stephen really didnt believe in getting a videographer. so much so that i basically went to meet and sign the contract on my own. i know it was a bit sneaky but i was really afraid of regretting not getting one to capture the day. we had prioritized photos first but photos dont talk. they dont have sound. and if sound can give another dimension to the memories of the day then im all for it. even cleaning out my dads place and watching the old vhs's that we have made me nostalgic and though a lot of people say they wont even watch their wedding video again, i hope to revisit it every once in a while. just to remind me.
i had contacted (again) many videographers just to compare prices. the thing about wedding vendors is that they never disclose their prices online so you actually have to email them and then get that information. i was looking for more bang for the buck. there were some that i really liked that had a lot of style, was great at telling a story. but they can get so expensive, just like everything else wedding related. some even included super 8 clips. i didnt want my entire wedding to be filmed in super 8, i much preferred the crystal clear imagery of HD.
it basically came down to two people for me. one sounded like he had done many weddings at mountain terrace. his style was a bit more oldfashioned and he often put music to the videos that ive never even heard of. he also did a lot of blurring, or i dont know what the effect is called but the video was blurry on purpose. i didnt really like that. it looked like 80s film to me. the other had videod a few of my friends' weddings. eventually i went with the familiar just because i could trust him. to tell you the truth i dont even remember him at either of my friends weddings but i like that. he calls his style journalistic which means hes there to capture everything but not intrude.
im excited to have him document our wedding!
