Hi Everyone,
My fiance and I are getting married in Mauritius in May this year - just the two of us, no guests. We've hired a great photographer, so we know we'll have lots of lovely photos to keep, and to show friends and family back home. Up to this point we hadn't considered having a video of the wedding. However, I keep reading that not having a video is the top regret of lots of married couples, and it's making me wonder whether we should have one done.
As quite shy and self-conscious people, we can just about cope with a photographer, but I'm not sure how we would feel about having a videographer there too, especially when it will be so concentrated on just the two of us (no guests to film). I also worry that having an extra person there would spoil the intimate, romantic feel of our day, which is one of the main reasons we are getting married in this way. Having no guests also means that there is probably less to film, and I'm not sure how many times we would watch the video. I know my friends and family would probably enjoy the video, but to be honest I would be happy just showing them our lovely photos, so that won't really influence my decision.
Having said all this, our photographer's company could offer videography within our budget and their videos look very nice, so I'm just wary of turning it down and then living to regret it!
Does anyone have any advice? It would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
