The Biggest Wedding Regret: Not Booking a Videographer

Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. While photos capture stunning still images, they can’t capture everything—your vows, the sound of your loved ones’ voices, the movement of your first dance, or the raw emotion of your spouse seeing you for the first time.

Many brides who choose not to book a wedding videographer find themselves regretting it later. In fact, a survey conducted by WeddingWire found that 98% of couples who didn’t hire a videographer regretted their decision, while nearly 90% of couples who did hire one said it was worth the investment.

Why Wedding Video Matters

1. Capturing Sound and Emotion

Your wedding vows, the heartfelt speeches, and the cheers of your guests—these are sounds you’ll want to relive. A wedding video captures the laughter, happy tears, and meaningful words that bring your special day to life.

2. Reliving the Moments You Missed

Weddings go by in the blink of an eye, and as a bride, you can’t be everywhere at once. Video allows you to see moments you may have missed—like your partner’s nervous excitement before the ceremony or guests’ reactions throughout the day.

3. The Magic of Motion

A wedding film captures the flow of your day in a way that photos simply can’t. Your first dance, your veil blowing in the wind, the way you and your partner look at each other—these moments come to life with video.

4. A Timeless Keepsake

As the years pass, your wedding video becomes a treasured heirloom. It allows you to share your day with future generations, letting your children and grandchildren witness the love story that started it all.

5. Sharing With Loved Ones Who Couldn’t Attend

Not everyone may be able to make it to your wedding, whether due to distance, health, or other reasons. A wedding video ensures they can still experience the magic of your day.

Don’t Be a Bride Who Regrets It

When asked about their biggest wedding regrets, many brides say not booking a videographer is at the top of their list. Unlike flowers, cake, or decorations, a wedding video lasts forever—allowing you to step back into the emotions and memories anytime you want.

If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, consider this: You’ll never regret having a wedding video, but you might regret not having one. Here's what one of my clients had to say about her experience: "As I was planning my wedding I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend money on a video, but with my results I’m so glad I did! They were such an amazing crew to work with and were amazing! Totally flexible and was so much fun to bounce off ideas to! If you are wondering if you should spend the money…DO IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!!" - Briah Reyes | Bride
