We had one, but only because it was offered by our friend.

If you have to pay for it then I would say don't bother, but my h2b is a film student so his friend is doing it all for us as a wedding present, but if he wasn't then I wouldn't have one. They can cost £500+ and I would look at photos more than watch the video! xx

i think if we had the money to do it we would, i might see if someone can video the cermony :-)

i really want one. i think theres gunna b so much going off around u, u wont beable to take it all in. it wud b so nice to watch things back like people arriving coz as a bride u dont get to c that part. also i wud like to watch the speeches n the ceremony again. photos are a def yes but u cant always remember what people said etc. im def hopeing we can afford 1, wud love to watch it bac every year on anniversary n great thing for kiddies to watch xx

Personally, am definitely going for a videographer for my wedding, it's something you can look back on for many times to come and remember a wonderful day and all the special moments, there's so much going on on the day that there'll be things you miss or forget, so if you have it on video, you can watch it back and remember and it'll be something to show any kids and even grandkids further down the line :-) xxx

One thing that some videographers do is record messages from some of the wedding party (i.e. bridesmaids etc.) to send best wishes for the future, which is a really nice touch to have included in it xxx

Im not having one... they are alot of money... plus we have been to weddings where the videographers machine cut out through the speeches. plus i don't want to look back and think why did we do that and judge things... but that is just me

We are having one.
I have a slightly odd reason behind it. I lost my dad when I was 19, we have no home videos, answer machine messages or voicemails. I have no way of ever hearing his voice again or hearing him say he loves me.
And I swore I wouldn't leave our son the same legacy, at least this way if something happens to me or H2B, our little one can see us smiling and happy and laughing whenever he wants :)

We're not getting a videographer. Both of us hate the thought of being filmed (I HATE my voice on tape, I literally cannot listen to it, it doesn't sound like 'me'), and we just would not watch it, ever, or want anyone else to watch it. So, we've splurged on photography instead, as we LOVE photographs, and will get a lot of pleasure out of them, so they're worth every penny we're spending.

I am looking at getting one from the local college. To me it doesnt need to be anything fancy. I just want the ceremony filmed, the speeches filmed, toasts, Cake cutting & first dance h2b doesnt dance, we have been together just over 6 years and we have never danced with eachother! I want our only dance on film! He promised me one dance and i want to be able to look back on that one and only dance when im 3005 years old in me rocking chair on me porch as a little old biddy! LOL

We didn't have one. We had the option when we booked the photography package but we weighed up the pros and cons and decided that realistically how many times it would be watched afterwards it seemed a waste of time and money.

Our photos have everything we needed and we can look at them a lot more than we'd have watched a DVD (and I've found people are more inclined to look at your wedding pics rather than sit and watch a whole DVD lol).

Not my thing at all
So nope

Originally I really wanted one but we haven't got the budget for it. But the more I think about it, the more I'm unsure. I don't like my voice on tape and I wouldn't want to watch it back and cringe! Lol! Personally I think photos are more important because I imagine I'll look at the photos all the time but I don't know how often I'd watch the video.

i'm the same i can't decide if i want one or not ? my h2b isn't bothered but i think it would be nice to watch it and be able to see the wedding after! i have something special planned for the first dance so wud luv that to be filmed !! but it so expensive £950 is the cheapest i've been quoted was thinking of asking my lil bro to film it but not sure :-/ ?

We are having photography and videography, I know it costs a bit. But it's keeping memories for years. X

We are having one because well we want to be able to see it whenever we want to and also on the day we will be really busy and will inevitably miss some things but the video won't, like all the crazy dance moves for starters lol xx
