Videographer

Oh wow! That's not ok at all! You have every right to be upset because that's blatant disrespect. Unfortunately you can't do it over and fortunately it isn't money out of your pocket. Maybe your husband can express to his family how they hurt you and set clear boundaries moving forward to keep anything like this from happening again.

Omg I would be pissed. Can you contact the photographer to see if they'll send you raw footage? I mean raw footage is better than no footage.

Since it's your husband's family that paid for the video, I don't see any reason why your husband cannot contact the videographer and speak to that person about your wedding video. It should include both families. I mean to most ANY professional videographer that is a no brainer ( even a non professional as it's a WEDDING). Now if they say they have no video of your family, then thats a problem. See if there is a contract. If so you and hubby read it well. You are clearly not satisfied, and I don't blame you. The video needs to be redone! Period! I am so, so sorry this has happened to you. God bless you and your husband!

View Quoted Comment Yes, I meant they should have raw footage with your family and if so, it needs to be redone. If they have raw footage with your family, you probably could take them to small claims court if they refuse to remake it. I'm sure a judge would side with you and your husband. Some people are just horrible!!

Your husband needs to contact the videographer and ask for the raw footage

And what we’ve all been asking... my husband called and they said that no footage of my side of the family was even taken. They have videos of my side in the background of things- but no personal interviews... I feel so cheated and disrespected...

View Quoted Comment That is crazy! Your husband needs to speak to his family and express to them how not ok this was. Had you known this is how they were going to handle the video you would not have accepted it from them and would have paid for it yourself. He needs to make them understand that their actions have robbed you of a true wedding video. It’s not ok. I’m sorry.

Damn, I'm not gonna lie, but they did you dirty. I would definitely give my in laws a piece of my mind.

Contact Them and see if you can purchase the raw footage and take it somewhere else to have it edited

That’s pretty crappy! Definitely have your spouse talk to his side of the family about this. Unfortunately there really isn’t much you can do. What’s done is done.

Are they actually a videographer business? Make sure to do an honest review. Did he get your ceremony and everything else?

I would be curious what conversations your in laws had with the videographer. I would assume your in-laws gave the videographer incomplete information. Since they paying and likely on the contract, he likely viewed them as the client and took their desires and wants into account moreso than yours.

View Quoted Comment I agree!! Definitely not ok. So sorry. 😥

Totally agree here! Unless the videographer was given specific instructions to video only one side of your family (which is a whole other situation) they should have footage to edit and add to your video! Best wishes for you!

Did anyone have any explanation as to why no one in your family was apart of the footage of BOTH of your wedding? Like to me that makes no sense unless it was done intentionally!?

Sorry that happened to you. That happened to me when I threw my daughter's very expensive sweet 16. My ex-husband's brother did the video (hes a professional) and only their side of the family was on it. I learned the hard way and wont let that happen again. Hugs for you!

This is so upsetting. I don't even know what to say, I'm sorry this happened to you. Your husband absolutely needs to address this.
