4 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Videographer for Your Hudson Valley Wedding

Planning your wedding and unsure whether to hire a videographer? We have four compelling reasons to say yes! While most couples think of photography as the big way to document the big day, wedding videography is becoming an essential part of capturing precious memories. As a Hudson Valley wedding videographer and photographer duo, we have documented hundreds of weddings through both photo and film. Couples who choose our videography services love the way their video complements their photos, bringing their story to life in an ideal way. Here are four reasons why you should consider videography for your wedding, too!

1. Videographers capture moments you might miss on your wedding day.

Hiring a wedding videographer ensures you will be able to relive special moments from your wedding day. While you are busy with the hustle and bustle of the day, your wedding videographer will capture meaningful interactions between guests and family that might go unnoticed. Even when you are celebrating with your loved ones, there are so many little moments happening that you might miss on your wedding day but you’ll be able to relive through your wedding film. From laughter to happy tears, videography services provide a lasting way to relive the emotions of the day, especially the small but beautiful moments you might have missed in the moment. Having video footage of all of the moments you couldn’t soak up on the day itself will help you have a more meaningful experience, allowing you to be in the moment while not worrying about missing other moments.

2. The movement and emotion of your wedding day will be captured with videography.

While photography freezes moments of your wedding day in time, wedding videography brings those moments to life. Wedding videography captures the full movement and emotion of your special day. From a first look to your dad walking you down the aisle, and your first dance as a married couple, video allows you to relive these significant events in real-time. A wedding day is full of so many moving parts, and video captures the full story in a way photos alone cannot. A wedding videographer captures glances between loved ones, tears falling, laughter erupting and spreading—the full range of emotions and sounds that will be even more true to your day.

Moments you might want to have on video include:

• Moments between the bride and her mom and bridesmaids
• Bride and groom seeing each other for the first time
• Groom’s reaction as the bride walks down the aisle
• Saying your vows and the momentous kiss that follows
• Your first dance with each other and your parents
• Family and friends celebrating during toasts and dances
• Candid moments between bride and groom during portraits or quiet moments
• Fun send-off at the end of the night
• And other emotional moments that happen organically throughout the day!

3. You get to hear and relive the sounds of your wedding day!

One of the most cherished benefits of wedding videography is the ability to hear the sounds of your special day—especially your vows. If you write personalized vows, you’ll be able to hear them again and again. In the commotion of the big day, you might not be able to savor every word as they are spoken. But having your ceremony on film ensures you can relive those heartfelt words for years to come. From emotional speeches to laughter and applause, capturing audio is key to experiencing the full depth of your wedding day.

4. All of the most important people in your life are in the same room.

Your wedding day is one of the rare moments in your life where all of your closest family and friends are gathered in one place. It is a day filled with meaningful interactions and memories you will never want to forget. That is something worth capturing. Hiring a wedding videographer ensures you can relive the moments with the people who mean the most to you in a tangible way. On a personal note, we know firsthand that you will cherish these memories because we truly cherish the video from our wedding day. We have one brief video of Jesse’s dear grandmother who has passed away from our big day, and we are so grateful to have that special moment captured forever.

Bonus Reason:  Wedding videographers can livestream your wedding for loved ones.

With technology playing a bigger role in weddings each year, professional live streaming has become increasingly common! Whether guests who can’t attend in person due to distance, health concerns, or an intimate guest list, a wedding videographer can help set up a high-quality livestream so your loved ones don’t miss out. Using profesional audio and video equipment, livestreaming through your videographer ensures everyone gets to experience your ceremony in a meaningful way.

What One Hudson Valley Couple Said:

“Prior to our consultation with Jesse we hadn’t really planned on doing a wedding video. When we met with him, he showed us one he had just done for another couple and it moved me to tears. It was then that I knew we had to have one. Throughout the day he was caught taking video at fun angles from getting low to the ground to capture our footsteps or using his drone to get a bird’s eye view. I am so happy we decided to do this and can’t wait to watch the video and relive the day.”
