The Videographer That Almost Wasn't

In the initial planning stages of the wedding, Daniel & I had decided not to book a videographer.  I'm more into still photography, and of course Daniel doesn't really care either way about photos or video :) so we thought it would be one way to keep the budget down.

At the Plano bridal show, however, I met a videographer I really liked.  I asked him why a bride should book a videographer-- why not just still photography??  His response really impressed me.  He said (paraphrased): When you look back in ten, twenty, thirty years, sure, you (and your future children) will be able to see how you looked on your wedding day from still photography alone.  BUT, what you won't be able to see from a photograph is how you moved, how you sounded, and the emotions involved in the experience.

After talking to my mom, she told me she also really wanted a video of the wedding.  So, she decided to book Wylie Video Productions for the wedding-- thank you so much, mom!!  I'm very excited about getting the whole thing on video, and I think I'll be really glad to have it a few years down the road.

Another thing we are considering is whether to do some video clips before the wedding (like a Love Story or a little wedding game) to show at the reception.  I think it would be kind of fun (especially the wedding game where they ask Daniel & I questions about each other), but we haven't made a decision on this quite yet (and we definitely have plenty of time left to do so!)
