Why you should hire a videographer in Sarasota, FL…
You have heard the phrase a picture is worth a thousand words right? Well, can you imagine what video clips of your BEST DAY EVER would be “worth”? Our team at Complete Weddings + Events Sarasota is here to help you that age-old question, why you should hire a videographer in Sarasota, FL? I mean why do you need a wedding videographer if you have already hired a photographer? Well, that’s a great question!
You spend months, maybe years on planning everything for your wedding day. When the day arrives, before you know it, it’s over. When you look back on your day, photography only allows you to relive the images taken, while video provides you the full experience of the moments captured. It allows you to hear that funny toast one more time, or hear your Dad’s speech, or listen to your first dance song as you watch your first moments of married life. Video delivers those memories in a way that can’t be relived in photos alone.
Now, who to hire and trust with capturing all of these special moments…
There are also so many special moments that occur during your day that happen while you’re not around. From your spouse getting ready to the special messages from your family and friends attending, these are moments that are special keepsakes of your day, and sometimes they may be the last time you have on video moments and messages from family or friends. Here are a few things to consider when hiring your videographer…
- Check and see what their portfolio looks like and make sure it’s a great fit for you. If they have done wedding videos at your venue, that’s a plus.
- Type of the package that you’re receiving. Wedding videos can vary a lot in style and in length. Check and see if maybe it is a Cinematic Style 10-minute video or an hour-long video, and choose a package that is the right fit for you.
- Check and see how long their post-production is going to take for your video and how they are going to deliver.
Now that we have talked about how to pick your Videographer let’s talk about the end product. Your Video.
Here are a few of the different styles of videography available:
- Cinematic Style – is a storytelling video. It is one of the most popular styles of wedding videography. It is captured in short clips and edited with a mix of music and audio to present the story of your wedding day. Most are around 6 to 12 minutes long. Here is an example of a Cinematic Style Video:

These moments are then edited into a full wedding video. Most are 30 to 45 minutes long. Here is an example of a Documentary Style Video:
