Are you doing a wedding video?

[TammyB]

I'm on the fence about doing a wedding video. Cain's fine with it if that's what I decide, but I can't make up my mind one way or the other.

 

Are you doing a video? If yes or no, please explain way you choose yes or no.

Yes. I hired BVP for 4 hours to shoot raw footage for me.

 

A video was a non-negotiable item for the wedding, imo. Jeff didn't think we needed it. I know that I will be very caught up in the moment and will want to relive it a couple times. I also didn't want to stick any of my family or guests with the job of videographer.

I also hired BVP. I just didn't want to regret not having a video. A few of my friends said that they wished that they did. I figured it is a good idea, since I'm afraid the whole thing will be a blur to me.

we are having a videographer just for the ceremony up to us signing the marriage license....

 

now my cousin has one for the whole trip which will be more entertaining especially when we are all on the booze cruise lol

Hmm, The reason I'm on the fence is because I'm having a hand full of guests (3 to be exact) and since Juan does such an awesome job I could do a little CD with his pics set to music. And it wouldn't cost me anything. Do people really want to listen to our vows and such? I mean I can see if our wedding was larger and people say things to the bride and groom but that wouldn't really happen for us.

Tammy I am doing that-I am also going to possible record the audio of the ceremony (using a digital voice recorder). I don't really ever see myself sitting down and watching a video but I always look at pics-I look at my b-pics daily (well the only ones I have so far on here)

I agree that Juan does a great job and your pictures will be phenomenal. His slideshow would be wonderful as well. However, don't worry about if "people" want to listen to your vows- do YOU? Most of what I have done concerning the wedding is for no one else but myself. If you don't care about watching a wedding video in the future, then don't bother!
Jeff's mom and sister are so excited that we're doing a video, this way his sister can see it. I honestly couldn't care less what they think- I want a video so I can watch it again- I know it's kinda a selfish line of thinking, but it's MY wedding so I'll do what I want! I would still have a video even if it was just Jeff & I getting married by ourselves, but that's just me...

IMO, if you are saying personal vows, you will probably want it. I know that if I did personal vows I'd be crying so hard I'd have no idea what he said to me!!! On another note, I too think that your family might like to see your wedding since they couldn't be there. I would assume that you are having a very short ceremony, so it's not like it'll be painful for people to watch.

Hmm... I don't think I helped. How about you flip a coin?

[TammyB]

OK you flip it for me.. Heads I'll do a video, tales I won't.. Be honest in the way the coin falls..

[Sarah]

Tammy I flipped a penny for you and I swear to God and on my life that it said heads...do with it what you like:) lol
