Here are 8 Common Myths About Wedding Videos
When you’re planning your wedding, you’ll hear plenty of opinions about what you must have and what you can skip. One of the most debated? Hiring a wedding videographer.
As a Devon wedding videographer, I’ve heard every myth in the book – from “you only watch it once” to “it’s just a luxury extra.” The truth is, modern cinematic wedding films are nothing like the stiff, outdated videos from decades ago. They’re emotional, artistic, and tell the full story of your day in a way photos alone never can.
If you’ve been wondering whether a wedding video in Devon is worth it, I’ve put together a full guide busting the 8 biggest myths about wedding videography. From cost and music quality to how discreet we can be on the day, I’ll show you why couples who invest in a wedding film never regret it.
1. “Wedding videos are boring – you only watch them once.”
Not anymore! A modern Devon wedding film is beautifully shot, professionally edited, and tells the story of your day like a movie. Our couples watch theirs over and over again – it’s the perfect way to relive the emotions, laughter, and magic.
2. “Wedding videographers only film the ceremony.”
As a professional wedding videographer in Devon, I capture your entire day: from morning preparations and guests arriving, to your vows, speeches, and dancing the night away. Your wedding story deserves the full treatment.
3. “The music is always low quality.”
We use licensed, high-quality music from premium audio libraries to give your wedding video a professional cinematic feel. Your film will sound as good as it looks – and you can safely share it on social media.
4. “You don’t really need a wedding videographer.”
True – but most couples who skip it regret it later. A Devon wedding video lets you re-live the moments you missed and share them with family and friends who couldn’t attend.
5. “Wedding photographers and videographers can’t work together.”
Experienced professionals know how to work as a team. At Devon Wedding Films, we collaborate seamlessly with photographers so both photos and film are captured perfectly without getting in each other’s way.
6. “Wedding videos are overpriced.”
Behind the scenes, a wedding videographer spends days planning, 10+ hours filming on the day, and often a full week editing to create multiple cinematic films. When you consider the expertise, time, and equipment involved, a professional wedding film is an incredible value.
7. “Wedding video is just a luxury extra.”
Think of it as an investment in your memories. Your wedding day will fly by – you won’t see or remember everything. A cinematic wedding film lets you experience it all again, exactly as it happened.
8. “Wedding videography isn’t discreet.”
We use small, high-quality cameras and minimal gear so we can blend into the background. Most guests barely notice we’re filming – but they’ll love watching the finished film.
