Why Wedding Photography and Videography is Important!

While a wedding day is supposed to be the most beautiful day of your life preparing a wedding may become overwhelming. You start enthusiastically with choosing a dress, a wedding cake, and small decorations until you end up exhausted by choosing the seats for guests, music, and all other, not so funny to-do things. One of these is also choosing a proper photographer and videographer.

When it comes to preparing a wedding some couples may choose to book a wedding stylist and let the professional do everything for them. But that also depends on the budget you are eager to spend. Also, for someone, this special day can’t be done except by themselves. It comes from “I enjoy doing all the cute things” and thinking about how nobody can choose better because only you understand the style you are going for. Anyway, if you decide to do the most preparation by yourself you need to have good organizational skills and time for it.
It may take you over a year to do so, and while you are unchecking the stuff from your list you start asking yourself, do I really need these flowers around the table, candles at the altar, gift cards and whatnot, and do I really need a photographer and videographer for my wedding?

To anyone having doubts about this, the answer is yes! It is up to you if you are gonna hire a professional photographer or a friend who is passionate about it, either way at the end of the day you will be happy to know that someone was there for you to catch all the special moments.

Guest Are Not Overwhelmed by Their Phones

Everywhere we go we are carrying smartphones. And with social media trends evolving people got addicted to taking snap out of everything. Especially when it comes to special occasions like birthdays, bachelorette parties, and weddings. The guests can also take a break from technology and spend the day without thinking to take a selfie with the bride and groom, but they can relax and be present at the moment. And that is what counts the most, to be able to enjoy all the beautiful things life offers you without trying to catch the memory before it fades because someone else is doing that for you. It also becomes a tradition to gather after the wedding day and watch the photos from the ceremony as well as the video and share the emotions again that was experienced that day.

Unleash Your Creativeness

Today people are pushing their boundaries and trying to be creative as much as they can. That is also the case with wedding photography. The couple can choose if they want to pose for the pictures before and after the main event and the best thing about it is that they can do whatever they want. From choosing location, style and theme, to dressing like the Star Wars fans and make it the main theme of your photoshoot. Someone likes it funny, someone likes it elegant, and there are a variety of things you can do that will make it unforgettable.

Keep Your Memories in a Book

Even digital photography is leading nowadays when it comes to wedding photography, you have both, digital and film. You can have both – photographs on your computer, and video to watch on your ultra big screen, and also a film photograph in your hand. Even better you can make a photo book out of it. There is no mistake in hiring the photographer for your wedding day. If you are a spontaneous person and you don’t like to spend much time taking photos and memorizing everything or you are a well-organized person who needs to have everything under control. In both cases, you have someone having your back.

Hiring Wedding Photographer and Videographer Will Pay Off

Everything we talked about here sounds like a big plus, right? But that may change for someone who is low on budget, or just doesn’t think that it has a great value for them. When it comes to the budget most of the people are doubtful but after not having a photographer and/or videographer they say they wish they did. It’s once in a lifetime event and people care to have that special day recorded. And in this century you have a variety of photographers you can choose, from people you know, or from people you follow on social media. You can literally google the style you want out of your photos and you will end up finding a photographer that does just that, what you dreamed your wedding photos will look like. You also may hire a friend who is at the beginning of their career who will do it for compensation that you both agreed on. The only thing you need to do is to trust them and relax.

Choosing a Good Photographer and Videographer

As we mentioned above today there is a variety of professional and amateur photographers, studios and video agencies that you can pick from. They don’t even need to be from your country. The main thing is to decide first what you want and put it on paper. What kind of style, color, shots you are aiming for. After you make a decision, you can google or search on Instagram or ask a friend for a recommendation. The best would be to have a meeting in person to get to know the person who will be responsible for memorizing your once in a lifetime day. Sometimes it is more important to meet the person and see if you are compatible and feel if you trust them with the task than to check their portfolio and think they can do the same for you.

Maybe you don’t want to have all the duties of choosing a photographer and what kind of shots he/she should take, in that case probably the best thing is to just hire the most recommended one and tell him to the job. Experienced wedding photographers already know what moments are a necessity to catch and also can bring a little extra that you didn’t even think about. That is why they are professional workers. That is what you are paying for your wedding photography. If you chose to go with an amateur photographer or a friend, that may be a good and a bad idea. If you like their style and their previous work then it must be a great match since if you know each other well they will probably do their best to capture you and your partner in the best light, your internal jokes, and such. But have in mind that it is very important to make a proper agreement before the wedding with your friend when it comes to compensation since sometimes the idea of hiring a friend for any job can be problematic and that is why it can be a bad idea. This also can happen with a professional photographer/videographer so it is of utmost importance to arrange a contract.

New Trends – Drone Footage

The new equipment that is trending nowadays is definitely a drone and it is a MUST! The aerial shots of your first kiss as a married couple, this little flying machine can take dramatic and unique shots that look just awesome.

You don’t need to be an influencer to have amazing pics and shots, you can be whoever you want to be at your wedding and the photographer will make sure of it.
