’s yes—even just a maybe—explore your options. There are talented videographers who offer simple, beautiful coverage that doesn’t break the bank.
And if you need a hand finding someone with the same vibe we bring to photography—raw, emotional, real—we know some legends we’d be happy to recommend.
