Here at Drangan Video we are busy preparing for a return to wedding videography in Tipperary, Kilkenny, Waterford, Carlow and many other counties, over the past six weeks we have been assisting our couples with moving their weddings to alternative dates later this year.
We are often asked the question ” should we have a wedding video ” our answer is yes you should an obvious answer from any videographer after all we are not going to turn way business!! on a serous note we have set out a number of reasons in this weeks blog post, outlining the main reasons for having your special day recorded on video.

Why hire a wedding videographer
Many couples struggle with the idea of having a wedding video, they see it as an unnecessary cost here at Drangan Video we speak to couples who didn’t have a videographer on their big day, many say it’s one of their greatest mistakes
Wedding photographers are brilliant at capturing special moments from your wedding day, there are certain things they can’t capture for instance audio and movement Hiring a professional videographer will ensure that you will get all pictures and sound bites from your big day included in one memorable wedding film that you will treasure for ever.

Wedding videos are not like the old days
Some couples think that wedding videography means bright lights huge cameras in your face all day. Today’s wedding videographers adapt a more documentary easygoing style of filming, meaning you might not even notice them at all during the day, here at Drangan Video one of our favourite compliemenyts is “We didn’t see you all day”
Video captures audio and movement
The greatest reason why you should consider hiring a wedding videographer, video captures magical audible moments such as your mom’s words of advice as she helps with putting on the wedding dress, your Dad’s reaction to seeing you in your outfit for the first time, or the fun and laughter during the morning preps. These are the moments that you’ll relive everytime you look at your video long after your wedding day, there’s also no better way to document your vow exchange. Video will also capture those important moments from the wedding reception, such as toasts and songs and not forgetting the first dance.
Video captures the non set up moments
Your photographer will get all those sometimes boring set up posed shots, but for everything for else you will need a professional discreet videographer. And since there’s no posing, you won’t have to worry about been embarrassed or looking or awkward on video, just enjoy the fun and celebrations into the late hours
Wedding videos are not long dull epic films
Gone are the days that a wedding video plays out as a boring 3 hour slideshow, your videographer will capture all the emotion and fun from the full day and deliver as a short engaging three to five-minute highlights film. Same day edits are popular in wedding videography, meaning your videographer will capture the best moments from the morning preps up to and including moments from the ceremony that be viewed at the reception, short highlight films are also shared on Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo and Youtube
