Videographer and It's YOUR Day

Is that the correct spelling?

Videographer.... It LOOKS correct, but my spell check doesn't like it.

Anyway, the guy who does videos at the wedding.

This has become a super hot new trend in the wedding world, and rightly so!

Video adds a whole another dimension to the wedding experience and lets you truely capture the day so you may cherish the memories forever.

Wedding videographers can run anywhere from your cousin doing it for free up words of thousands of dollars. I was fortunate enough to have a friend of the family volunteer to do it FO FREE and I am eternally grateful to this person!

I know for a fact that my cousin who was married in Hawaii got video of her wedding taken and it's absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to have my wedding photos along with my memories of a wedding video to cherish for ever and share with my children :D

The only reason why I bring this up today in a post is because my father and I got into an argument about it today. I called and ask if the friend of the family was going to be doing the videos just be sure and he said no. So I panicked. I frantically started searching for a videographer online that we could afford and came across a very nice gentleman in the St. Louis area who used to be a photojournalist for the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

But then my father called me back and informed me that the friend of the family was still on board for doing it and I regretfully had to call the man back and cancel my appointment I had made for tomorrow. Apparently he had thought that since I didn't want to use him for our wedding photos that I didn't want him to do the videos either, which is totally not true.

This is where I get into the second part of my title, it's YOUR day.

I had found a photographer online who I LOVED. I loved her style in all her photos and Nick loved her too. I just couldn't see my photos being done by anyone but her. My family wanted me to go with our friend of the family, but I had already had my mind set on this photographer and I didn't care what I had to do to get her. I would work extra shifts to pay for her, whatever, I wanted her.

This might have been my first "bridezilla" moment of the whole wedding process, but I know what I wanted and I stuck to my guns. A wedding is truely the first steps a woman takes on her own and kind of standing up to her parents. Parents have their vision in their head of how they thing their child's wedding will be and often that is not the case.

I personally am in love with our photographer and I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding. I do not regret my decisions at all, just the turmoil it caused my family that I didn't want to go along with what they wanted.

Here's a link to our blog post from the photographer and a link to her website!

Over and out!
