BAM - Video Edition!

Gen, on September 3, 2019 at 1:20 PM Posted in Married Life 0 20

Finally, our much anticipated video!

Let me tell you, hiring a videographer was one of the best decisions we made! Initially we were so on the fence about it, and we actually decided against having one for budget reasons. Then about 6 weeks before the wedding, I was still having so much anxiety and upset about not having a video of our ceremony. Luckily, we still were able to book our videographer only 6 weeks out (I don't recommend cutting it that close if you can avoid it LOL). Everyone always says "you won't watch your wedding video that much." Well, that's probably true. We watched it the day we got it, and I have no idea when we will watch it again. Maybe not until our anniversary, lol. But to me, even watching it only on occasion, it is still so worth it to have it. I can't imagine NOT having it. I love that in 5 years, and 10 years, and 50 years we're going to be able to relive the day and to share it with our children, and grandchildren. Video really captures the emotion in a way that photos just can't.

That being said, even after realizing how important a videographer was to me, I really only cared about the ceremony video and could not have cared less about the highlight reel. It came with the package so of course we were going to get it, but it wasn't really something I was expecting to get super excited about...... but, oh my god. I am so COMPLETELY in love with it. I cannot believe how much I love this video. And I keep catching my husband smiling at his phone, because he's watching it yet again hahaha.

So, without further ado, HERE IT IS. Not posting our full ceremony because I'm not about posting our vows on the internet lol, and y'all don't want to watch a 30 minute video anyway hahaha. But here's the highlight reel! Enjoy! Smiley smile Our Wedding Video

    I have become obsessed with a wedding video. We have gone back and forth multiple times, but we realized that since I keep bringing it back up, it's obviously something I would regret not getting. We are 9 weeks out and I just started looking, haha! But I absolutely cannot wait to see all the emotions in the video afterward!

    YES the same thing with me! Even after we "decided" no, I found myself thinking about it CONSTANTLY. And I was getting to the point of being unable to sleep thinking about how I'd set up a tripod in the ceremony room to get a video, what angles we could capture, if I'd have to buy or rent a new camera, etc...... it was so beyond stressful. And it wasn't until the 6 week point where I was like oh my god, the price of a videographer is so freaking worth getting rid of this stress for myself Smiley xd Good luck! I hope you're able to find someone!!

    So exciting!!! Videography was something I really wanted too and didn't think we were going to be able to afford. We ended up making room in the budget and can't wait. Our wedding is about a month out and I'm thankful that we will get to relive the day over and over with video Smiley heart

    Yesss I’m so glad you were able to squeeze it in too! We actually ended up getting way more declines than we expected so I was so relieved we actually didn’t even end up going over budget for it! But honestly even if we had to go over budget for it I still think I would’ve done it...... it is so priceless to have this honestly, worth every penny to me!!

    What a beautiful video! I love the behind-the-scenes moments.

    Unfortunately, we 110% don't have the budget for a videographer, but I'm glad so many people are able to make it work!

    Thank you!! We actually didn’t have the budget for it either but we got so many more no’s than I expected, and I realized that the money we were saving from all our no’s was actually MORE than the videographer I wanted would cost, so we last-minute went for it!

    If you do care about video but can’t afford it I’d recommend asking a trusted friend or relative (or two, just in case one messes up lol) to take a video of your ceremony at least, and maybe just a few clips from the reception. My friend’s mom brought her video camera to our wedding and, while we had an unplugged ceremony, she did a round at cocktail hour and got just like a 2 minute video going around the room of everyone saying hi and congratulations to the camera, and then a few clips of people dancing at the reception.... honestly it was amazing! She’s by no means professional haha and of course nothing can really “replace” the quality of a professional video, I think if we couldn’t have afforded the professional it would’ve been almost as wonderful to just have some of those moments captured like she did!
