I am an avid blog reader and had an epiphany today....I should blog about our wedding planning progress. My hope is for people to comment with encouragement as well as advice. This is also for the family and friends not actively involved in the planning process.
So far, I have the ceremony and reception sites, my dress, the bridesmaid dresses, reception menu, dj, photographer, cake (cupcakes), and invitations are sent.
At the moment I am struggling with whether or not to hire a videographer. I want to capture our special day and have it for years to come. I also want something to take to England for the family and friends to see who are unable to attend. My mom says I should hire a high school kid, my fiance is worried about costs, and my dad is in agreement with me and thinks it is a good idea.
So my first comments NEEDED - Is a videographer a good investment or not? Better yet - if you did not videotape your wedding/reception, do you regret it?

ReplyDeleteWe are just getting the HD camera from work, setting it up on a tripod from the balcony at the church and one of the videographers from work is going to start and stop it. That way the wedding is on film, but it's free. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Jenn!
ReplyDeleteI think you should do it. I'm glad ours was taped. I can't trust my memory, but the video gets all those little details that are so touching, but fade. The wedding party speeches, the whispers you have for each other during the ceremony ("relax your hands, O.J."), the mistakes that are made...you certainly won't watch often, but family and friends who can't attend will appreciate it and you will too. Find something affordable. Community College film students or something.
