Why a Wedding Film?
Posted on 14. Apr, 2007 by Ryan Welch in Behind the Scenes, Resources
It’s been almost 6 years since my wife and I got married. And while I have many memories that will never leave me, most of the day seems such a blur. We did not spend the money to get a professional videographer to capture our day.
We had members of the family randomly using a video camera to capture events here and there, but it didn’t work out so well. At one point, my dad was holding the camera, aimed at the crowd, while he was giving the toast. As much as we laugh about that moment caught on tape, we regret not hiring someone to capture the moments of that special day.
I began filming weddings shortly after we got married and realized that we’d made a mistake in not getting ours filmed. I wanted to make sure others had the opportunity to get their once in a lifetime days captured on film.
My two-year-old son Cade loves watching old home videos. His favorite is “daddy boy” (as he calls it) which consists of old Super-8 films taken of me up until the age of 4 or 5. How cool would it be for him to be able to watch a DVD of his mom and dad getting married?
Our goal is to not only provide couples with with the most creative, thoughtful wedding films around, but also to give them a piece of history they can pass down for generations to come.
