Writer Claire Muir almost didn’t get a wedding film – but then she had a last-minute change of heart. She explains why it was one of the best Dec is ions she made.
Wow. Fresh from watching the three-minute video highlights clip from my wedding day (with my hubby and a big glass of Prosecco, of course), I have butterflies. Big time. I fully realise that this is going to sound like I’m on commission for a videographer or 10, but I’m honestly not. I’m just a recent bride who almost didn’t get a wedding film.
THE NUMBERS GAME
Let’s rewind. The conversation went like this: “Venue: tick. Photographer: tick. Hair and makeup: tick. Filmmaker... hmmm, not really essential, is it? Let’s think about it and maybe, if the budget stretches, we’ll do it.”
This isn’t an unusual chat for an engaged couple to have. Although wedding films have been around for years – and technology has improved significantly – a lot of people still view a wedding film as a luxury; something to add on if there’s money to spare at the end.
