Today, let’s talk about wedding media. Did you know that still photography and videography are two completely different medias? As a photojournalistic photographer, I’m often asked, “Can you also take video?” Unfortunately, the answer is no. But fear not, let me educate you about the differences between the two. Being an informed purchaser for your wedding is key!
When it comes to the timeless debate of photo vs. video, yes, they are both capturing the magic of your wedding day. So, it makes sense that couples think we can do both. Your photographer creates gorgeous artistic still images, freezing moments in time, while your videographer immerses you in the sights and sounds of the day, capturing the motion and emotion of your day.
Finding a dream team that collaborates seamlessly is crucial. Your photographer and videographer work side by side capturing crucial wedding moments simultaneously. They should work well together and complement each other’s work, ensuring a harmonious blend of visuals and storytelling. Take the time to peruse each vendor’s portfolio and envision yourself in their work. Does it resonate with the way you want to remember your big day? Also ask if they have a preferred photographer or videographer they like to work with. Vendors referrals are a great resource for finding vendors for all parts of your wedding day!
Remember, choose professionals whose style speaks to your heart, ensuring your wedding memories are a true reflection of your unique journey. #didyouknow #WeddingMediaMagic #CapturingMoments #PhotoVsVideo #ChooseYourStyle
