7 Practical Reasons to Hire a Wedding Videographer in Sydney (Even on a Budget)
Would you prefer to relive your wedding day through pictures only? Flipping through albums and trying to recall what was happening and being said at that moment?
Or would you like to actually hear the laughter, see the walk down the aisle, witness your vows again? Videography gives you another experience entirely, one that is incomparable to anything else.
It’s true, a wedding videographer in Sydney doesn’t come cheap but over everything else that you can budget yourself on, this should definitely make the list of the things you MUST have. And there are always cost friendly options of wedding video services and or if you just want to have the wedding highlights. It’s the most special day and to have it captured so beautifully so that you can see it again is something you’ll cherish.
Sometimes, couples decide that their friends can capture videos, or they are content with people making videos on their mobile phones. Trust me, it is nowhere near the real deal which is so much more professional. For one, the videos are never stable, the hand movements and flipping makes it difficult to watch. The sound quality is also terrible and makes you wonder was my day really like that?
Perfect Moment Photo and Video is a terrific option, one that is cost effective and gives a high quality videography experience. Here are the reasons why professional wedding videography and wedding film editing is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make for your wedding. DO NOT skip out on it.
1. It Can Be Surprisingly Budget Friendly
When someone hears videography, they automatically think “oh no, the bill is going to go through the roof” but that isn’t necessarily so. There are many affordable options to choose from, one that suits you, allowing you to find the ideal package.
If you are having a small ceremony or if you are eloping and need a short coverage, wedding cinematography will not cost that much especially if you get a package deal. At Perfect Moment photography and videography, there are various budget friendly wedding video packages and they are quite open about their pricing. In fact, they know how important the day is for the bride and even tailor some details to give the bride what she needs, especially if she is looking to save. Same goes for the groom of course! For instance, you can decide what instances need coverage such as the vows or the reception or if you even want to cut out speeches, it’s all your choice!
It’s all about being smart and knowing what you need. You don’t have to make a video that starts from you getting dressed (but if you want to, that is fine as well). You should know that there are always ways to cut costs and get something beautiful within your budget and Perfect Moment helps you do that. The team is very involved in the process and is very approachable to customizing their packages to fulfill your requirements.
2. You’ll Have The Vows, Speeches And Emotions Behind Them
In photographs, you can’t hear the depth in the words of your partner or the emotional glance during your vows or your first dance. There is absolutely no substitute for your wedding video. Even apart from the bride and groom, the wedding consists of family and friends and such lovely moments that not capturing any of it will be a great loss.
The videos from our parents’ or grandparents’ time are very different from what you can expect today. That is fun to watch as well but for different reasons and that type of video is not made anymore. Don’t fret, there are many who might have chosen not to have a videographer at their wedding thinking that their parents’ video was awful, theirs would be embarrassing too. But the way we capture videos has become very different and you should explore portfolios to see that there is nothing embarrassing. It’s only the love and beauty of the couple and the fun of the day that you get to see at the end. And we all know that the camera gear has gotten so advanced and our team at Perfect Moment photography knows exactly how to shoot at the right angles and make lovely moments even lovelier.
They are once-in-a-lifetime sounds that you’ll want close to your heart. You might want to hear the toast of the best man or the maid of honour and not having the opportunity or having a video made from a mobile where you can’t hear anything, and the quality isn’t good enough won’t do. Perfect Moment also has a more candid approach that usually teams don’t and we focus more on natural expressions, giggles and heartfelt words to shine through. It is less stressful for the couple and having staged moments becomes difficult to act out. It is best to let the couple engage in their natural way and habitat of love and to let us capture that on film for their memories.
3. You Can’t Redo The Day Later So Have No Regrets
A study shows that 50% of couples who are about to wed, don’t consider hiring a wedding videographer among their top priorities. To be honest, I still don’t understand why couples skip out on videography of all things to save money. They definitely regret it afterward but in this age and era and with the knowledge of how videos differ from photography, maybe videography is the first thing that you should decide on when you have a wedding date set.
It is THAT cardinal. Brides often think of their dresses and maybe the flowers that they will want and although those things are paramount as well, videography is what makes you relive that day. And you don’t want to miss out on that, do you?
See the wedding video highlights of your friends or there are so many portfolios available over the internet, it shouldn’t be a hassle getting to see the videos of various couples on their wedding day. Anyone who has had a wedding video made will tell you that it is the most special thing you can get out of your wedding day – other than being married and all the gifts of course! You cannot redo the day later again and choose to have videography this time and having only pictures to commemorate it by is not enough.
And another thing, EVERYONE wants to show off their wedding video, especially to those who were unable to attend. It’s like reliving the day again when you see it with your spouse or your family and friends. There’s so much to talk about and often you get to express those emotions and when you see yourself smiling over something, you get to share the details with your spouse and new information comes out! Perfect Moment Photography comes up with a final film that you will love to send to your friends and family or even share snippets of it on your social media for your followers. It becomes a family keepsake, one also for the generations that will follow.
4. It’s Easier To Share Your Wedding With Loved Ones, Near Or Far
The globe has become so small in terms of the fact that loved ones are spread all over the world if not all over the continent. At times, one can’t get out of work or if a sibling misses a flight or if someone falls ill. There are so many reasons why that uncle or that sister could not make it to the wedding. And the simple fact is, you wanted them there. You wanted to share the special day with them, to show them that your partner and you were incredibly, deliriously happy that day.
And there is a way to do that, just in case they missed it. And you know what it is – make a video of your special day! And it is even easier to share it with them now. The file will be yours forever and you can send it to them on any platform, in any method or forum that you’d like. Perfect Moment Photography has easily shareable digital files that you can send immediately. They can watch it and then call you later and the entire discussion can start, from that uncle who came in the yellow suit to who caught the wedding bouquet! And if you have a destination wedding, all the more reason to have the entire thing shot in candid for the world to see.
For couples with family overseas, the need for a videographer becomes even more compelling. Not only would they want to cherish the moments but they’d like to share it with their families too. If you are active on social media such as TikTok, Instagram or Facebook, you can share a few clips on that too for your personal keepsake or for your friends and family who did not make it. If you’re not comfortable sharing content on social media, you can try platforms such as Kululu and WedUploader. This inclusivity can mean the world to them. And that will mean the world to you.
5. Customised Coverage For Traditional, Indian Or Intimate Ceremonies
We are aware that western weddings and traditional Indian weddings are very different. Western weddings are a single ceremony and the reception is held the same day. Indian weddings are, as they say, an entire marathon. And we have a lot of experience in that marathon.
Indian weddings have multiple days of celebrations such as the sangeet, the mehndi, the barat and the multiple dholkis that are held prior to all the major functions. And all the days are important and hold such fun and fabulous moments where the bride and groom look exceptional each day. Just because there are many events does not mean that the value of any day becomes less. And we understand how hard it might be to juggle all the details of each affair – save yourself the time and book a single videographer for all the days. We have a lot of experience in Indian weddings and we also get acquainted with the family after a single event so it is quite easy to make videos of all the special moments as well as be comfortable with the couple. Otherwise, it is quite tough to create a rapport with a different photographer for each day. And don’t worry about the cost, pricing at Perfect Moment Photography is tailored to events and needs and there are special packages with discounts if there are multiple days involved.
Even 1-4 hours of coverage is enough to give a beautiful wedding and you’ll be surprised at how within the budget that might be. For the brides who want a more intimate experience and want their engagement or even elopement captured, we understand the requirements and price it accordingly. So don’t think that there is one price for all. I think that is what scares couples the most. Get out there and discover your favourite videographer in Sydney and see that it is not all that pricey as you might have thought – especially Perfect Moment.
6. Professional Quality Beats DIY (Do It Yourself) And Saves The Stress
Why on earth would you ever want to make a video of your own wedding yourself? For one, how will you star in the video in which you actually are the star? And how can you trust your friends and family to do the job who will truthfully want to enjoy and participate or attend the event rather than be responsible for capturing moments? And they won’t even do a good job of it – mobile phones do not do the justice that actual camera gear and a professional can.
There are already so many stresses of a wedding day. To get to the venue on time, have your suit pressed and ready, the makeup and hairdo, the flowers, the setting, the DJ. There are just too many details and so much effort behind everything. When you can delegate a very important thing to a professional and save yourself the added stress – why not? Hiring a professional means that you will have proper and reliable equipment, stable footage and the audio will be clear. You won’t have numerous mobile videos put together with barely audible sounds and shaky videos. And sometimes it will be vertical and sometimes in landscape mode, very difficult to make one proper video out of that frame!
And don’t forget the lighting. The lighting is so important to get the couple’s faces and their dress as well, especially if they’ve chosen a dim setting in the evening for their event. Perfect Moment Photography is a pro at handling lighting too. What’s more, we have backup gear so that there are no technical faults because we know precisely how important it all is for the bride. And the groom too – we keep forgetting him because we know the bride is the actual star of the day, as should be.
So come on, don’t add more to your plate and especially on your wedding day. Hire a professional and save yourself the stress and get exceptional memories saved to boot.
7. Seamless Coordination With Other Vendors
Your wedding videographer is not the only one you will be hiring for your big day. There is the flower guy, the DJ, venue staff and even the wedding planner. You need a wedding videographer that not only works in harmony with the entire entourage but also one that has seamless coordination with them too.
Everyone’s work is important and to recognize that means that things will occur more smoothly and no one is getting in anyone’s way. Perfect moment photography understands that and does its best to coordinate well with the vendors so that there are no missed moments and the bride is not worried about anything other than looking beautiful and enjoying her wedding. We also don’t bring any attention to ourselves and try capturing everything subtly. That’s the way the best moments are captured too, without the other person knowing that the camera is on them!
Perfect Moment Photography’s team is very vested in your interests and participates in planning enthusiastically. Do not worry or think that you are being a hassle or a problem. You are a bride (or the groom, gosh I did it again didn’t I?) and you are the most important person. If you want to talk about how we will capture the flowers for your day, go ahead and talk about it. We encourage it. Instead of panicking at the last minute or introducing new items, it is best to be prepared and know what to expect. We do our job better that way. It can reduce unexpected costs and reduce stress – we want your day to be perfect for you.
Make Your Day Last A Lifetime, Without Breaking The Bank!
The bottom line is, do not miss out on this amazing opportunity to make a video of your wedding day so that you can see it again and reminisce and also save it to share the love with your grandchildren one day. Memories are so crucial and you can save them without taking a deep dig into your pockets because we know how expensive weddings can be. Which is why we reinforce again that you can always tailor your needs and enter a budget-friendly package.
