The Importance of Hiring a Wedding Cinematographer
INTRO
Although wedding photos and keepsake objects from your special day are important and beautiful ways to remember your wedding, there is nothing more real and memory-provoking than video footage. Whether it be one year after the ceremony or 50 years, seeing a video that has captured every detail and emotion exceeds the impact of any photograph.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VIDEOGRAPHY AND CINEMATOGRAPHY:
Instead of having a video that captures the entire sequence of events, resulting in a 2-3 hour long video, a cinematographer will use multiple different cameras and lenses to capture snippets of this special event. Using their skills to capture the most important moments to be remembered as well as some of the intermittent moments in-between, the end result is a 8-10 minute highlight video that is beautiful, emotional, and to the point.
Upon request, cinematography companies WILL give you a DVD of the uncut, full-length footage of your big day!
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
With all the planning, nerves, excitement, and people taking part in your wedding, when the day finally comes it is both beautiful and overwhelming. With so many people to interact with and so much love to share, the entire day goes by in a flash. If a cinematographer shares that day with you, those memories can be reflected upon and enjoyed more than just for a fleeting day.
INVESTMENT
Since weddings can rack up expenses very quickly, it may seem that the expense of hiring a cinematographer is an unnecessary one. On the other hand, why wouldn't someone want their wedding day to live on forever in a film? There is so much planning to achieve the perfect wedding, and one of the most effective ways to do all of that justice is to immortalize that day through a professional video.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT PHOTOS ARE NOT IMPORTANT?:
Hiring a cinematographer is not something that has to replace traditional photography - it merely adds to the ways that you can relive the emotions of that day.
CONCLUSION
Hiring a cinematographer for your wedding is a simple way to make your special day live on forever. By capturing the highlights of your wedding, cinematographers offer people the ability to relive the most important events of their lives in a short and emotional video. While photography is beautiful and provides people with everlasting memories, a video can provide so much more than just some snapshots of such an important day.
