Why Do Couples End Up Spending More Money Than Anticipated?So, why do couples end up spending more than anticipated? The answer is easy! You get what you pay for! And when it comes to your wedding you want to make sure you do everything right. A good wedding videographer will make sure every single moment is filmed in which you can revisit whenever you like. More importantly the day goes by so incredibly fast and you’re going to want to be able to see all the moments you may have missed.
Why Hire A Wedding Videography Company AND a Photography company?Another mistake Long Island wedding couples often make is getting roped into a photography and videography package. The reason why most photography companies offer wedding videography packages is to make more money. As a wedding videography business we understand that you must make money but if you’re going to provide such an intricate service just to make more money than you better make sure you can deliver! Unfortunately a lot of these photography companies can not, we should know as we’ve re-edited their videos time and time again.
There is a reason why people hire a photography company and a wedding videography company separately. Wedding videographers are the best at what they do and wedding photographers are the best at what they do. When it comes to your wedding day, you’re going to want experienced professionals that know exactly what they’re doing and you’re going to want them to deliver a professional product that you can brag about and show your friends.

Will We Regret Not Getting a Videographer? Ask The Brides Of The Knot…
"I was really worried that I might regret not having a videographer—not only to capture my fiancé and me, but mostly our family members. I know it's kind of morbid, but I know they won't be around forever and I wanted to capture their voices and mannerisms." —rmfriedman
"While we're very pleased with our photographer, I'm now starting to have second thoughts about not having a videographer. I guess there's nothing like having a video to capture the details, people's faces/expressions, our vows—things that I might miss during the day as a busy bride and that don't necessarily get captured in even the best quality photos." —caramels03
"DO IT!!!!! I promise you will not regret spending the money. You may not think you want to relive every minute, but after the day you have been meticulously planning for months flies by in what feels like seconds, you will be desperate for a way to remember it!" —rachaelj99
"I just got married in June, and we had both a photographer and a videographer. I am so, so, so thankful that we ended up going with the video. It was something we almost cut to save money, but it was so worth it! When we got the pictures back, there were many guests and moments that were missed—and thankfully were caught by the video. I hate being filmed, but I never even noticed him throughout the day." —megc2
"You can replay the most special moments in your life if you have a videographer." —susannalvovsky
"Our videography was some of the best money we ever spent. It's true that [your wedding] goes by so fast, and you do see things you didn't notice when you see the video. Absolutely zero regrets. Our reasoning was that if we're going to spend so much money on one day, don't you want to be able to relive it through video? Plus, we can show it to our kids." —ExpatPumpkin
"I regret not having one. I thought that I'd never watch it and I'd have my pictures, but there's a lot of your wedding that, as the bride, you don't get to see. For example, I wish I could see what was going on inside my ceremony tent before I got there. I wish I could see my bridesmaids walk in. The whole thing went by so fast—I'd kill to have more memories of it." —starrbuk13
"I'm definitely planning on hiring a videographer. I want to be able to see fiancé's and my expressions when we say our vows. I want to be able to hear how we say them—and I just want to see everyone have a ball at our reception. And come 40 years from now when DVDs and Blu-Rays are old-school, I still want to be able to watch us on our big day." —jenandcris
"I did not think I would be so excited to watch our wedding video, but the day went by so quickly! I want to see our ceremony and cocktail hour, which I missed. Though I may only watch it a few times, I think it was worth the money." —foozzle
"I think that the video will capture things that the photos won't. I know it gets really expensive, but if you just want a documentary-style video (no love stories and all the extras), it will be much cheaper." —christikao
"We barely even considered hiring a videographer and were confident in the decision not to have one. But after the wedding, I really wish we'd had one. We really underestimated how much we would want to relive the day and see things we missed. Our photos are wonderful but video still captures something photos don't." —rel830
"I was anti-video, but I bit the bullet and got one anyway. We don't watch it very often, but I love having it there for me to watch. We had both the ceremony and reception filmed, and I love being able to see everything that I missed the night of my wedding." —emimayor
"I had my wedding last month and I regret not getting a videographer. I thought pictures would be enough and most people don't watch their videos anyway, but your wedding goes by so fast and you miss a lot of things. Plus, I feel like I was in a blissful daze for a lot of it and would love to have the important things captured in video. Pictures just don't capture everything." —JDechen
