I asked my good friend, photographer Anna Laska to write a guest blog about Why Hiring a joint Film and Photo Team for your Scottish Wedding, may be a good idea.
Hey Friends! My name is Anna Laska, I am a wedding photographer and I wanted to talk to you about why you should consider booking a film/photo team
Imagine that you’re sitting on your couch a year after your wedding, flipping through a beautifully curated album of still photographs. Each picture brings back all the emotion. But something feels missing. You long to hear the laughter, the soft whisper, and the sound of your best friend's toast that made everyone tear up.
That’s where wedding videography comes in. While wedding photography captures frozen moments in time, videography preserves the movement, sound and emotions of the day.
Together, they create a complete story. One that allows you to relive your wedding in its entirety, not just in fragments.
The best of both worlds
Many couples think whether they should prioritise photography or videography but, the reality is, both serve different but equally important purposes.
Here’s why you shouldn’t have to choose:
Photography captures emotion in a single frame - Freezes your first look, your teary-eyed parents, and the energy of the dance floor in timeless images. Videography captures the essence of the moment - The nervous excitement in your partner’s voice, the way your dress moves as you twirl, and the unfiltered joy of your guests.
They complement each other - A good wedding video lets you relive the entire day, while stunning photos become keepsakes that you can display in your home, share online or gift to loved ones.
If your budget allows, investing in both ensures that every special moment is preserved in multiple ways.
A wedding day is full of special moments. When the photography and videography team work well together, they capture the day smoothly and tell a beautiful story.
Here’s how hiring a film/photo team benefits you:
When you hire a photography and videography team from the same company or two professionals who often work together, they make sure your wedding photos and videos look alike. This means similar colours, angles and overall feel, creating a smooth and beautiful story.
A team that knows how to work together won’t compete for the best angles or interrupt each other’s shots.They’ll have a well planned approach to covering key moments without stepping on each other’s toes. They work well together, making sure every special moment is captured.
Top Tip from myself:
Choose a team that understands your vision.When searching for professionals, request to see full wedding galleries and videos not highlight reels.This helps you see how well they can capture your whole wedding story. Also, read reviews to make sure they’re easy to work with and adaptable to different wedding settings.
Common Question about hiring a photo & video team
Can’t my photography just take some video clips?
While other photographers and myself can provide short video clips, we can't match the skill, storytelling, and editing genius of a full-time videographer like Austin
Is it worth paying extra for both?
Absolutely! While photos can be framed, only video can capture the raw emotions and sounds of your wedding day.
Should I book the team together or separately?
Booking a package that includes both photography and videography typically ensures better coordination and a cohesive aesthetic. Plus, if you book myself and Austin as team, you will save £££ !!
