Did you regret not having video?

We didn't have a videographer, but we did have two photographers. We've only gotten our sneak peek back, but I can already say I'm very happy with the pictures they've gotten (and I've only seen 25 out of hundreds we'll be getting back). If we had an unlimited budget, we would have gotten a videographer. I love the videos I see from other couples, but it just wasn't a huge priority for us. It really just depends on you personally!

Talking to others that are already married wished they did because they were so busy and the day went so fast that they wished they could go back and see the little things happening in a video.

We had a videographer and we are so happy we splurged on that. We love our videos.

We had our day of coordinator use a go-pro camera to capture our ceremony and first dance and the quality was actually very good! Just throwing that out there as an option if you want some form of video

We booked a videographer, but I didn't know they were a big thing until last year! I have only been to one wedding where they had one, which was last summer. That's when we booked him! We watched him work our friends' wedding and then when we saw their short video, we were sold. It was pricey though...almost as much as the photographer because we want a short edited video to share, and the longer video for us (we're that couple who would watch it on every anniversary. I found someone as sentimental as I am We live far away, so for most of our guests it's a "destination wedding" and some people will not make it. The 10 min video will be fun to share with those individuals. Or for social media if you're into that. But if it's not in your budget, it's not the biggest deal in the world.

I got a videographer! She is a newbie, which I like. Inexpensive & gives someone experience. Maybe consider that route? I found her on a state-wide facebook wedding collaborative group.

Daughter always wanted video but it didn't originally fit the budget. She ended up getting an unexpected bonus about 6 weeks before the wedding and decided to see what she could find. She was super-picky about all her vendors, but for the last-minute videographers she took a chance on Thumbtack and ended up having great luck. She found a married couple who were available for her date, with a portfolio she was very happy with. They charged her $100 per hour, including all the raw footage, and had options for separately priced highlight videos. She ended up booking them for 7 hours (first look through cake cutting). She got 6 hours of unedited video (which is actually awesome because it includes all the original audio as well) and then a 6-7 minute highlight film for a total of $1500. When she'd originally started looking, she hadn't found anyone under $2500 and most were $4000+. She is extremely glad she has all the video she does, in addition to her awesome 1100+ fully edited still photos. Good luck!
