Would you rather... have a videographer or a second photographer?

Lynnie, on April 9, 2019 at 10:14 AM Posted in Planning 0 123

If you found yourself with some extra funds in your budget and had to choose - would you spend that money on a videographer, or get a second shooter?

Which would you choose?

    100% a second photographer - they capture the shots that the main photographer can't! Plus, we opted out of having a videographer anyway

    2nd photographer! We had two photographers (no videographer) and I would still make that same choice. 📷

    This is a toughy but I think photographer! I wan't every moment captured via photo and then would like a videographer for the main moments but people can video tape those and thats enough for me!

    I trust that my photographer will get the shots I want, I would go with a videographer.

    Is both an option? Our photography package includes a second photographer and we are considering a videographer.

    Videographer I guess. But only because the photographers we are hiring already are a 2 for 1 deal!

    Second photographer. I’ll look at the pictures often, but wouldn’t watch the video often enough for it to be worth it to me.

    In the beginning if I could only get one, I'd probably have chosen videographer. I didn't consider the benefits of a second shooter until ww, to be honest. But, I'm lucky that our photographer includes second shooter and we also added on videography.

    Videographer. I'd like to be able to hear the vows, toasts, and other well wishes for years to come.

    A 2nd photographer. I'd like to have a videographer, but it's not necessary. I feel like I could get more use from a 2nd photographer, one person can only do so much.

    Am I extra for wanting both? I need live action moments captured with the videographer and a good photographer to catch as many beautiful expressions as possible.
