It is not essential to have a wedding videographer on the day and it will be dependent on your budget, however all couples that choose a wedding videographer, always say that “they are so glad they did”. It can also be a lovely touch for those close friends and family who cannot attend on the day, and a high-quality film can make them feel like they were there.

A professional wedding videographer will blend into the background and not be invasive, capture all that happened on the day, but will also ensure that your wedding film looks like a feature film rather than a home movie. When choosing your videographer, make sure you have watched at least three wedding films from each supplier to get a feel of their style and how they have conveyed the mood of the day, whether it be relaxed or energetic, you need to find the right one for you. There are also different videography styles that you will need to consider, a film of just the ceremony, a documentary style film which follows the day as it unfolds and a cinematic style, which can also include drones to capture aerial views. However, speak to your videographer to see which style suits you and your budget.

Most wedding videography packages will include attendance on the day and then editing of you film back in their studio, sometimes they may include a second cameraman, but what inclusions you receive will be dependent on your budget.
