I didn’t get it when I had heard time and time again from friends and family that their only regret was that they didn’t have a videographer. Why I wondered?

Despite all hesitations and trepidation, my fiance and I succumbed to the requests of our family and looked into it. We decided on what we didn’t want. Corny background music, narration/intervie...

Not Hiring a Videographer?
I know I didn't. To this day, I'm not sure if I'm going to regret it or not but in retrospect, I think it would've been nice. I'm sure I wouldn't be watching it over and over and it probably would be collecting dust like my quince VHS.Whether you're not sure if you want or maybe it's a budget deal, Mike, from StoryMix Media can help! They send you a flip cam, you assign someone to video the most important parts and they edit it for you. This is what one of our couples in March did and they were completely pleased with the results. Here's the teaser (short version)...

Beware of the Roving Videographer
It’s always a good idea to be aware of the videographer’s whereabouts. He's usually easy to spot because his camera will probably have a bright spotlight glaring at or near you. If you see or sense a bright light heading your way put a smile on your face or begin talking to the person next to you to show the bride and groom that you are enjoying yourself. People almost never look good eating on camera so that’s why I didn’t suggest that you begin eating.Remember, you don’t want to be the one person caught on the final wedding video with a look of disgust, horror or just a rather unp...
