OK, so here’s the deal, for some reason when it comes to weddings not long after getting engaged people think “I HAVE to hire a great photographer.” Then, about 3 weeks before the wedding people think “I HAVE to remember to ask my cousin if he can bring his video camera and record it.” I’m not sure why it works this way, but for a lot of people it does. I truly get sad when I work weddings where there is not a professional videographer. This is a HUGE day, everyone is dressed up, people are smiling, dancing, and having a great time and honestly, you will miss most of it because it just goes by so fast. Photos are a great way to remember things, but let me let you in on a little secret. (Promise not to tell anyone?) a well done video about your day will tell the story in a way that photography can not. There is something about the movement, the audio, the music that just brings your day to life in an almost surreal way.
One of the first things I do when meeting with a bride is ask her about her videographer. Sometimes they mention someone, but often I hear “I don’t have room in my budget for it.” I get budgets and I understand not wanting to spend the next 30 years paying off a wedding, but let me do everything I can to encourage you to look and look again at finding a way to make it work. I have seen plenty of videographers and have done video work myself in the past and I can promise you that Vanessa and Brent McKellar do the best job in the area at capturing your day. That’s why I was so excited that they agreed to this discount idea. Trust me, Vanessa and I both would rather get a bit less money and know that you will be getting the best documentation possible for your day.
For those of you unfamiliar with her work, here are two of her recent films.
This next clip is one that you should not watch unless your next plan of action is to pick up the phone and book her. It’s kinda like and engagement session, only much cooler.
One last note, this in no way means that I will not work with other videographers or shoot weddings without videographers. Like I said, I understand budgets and sometimes certain combinations just don’t fit. I just wanted to offer a discount to those brides who are interested in getting one of the best in the area.
