Should I Pay More For Video or Photo For My Wedding?

In my years as a photographer and videographer, I think that this question rests on the minds of brides or event coordinators.

Because of this expectation, I definitely think that it needs some clarification.

Is a Wedding Video Worth it?

As I sat down editing the testimonials for our testimonials page, I listened intently to one of our past wedding cinema clients that we interviewed on her take on the choice of having a wedding film for their special day. This particular client is a high school teacher and because of that she speaks very eloquently in my opinion and as she worked through her process and why she was so very glad that she booked us for wedding video, I thought that it would make a great topic as I am sure that there are many people out there wondering that same question during their planning process:

So much change happening all at once, dealing with the details of the day, preparing myself mentally, physically, and spiritually for the covenant that was about to take place. But the minute that Amber started walking down that isle, everyone else was drowned out by her beauty. She was the most vibrant, saturated person on that patio at the TPC Valencia.
