Why investing in Videography is Essential
Picture this: you’ve decided to plan the adventurous, intimate wedding of your dreams and celebrate your new marriage with an elopement. Check! You’ve decided on your location, bought your gorgeous dress/suit, and dreamed up all the details. Check, Check! Maybe you’ve even already booked an elopement photographer. You’ve heard of couples booking video for their weddings but figure it’s not necessary for your intimate event. You have an amazing elopement day and love your gallery of edited photos… but you can’t help but feel like something is missing. Your photos are beautiful, but you don’t have an all-encompassing re-telling of your day. You regret not going for video because you only get married ONCE. You think to yourself… maybe I should have listened when my gut told me to book an elopement videographer.
If FOMO alone isn’t a good enough reason for investing in an elopement film for your special day…here are 4 reasons you NEED to book an elopement videographer:
1. It’s the perfect anniversary tradition: elopement video movie night!
Though you may not be thinking ahead to future wedding anniversaries just yet, let me tell you now that having an elopement video to watch every year is the PERFECT way to celebrate and remember your first day of forever. Making sure you book an elopement videographer is the best way to ensure you have an easy, cute, tear-inducing, gushy-mushy anniversary tradition to last the ages.
2. You get to HEAR your marriage vows, the sound of the ocean, and your laughter.
When it comes to remembering your elopement day, being able to access as many senses as possible is KEY to holding onto those priceless memories forever. Having the audio from your marriage vows and getting to watch yourselves profess your love for one another is an incredible memory to cherish.
3. Seeing all the in-between moments captured by your elopement videographer.
When you book me as your elopement videographer, you book a storyteller who is committed to capturing every moment, big and small! When I create your elopement video, I focus on providing a chronological and detailed re-telling of your wedding day.
4. It’s the PERFECT way to include friends and family in your day without having them physically there. I like to call it: the epic elopement postcard.
For some couples, one of the hardest parts about deciding to elope is deciding how many (if any) guests will be present to witness your commitment to each other. Sometimes, deciding not to invite anyone can come with some negative feelings like guilt or anxiety. Booking an elopement videographer is an excellent way to make your loved ones feel included in your elopement day without having to invite them to join! Once you have your film, you can share the link to all your loved ones so they know they didn’t miss a thing!
Some couples choose to read letters from loved ones and (if you want) we can even film you reading them in your epic elopement location. Just ask me!
Curious how an elopement video tells your story differently than a photo gallery?
Here is an example of a couple who booked both their elopement videography and photography with me at Lilli Productions. Kara and Jon booked my photo & video package and LOVED the full scope time capsule of their first day of forever.
