WHY HIRE A PHOTO/VIDEO TEAM FOR YOUR WEDDING?

Hiring a photo/video team to capture your wedding day is no doubt the best way to fully capture every moment of your day. Video captures everything that a photo cannot and vice versa. They compliment each other so well and we truly believe that both are necessary when it comes to documenting a wedding day!

A common thing that couples do is hire a photographer and videographer with two separate businesses. They then coordinate between the two of them regarding pre-wedding shoots and wedding day details. Often times the photographer and videographer have never met before and have completely different schedules. This makes it hard to find a day that both the photographer and videographer are available. WHAT A MESS!!!!

Well guess what?! We are here to tell you that there is a BETTER way to do things. Here it is: hire a photographer/videographer TEAM for your wedding day! In this blog post we will discuss 4 tried and true reasons why hiring a photo/video team is the BEST way to go when planning your wedding. Let’s get right into it!

1. A Team Knows How to Work Together

When you hire a photographer/videographer team (especially if they are husband and wife), they will know how to flow together. They will know the ins and outs of how the other person works. It will easy for them to communicate effectively if things aren’t going as planned. They will have similar shooting styles and know how to stay out of each others shots. They will have a pattern in place to ensure they can both get the shots that are needed to capture the important moments. No awkward conversations or contention between two vendors who are just meeting for the first time. No conflicting opinions on where each person gets to stand for the ceremony. Just FLOW. Overall, things will generally run smoother and faster if you have two people who work together often, rather than two people who just met on the job a few hours ago.

2. A Photo/Video Team Will Have Cohesive Editing Styles

Have you ever seen two different photographers edit the same image? Have you noticed that they can be completely different? Maybe one photographer leans more toward yellow-green grass and the other prefers a more blue-green tone. Maybe one photographer likes their whites to be truly white, while the other photographer likes to have a warm cast over the entire image. Neither are wrong… but both are different. The same thing applies to photos and videos. Your photographer may like to edit photos super warm but your videographer may want to implement some cooler tones in your video.

One of the things that make a photo/video team truly a TEAM is their editing styles. Because the team is growing a business together, it is important that ALL of their work reflects their brand. In order to do that, the photographer and videographer must have similar and cohesive editing styles. This means the colors, tones, and general vibe will be the same across your entire gallery and video. The similarities will create a flawless tangible memory of your day. After all, it would be a little strange to have the colors look completely different in your photos and videos of the exact same day, wouldn’t it?

3. Scheduling is Easy When Working With a Team

When booking two separate vendors for photography and videography, you will be dealing with scheduling differences when booking your pre-wedding shoots, and maybe even when trying to schedule your wedding date if you haven’t thought that far ahead yet! You will need to communicate with two separate people instead of an easy one and done scheduling experience. There will be back and forth, you will be the middle man. TRUST US, it will be hard to work with not only you and your fiance’s schedules, but also your photographer and videographers busy wedding season schedules.

A photo/video team will have the same schedule AND they will have easy communication with each other from the get-go. This means you get a quick and easy scheduling experience without the headache of communicating with a million different people. When you book with us, we send you a scheduling link so you can find the date that works best for you and then you can book it yourself! Easy, simple, and no back-and-forth conversations to try and coordinate a date that works for everyone.

4. Photo/Video Teams Will Save You Money!!!

When you book a photo/video team for your wedding, you will most likely be saving quite a bit of money. This is especially true for us since we are a married couple. Because we work together AND live together, travel fees are shared between us (one car, one hotel room, etc.). It is also common amongst photo/video teams to offer discounted rates when you book photo and video together! This is much more cost-effective than booking two entirely different vendors each with their own travel fees, add-ons, and sales tax for their area. Making it a one-stop shop will undoubtedly help you book all of your vendors without breaking the bank and your budget.

YOU GET THE PICTURE.

When the wedding is over, all you have left are the photos and the videos. You want to make sure those photos and videos will be everything you want them to be. Hiring a team is just one thing you can do to ensure those dreamy photos and videos you have always wanted can become your reality.
