– Spend a huge amount of money to hire a famous wedding photographer to shoot your wedding (his photos always come out GORGEOUS!) but skip hiring a videographer
– OR –
– Hire a decent wedding photographer and also have the chance to hire a videographer.
Adding a poll to this!
@crackktheskyy: Definitely the photographer! No doubt in my mind!
I picked option 1, because chances are, you would only watch a video every now and then. However, you could put wedding photos up all around your home and enjoy them on a daily basis.
We’re spending a redic amount on a photographer and it doesn’t look like we’ll be hiring a videographer. The most important thing is to figure out what’s important to you guys? Will it be rewatching a video or flipping through an album? For us, pictures mattered more and if you want some convincing check out this tumblr: http://vintagebrides.tumblr.com It’s a good reminder that happiness (unlike dresses and flowers and hair) never goes out of style and exactly just what good photographic technique, lighting and composition can capture.
Photographer since you can have pictures framed, in an album, etc whereas you probably wouldn’t watch the video much.
Quality over quantity! I’d definitely take the amazing photographer and just have someone with an iPhone take a little bit of video for memory’s sake.
Decent video cameras are cheap these days. As long as there is some footage for memories sake it doesn’t have to be profession. I doubt I’d ever watch it and certainly wouldn’t go around showing them to people. Whereas, I would display a wedding album and give wedding photos to family
Good photographer. Hands down. You can’t display a video on the wall for the rest of your life.
Talk about an overwhelming majority! Thanks, bees!!
Your photographer may have the option to do videography. We had DH’s GoPro set up during the reception. Not the greatest quality, but I look at our photos a lot more than the videos. If you have a friend with a Flipcamera, that’s another option. I’d rather go amateur on video than photography.
