Should we hire a Professional Videographer for our Wedding?


Should we hire a Professional Videographer for our Wedding?
If you asked FYEP/CSE this questions, our answer hands down will simply be YES.

Some couples think that hiring a Professional Videographer for their Wedding is a waste of money. They ask "How many times will we actually watch it?" 

FYEP/CSE's suggestions:
1. Upon receiving your wedding video allow some time alone for yourselves to watch  and relive the day. After you have both enjoyed your time alone and watched, invite immediate family/friends and watch over dinner, drinks, etc...
2.On your 1st anniversary have a small gathering, heck...(why not make it a party?!) with your family and friends. With everyone present,watch your wedding video and relive the day with them.
3. As you celebrate your anniversary each year, bring out your video and watch with your partner over champagne and strawberries or after a romantic dinner.

Ok, so as necessary as still pictures are, they can not capture the mood, movement and sounds of your wedding day like a movie can. One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have a great memory and you'll remember everything about your day. You won't, you can't, there are too many things going on and you're on cloud 9. With so much happening on your wedding day, the details may blur past you. But if you have hired a professional videographer, then don't worry - your wedding video will serve as a handy reminder of all the happy events and help you relive the day as years go by.

This post comes into place after one of our clients debated on whether a videographer was in her budget or not. It took 9 months for her budget to allow and her decision to be made but we're happy she had a change of heart a week to her wedding day and that we were able to help her find a great company and videographer...now we can't wait for the final product from Warger Productions!
