The Importance of the Wedding Video

If you are solely planning on hiring a photographer to capture the magical moments of your wedding, you may want to think twice after reading this.

Wedding photography certainly has its perks. A photographer can record a kiss, a hug, or even a smile as a beautiful image forever cemented in time. For this reason, couples feel that pictures are all that is needed to document their perfect day. However, pictures are only stills of a single point in time. They are one-dimensional and lacking any back-story or sound. To truly capture a momentous occasion like a wedding, videography is the key.

On a lovely summer day, Caitlin and Michael were married at The Woodlands at Woodbury in Woodbury, New York. Prior to the ceremony, they began the day at the Four Points by Sheraton in Plainview, New York where family, friends, and them dressed up for the big day. Before Caitlin put on her beautiful dress, she was given a surprise gift from her mom’s friend who had bought silverware at Caitlin’s grandmother’s estate sale years ago. It was a very emotional moment because the friend had purchased the silverware specifically for Caitlin’s wedding day.
