Videographer or just a photographer?

I am having a bit of a dilemma trying to decide whether or not to have both a photographer and videographer, or only a photographer...

I am having a bit of a dilemma trying to decide whether or not to have both a photographer and videographer, or only a photographer... I am trying to save money where I can, but I can't decide to include a videographer or not. I would love to have a clip of the important scenes from our wedding to watch in the years to come, but will photos be just as good? What are y'all doing, both or just one?

    For me videography was a must, more so than photography. We got our 5 min highlight film back and I seriously couldn’t be happier. It seriously puts a smile on my face every time. We have watched it over 100 times and I will for sure watch it 50 years from now. There are so many clips that are included that there is nooo way photography could capture including my giggle, or the photographer saying to my mom to look at her favorite child and we all started cracking up or when my hubby first saw me at our first look and he said “wow”. We are still waiting for our long Video, video of the speeches and dances and I can’t wait!

    We are doing just the photographer. Our wedding is small and short, so it just doesn’t make sense to video it. A good photographer is all that we will need for our type of event.

    Dear couples, as an option, you can ask photographer to make some short video moment during your big day and later on you can try to make editing by yourself in iMovie or in other apps, of course it will be different level, but at least made with soul by yourself)) I don't know maybe it will help). My opinion wedding photographer is just MUST)))

    Hi Megan! Did you do a merryoke video? How did it turn out? Did your guests participate or did they shy away from it? I just heard about it and really want to have ones but it’s only popular in Europe it seems so not sure that my guests will be into it.
