When you want to change your mind, but can’t

Since the beginning, I didn’t want video of our wedding. In addition to saving money, the video would probably be seen once and never again, unlike photos. Besides I don’t look good in videos But after watching so many beautiful video highlights of people’s weddings, I can’t help but want it. And I want it bad.

The problem? It’s too late. The budget has been set and I can no longer make modifications to fit videography into the budget.

I had the same problem. Buy a Flip and have a friend video for you. I had a friend video the whole day. It’s cheap and the quality is great!!!

Terrible idea about the Flip camera and having someone “follow you around all day.”

Video is something you will cherish and watch over and over again if edited in an artistic and creative fashion. Video allows you to re-live the sights, sounds, and emotions that photography cannot.

Email or call me if you are still interested in an elegant and artistic wedding film. I would be happy to speak with you regarding some barter options costing you no actual money if you were willing to pay hotel costs (I am located in Philly, so while we could drive, hotel stay would be needed).

Either way, good luck with your planning!

Get the video!!! Highly recommended. It will capture your expressions that a photographer might miss. More important…you will see your ceremony as others saw it. It will capture movements in your face that show your happiness that still photos will not capture. I promise you. And you WILL watch it more than once. Invest in this option; you will not be sorry.
