Have you ever watched a movie/TV show or even a video online that made you laugh, cry, or feel something deeply? Or have you ever looked at a photo that captured a moment so perfectly that it actually took your breath away? If you answered "yes", then you have experienced the power of visual storytelling. Visual storytelling through photo and video is a powerful way to communicate emotions, stories, and memories that words alone simply cannot fully express. When it comes to your wedding day, visual storytelling is essential for forever preserving and reliving this important moment in your life. In this blog, we will explore why photo AND video are both important for your wedding, why you should book the same team for these services, and how to find the best photo and video team for your wedding.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PHOTO + VIDEO ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
The power of visual storytelling is truly incredible! Both photo and video are so important for your wedding day because they can each capture different aspects of your wedding day that you might not notice or remember. For instance, photo can capture the intricate details of your dress, your rings, your cake, your flowers, etc., while video can capture the sound of your voice, your laughter, your tears, and of course, your heartfelt vows and speeches to forever relive. Photo and video together complement each other very well and create a more complete and immersive story of your special wedding day. For example, a photo can freeze a moment in time, while video can reveal the deeper emotion of that moment by capturing every little moment along with the all of the audio. Beautiful visuals paired along with heartfelt vows or speeches are the ultimate tearjerkers in the wedding highlight films that we create. On top of that, photo and video can help you relive your wedding day in different ways, such as creating photo albums, slideshows, prints, social media posts, etc. Photo and video can also be shared with your family and friends, and even with future generations, as a way of celebrating your love and legacy forever.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING VIDEO CAPTURE YOUR WEDDING DAY
They say pictures are worth a thousand words. That means videos can be worth a thousand times more! Having pictures to hang in your home and to forever cherish your wedding day is essential to remembering this special occasion. Having a wedding video or wedding highlight film is also essential to forever remember the emotions you felt; letting your relive some of the most magical moments in your life. We will now dive into why having it is essential to add video to your wedding photography package for the ultimate wedding gift to yourself. Video is often overlooked for many weddings - but if you can add it to your wedding budget, you will certainly not regret it. The gift of forever remembering with such detail is truly priceless!
