Should You Get a Wedding Videographer? Absolutely!
One of the most common things I hear from couples after their wedding is, “I wish we had hired a videographer.” While many couples initially consider skipping videography to save on costs, those who choose to invest in a wedding film never regret it. If it fits within your budget, go for it—you’ll be so glad you did! But don’t just take my word for it—hear from couples who made the decision and can’t imagine their wedding without it.
What Couples Are Saying About Their Wedding Video
💍 Star & Brian – Nonantum Resort, Kennebunkport, ME
“When initially planning our wedding, the videographer was something that I thought we could do without in an effort to cut costs. DO NOT SKIP THE VIDEOGRAPHER. If we hadn’t gotten a wedding film, I would have seriously regretted it forever, especially after being lucky enough to hire someone as talented as Nick. If you do two things for your wedding, they should be: 1. hire a videographer, and 2. hire Nick Eaton.”
💍 Shailey & Graham – Omni Mount Washington Resort
“Like many others, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding. A couple of months before the big day, we decided to explore adding video, afraid we’d regret not capturing different moments. We went with Nick at Life in Focus and could not have been happier with our decision. We couldn’t believe we even questioned it after seeing our videos—even my husband, who was still unsure until our wedding day!”
“When Will I Even Watch My Wedding Video?”
That’s a question many couples ask before deciding on videography—but the answer is more than you think! At Life in Focus, we provide a 1-minute teaser trailer and a 3-7 minute highlight reel, making it easy to relive your best moments anytime. Plus, these short films are perfect for sharing on Instagram or with friends and family who couldn’t be there in person.
Speaking of sharing—if a loved one couldn’t make it to your wedding, your feature film (20-30 minutes) allows them to experience the day as if they were right there with you. Whether it’s a grandparent who couldn’t travel or a best friend who was overseas, your video ensures that no one misses out on your special day.
Your Wedding Film is a Gift That Keeps Giving
Just last summer, I ran into a couple whose wedding I filmed the previous year. Todd, the groom, told me that Susan, the bride, still watches their wedding video every month—and every time, she cries happy tears! Unlike the old days of long, dusty VHS tapes sitting on a shelf, today’s wedding films are cinematic, emotional, and timeless, ranging from a short teaser to a full-length feature.
Your Day Flies By, But Your Wedding Film Lets You Relive It
Your wedding day will be a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, and unforgettable moments. But as much as you’ll try to take it all in, you can’t be everywhere at once—that’s where your videographer comes in. Your mother’s proud smile as you dance with your new spouse, your grandfather’s laugh when your best man cracks a joke—these small but meaningful moments are ones you’ll cherish forever.
Most importantly, you’ll be able to hear your vows again. That’s something truly worth remembering.
I won’t tell you why you should hire me specifically—I’ll let my films do the talking. Check out my work and see for yourself why a wedding video is one of the best investments you can make in your big day!
