Top 5 Virginia Wedding Videographers
Wedding videographers are pretty awesome! Taking the events of the day and packaging them into a beautiful wedding film takes talent and a whole lot of time! When we first started our wedding business we actually were both photographers and videographers. You could either hire us for one or the other and in the very beginning… both!
Those were exhausting days!
And let’s not even talk about the equipment we had to lug around! So much more equipment is needed as a videographer than a photographer. Around year 4 we decided not to offer wedding videos anymore. We realized we were not passionate about the videos as we were about creating beautiful portraits. So we made the decision and have not looked back since.
Having a passion for what you do is a game changer.
Since we love photographing weddings we were able to just focus on that and we watched our business take off unlike before when we were trying to wear both hats. Why waste time on something you don’t love?
This is where we come to the part in the post where we talk about these filmmakers that have a passion for wedding films and you can see it not only in their product but also the way they talk about it, interact with their clients, and more.
Our biggest piece of advice when looking for a wedding videographer or any vendor regarding your wedding…
Make sure they love what they do.
If they love what they do then they will give you their very best! I know some of our couples worry about the relationship between the photographer and the videographer. However, if you pick a good vendor team then every vendor should be a team player and work together to get their shot.
Below are the wedding videographers that we highly recommend. These are in no specific order and we know personally that each one would provide you with a beautiful film that you would be proud of.
