Why hire a wedding photographer who also offers filmmaking?

Over the past few years of us being in the wedding photography and filmmaking business, we have noticed photography to be very high on the agenda when wedding planning but videography can sometimes be overlooked. We’ve spoken in depth before about why you should hire a professional videographer - you can share moments at any time to anyone who missed the wedding, you can relive all the special moments yourselves from the songs to your vows. The best part is you can relive them however many times you wish, over and over. You can also experience your wedding day from the perspective of everyone else as videography captures all the special moments of your family and friends.

It’s amazing to be able to have these memories that you can look back on whenever, and you can also pass down to loved ones through the years. Browsing through TikTok, I came across a post about regrets someone had about their wedding, and in the comments so many users said that they regretted not getting a videographer. Photos last a lifetime but they’re still pictures and don’t tell you much about the feelings on the day. Take a look at Amandine & Tom’s wedding film to see what I mean when I say feelings. They certainly don’t bring moments to life in the same way that video does. So it’s really worth considering videography as well as photography. One thing you should bear in mind if you’re considering hiring a photographer and videographer, is that it’s A LOT better to hire the same creatives i.e. a photographer that also does filmmaking for a number of reasons which we will talk about in detail in this blog-post.

So should you hire the same creatives for wedding photography and filmmaking?

Every couple plans their wedding differently, so it’s completely up to you whatever your decisions, however when it comes to wedding photography and filmmaking there are a number of reasons it can be beneficial to work with someone who provides both services:
