Instead of asking Uncle Earl to capture your event’s memories on camera, it’s usually best to hire a pro. You spend many months and lots of money planning your party, so you should have a keepsake to enjoy long after the last guest leaves. Here are a few events that could be even better when you hire a videographer!
You can use videographers for numerous types of events, from corporate events and trade shows to weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs. At all these events you personally can’t capture everything that happens that day or weekend; that’s where the videographer comes into play.
Weddings
Many brides will tell you that their wedding day was a blur! After months of planning and organizing every detail, many a bride hardly recalls half of the ceremony and reception because of how caught up they were in the moment. Having a video of the entire day – pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, up until the last person leaves the reception – will be a unique treasure for you to watch and see how beautiful your big day really was. In fact, some videography companies will also offer photography services, and vice versa. Finding a company that combines both services can save you money rather than booking both separately.
Corporate Events
For trade shows, corporate events and seminars, you can utilize a videographer in various ways. Use the video to show your co-workers what they missed at the expo or to assess the success of the event. Many companies use videos to market their annual conference or expo for the next year. Organizations will often show clips and highlights from the previous year’s convention to entice others to attend the following year.
Birthdays and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs
If you’d rather spend your time enjoying the party you’re throwing for a kiddo or loved one, hiring a videographer is the way to go. They can capture the little moments that you may miss and weave them into a beautiful story on video that you can watch over and over. Birthdays go by too fast, so it’s great to have evidence of your special day! And this footage will come in handy down the road for other events like weddings or anniversaries.
