Do I Really Need a Wedding Video? (Here’s What Couples Say After Watching Theirs)

Let’s be honest — you’re probably asking yourself this right now:
“Do we really need a wedding video?”

It’s a totally fair question. Maybe you’ve never loved being on camera. Maybe it’s already a big investment. Or maybe you’re just worried it’ll feel like a production — and that’s the last thing you want on your wedding day.

So here’s the real answer:

No, you don’t need a wedding video.

But if you’re the kind of couple who wants to relive your vows, hear the speeches again, or see the moments you missed while you were off hugging someone else — then you might want to keep reading.

What Most Couples Say After the Wedding

Here’s what I’ve heard time and time again from couples who were on the fence:

“I didn’t think we needed a video… but now I’ve watched it 20 times. I cry every single time.”
“The photos were amazing, but the video made me feel like I was back there.”
“We missed so much in the moment. The video gave us a second chance to see it all.”

This isn’t about getting a cinematic trailer of your wedding day (though you will get one).
It’s about creating something you can come back to for the rest of your life — something that sounds, feels, and flows like your actual day.

You Don’t Have to Be “On” All Day

A lot of couples skip video because they think it means more posing, more pressure, or more performance.

Not here.

The way we work is super low-key. We blend in, capture what’s real, and never interrupt what’s happening just to get “the shot.” You won’t feel like you’re being filmed — you’ll feel like you’re being fully present, and the story is being told around you.

What You Actually Get

Every couple we work with receives:

• A highlight film (crafted to tell the story of the day)
• A full ceremony video (unedited, start to finish)
• Full speeches or toasts, depending on coverage
• Optional audio of vows, private letters, or voiceovers

It’s not just a recap — it’s a time capsule of the people, voices, and energy that surrounded you.

Why We Only Offer Photo + Video Together

When you hire separate teams, things can feel disconnected — different styles, different timelines, and more moving parts.
That’s why we only offer combined photo + video coverage. One team. One story. One shared vision.

You don’t have to manage multiple vendors or worry about competing for your time. We work together from the start to make sure everything flows naturally — and your day stays about you, not us.

What If You Regret Not Having It?

That’s the real heart of the question, right?

I’ve never had a couple tell me they regret getting a wedding video.
But I’ve had plenty reach out and say they wish they had.

So if you’re even a little unsure, reach out. I’ll answer anything honestly — no pressure, no hard sell. Just a real conversation about what this could look like for you.
