Suppose a friend told you they had in one hand a book of professional photos of the day your grandparents were married, and in their other hand a professionally-produced video of that same day, in full color, with actual sound, but that you could only choose one to view and keep as a family heirloom. Which would you choose?

Only video will allow everyone to relive your wedding day as it actually happened -- to see you walk down the aisle, to hear your voices as you exchange vows and rings, to hear and see the toasts, the music, your first dance at the reception...and the chance to preserve the complete story of your wedding. Because your wedding day goes by so quickly, capturing all of the activities, your ceremony and reception, on video will mean your wedding will be preserved for you and your family now, and most importantly...for all the generations ahead.

Luckily, you don't have to choose! Videography, by no means, can replace photography and vice versa. Just like you wouldn't choose your cake in place of dinner! They go hand in hand and compliment one another in their own way. So, please, have your cake and eat it too! Just make sure it's on video...
