Ok I’m gonna come clean…before I got married I was a little biased when it came to the discussion of photography versus videography. And at first I didn’t even want to hire a videographer for my own wedding. I thought, “Why do we need a videographer. We’re just going to end up with a video that we’ll watch once and then forget about. It’s not like a photo album that will be out on display on our coffee table.” To me video was such an intangible media when compared to printed photos and albums. But now that my wedding has passed I can whole-heartedly proclaim that video played an integral part of capturing the memories of our wedding day. EVERYONE should hire a videographer. The Motion Boutique did an amazing job with our video. I’ve watched it SO many times now and every time I get all choked up. It isn’t about photography vs videography or which is the superior art-form. It’s about creating more than one artistic representation of your wedding so that you can remember it in different ways, through the eyes of different people. I will always love photography. It is my chosen form of artistic expression and my passion. However, now I see that video offers something uniquely beautiful and different than photography and together they compliment each other.
