What Do You Call Someone Who Films A Wedding?

This seems to be a pretty big question among brides who are just starting their wedding planning. I get called a photographer all the time - and it's not a huge deal, as long as we are on the same page that you want me to FILM your wedding.

Someone who films a wedding is called a "Wedding Videographer." 

Kelsey & Dakota - Outside at Jackson's Landing - SC Wedding Videography

Jackson's Landing is one of my absolute favorite places to capture beautiful outdoor weddings in South Carolina! It's located in the area of SC that I call home, yet the background for the ceremony makes it look like your at the mountains. Kelsey & Dakota were so much fun to film, between them & their family & friends, I was laughing the entire day.

10 Do’s & Dont’s to Purchasing Wedding Videos, Add Ons & Extras

I’m all for artistry & creativity - I never want to tell people what to do or not to do in regards to their artwork or memories.

But when it comes to videography add ons & extras, most of my brides tend to skip right over them without giving them a second look. Our add ons are additional services that you can add to a wedding package for a set fee. If you are already purchasing a wedding package and are interest in an add on, make sure to mention it!

How To Choose A Videographer For Your Wedding

1. Ask around - a lot of times people that you know will have reference to videographers they hired or chose not to hire and why. This is the easiest way to get ideas of where to start.

2. Use Google - videographers are starting to pop up everywhere. Chances are you will find a few you've never heard of just by typing "local wedding videographers" or something similar into google.

What To Consider Before Booking A Wedding Videographer

Style - Every videographer and every editor have their own style. Some company's have different videographers filming each wedding and a seperate editor working on the videos, so the style is constantly varying. Other videography companies have 1 or 2 videographers and editors which make their style more prominent. Watch videos of every company you're considering and make sure the one you choose will product a video that you're happy with.

Should I Budget More For Wedding Videos or Wedding Photos?

This is a question that only you can answer, but I can help guide you in the right direction. Photos and videos are both great, I would never promote one service over the other, it just depends on you. 

I grew up watching and enjoying home videos with my family, so video has always meant a lot to me - I knew before I ever got engaged that I would choose a quality video over quality photos if I had to. For others - they may already know that they will never watch the video again, maybe the video is only for the family who can't make it and quality doesn't matter.
