…especially now that we have a super-awesome videographer…eh, hmm, I mean cinematographer. We kinda sorta may have about tripled what we had budgeted for this super-awesome cinematographer, but I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am about having him at our wedding! This is another area that initially Mr. B and I were in major disagreement on. He didn’t think we really even needed a videographer to begin with, so you can imagine his shock and resistance when I told him the one that I was in love with was triple what we had budgeted. It took some convincing, let me tell you…but he slowly started to come around when I showed him how awesome it would be to have a video like the one below to show our friends and family at our at-home reception:

That was shot at our gorgeous ceremony venue, by the way! Aaaaah! I get all giddy all over again every time I see it! When I first started planning the wedding, I didn’t know much about wedding videography. It’s just not something you see that many people utilize back where I’m from. I was originally hooked on the idea after discovering this awesome piece:

If you remember, we were originally planning a tropical beach wedding. I was sooo going to do a sweet trash-the-dress shoot like that video. I tossed around the idea of doing something similar in Colorado, but unfortunately I’m not allowed to stretch the budget by another penny in that area, and there’s no way time would allow for it based on the hours we have our cinematographer booked for. *sigh* Oh well, I’m still super excited about having such a talented video producer nonetheless.

Are you having video shot at your wedding? Was your FI all for it, or did it take some convincing? Any fave wedding videos that you’d like to share?
