Client Education: Why You Should Hire A Videographer For Your Elopement
If I already have a photographer, do I really need a videographer too?
The whole point of an elopement is to have a small intimate event. Why add another person? I’m going to let you in on a little secret... you need a videographer and I will tell you why.

Video not only captures emotions in the moment through movement and sound but also introduces a whole new dimension to preserving your memories. While photos freeze emotions through facial expressions, videos transport you back to the moment with live sounds and recordings from your day. This allows for tears during your vows, hearty laughs while reminiscing, subtle smiles, winks exchanged with your partner, and more to be recorded in real-time, capturing even the smallest details in a meaningful way.
Your Elopement Video Is Something to Hold onto Forever
Your elopement is one of the most incredible moments that you will want to etch in your memory for eternity. As you age with your partner, you'll re-experience every emotion. Through your elopement video, you can revisit your first look, remember how nervous you were during your vows, and ride off into the sunset together once more. It's a way to transport yourself back to that special day. You can return to the exact place you selected for your magical day. Each time you watch the video, you will find yourself back in the emotions of that day. These memories will be treasured forever, to be shared with your children and grandchildren, all while celebrating and remembering the love that started it all.
Your Elopement Video Can be Shared With Everyone
If you are considering eloping, you have opted for a profoundly intimate setting to exchange your vows. By choosing to marry with only a few loved ones present, whether you inform them beforehand or spring a surprise later, your friends and family will be eager to hear all the details about your special day! What better way to share these intimate moments than by presenting them with a film that captures every moment in real-time? Instead of recounting your story repeatedly, you can let them experience it as if they were right there with you. Through a film, they can delve deeper into your elopement and feel all the emotions that were present on that day.
Don’t get me wrong…
…photography has always been my first love, but I will never not recommend videography. It is the absolute most perfect way to remember your special day. Imaging it... ten years from now, you walk into an empty theater just you and your partner, and all of a sudden the video from your elopement starts to play on the big screen.
Now that I’ve given you an amazing idea for your ten year anniversary, I would love to talk about how we can incorporate videography into your day.
