Wedding Video or Wedding Pictures?
Think the choice between wedding video and wedding pictures is a matter of budget alone? This simply isn't the case ... there are advantages balanced by drawbacks to having either wedding video or wedding pictures to record your special day. There are also benefits and drawbacks to choosing to have both! Today we check out the things you need to consider when weighing up the choice between wedding video and wedding pictures.
What is captured?
When it comes to being able to capture different aspects of your day (from the speeches, to the music, to the parts that you weren't around for, to seeing people in their natural state rather than posed...) there is simply no substitute for wedding video.
Memory vs Imagination
Wedding video allows you to remember exactly how things were, while wedding pictures allow you to fill in the details with your imagination. Both of these have their advantages!
Special Effects
These are available for both wedding video and wedding photos.
Presentation
Both wedding videos and wedding photos can be presented either very plainly, or with all the bells and whistles added. In both cases, basic packages cost less than those with better presentation.
Future Proofing Your Media
How many of you know a couple that has their wedding video on BETA, and can never watch it again?! One advantage of wedding photos is that, once printed out, they can be viewed at any time well into the future. In decades to come, you'll probably need to put some thought into updating your wedding video media to make sure that it isn't lost to the march of technology.
The Logistics
Your wedding photographer and wedding video creator are both professionals ... and both of them will quickly see the best spot for the camera! If you choose to have both a wedding photographer and videographer, make sure that both of them have had experience in collaborating with 'other types of cameras' for wedding shoots.
The Cost
It's best to get a couple of quotes before deciding that a wedding video will be more expensive than wedding photos ... in many cases there is only a slight difference in price!
