Wedding Videographer Tip: Don’t Skimp On Hiring Your Second Shooter!
Why do you need more than one videographer?
The decision to hire two wedding videographers might seem excessive and costly, but there are many reasons why it can be worth the investment.
With two cameras capturing every angle and moment of your wedding ceremony and reception, you'll be able to relive every detail in perfect clarity for years to come. Having two wedding cinematographers capturing a simultaneous moment can assure that every detail will be captured with precision. It also adds to the emotion and continuity of the sequence in seamless movement.
Choosing the best wedding videographer.
When looking and deciding on a second wedding videographer it is important to make sure they have experience working with weddings and that their work is original and not just copied from other popular videos online or on tv. Remember this moment will be captured forever so choosing a professional level company rather than going through someone who’s a hobbyist would definitely mean better results both financially as well as quality-wise.

The more wedding videographers you have, the less likely something will be missed.
Two wedding videographers are never enough, even three might seem like overkill, but trust us having two cinematographers could also and possibly mean missed shots of some crucial parts of your event because there is so much happening at any given time. Wedding videography is one of the most important services on your wedding day because this will be a reminder to you and your spouse of what happened each time you watch it for years to come. Having more than one or two wedding cinematographers capturing your big day is never a bad idea. Like the old proverb goes, “Two heads are better than one.”
Captures more angles and shots for a complete picture.
Another advantage of having a second shooter is the ability to capture more angles, coverage, and shots. Wedding days are known for being long and exhausting so this alone may not seem like anything special but it gives us options during editing! Instead of trying to decide between one shot or another, we can use both in your edit because we know they were caught at different times on two separate cameras! A two-wedding videographer team allows us to film in multiple places at once so that we don't miss out on anything! Imagine this, the bride walks up the aisle while the groom stands and waits by the alter. At this very moment, the groom sheds a tear and weeps over to his gorgeous bride, while she walks fondly towards him. Thus, let's be clear, one camera alone would not be able to capture both their facial expressions and that element of emotion that comes with it. Having two cameras would indeed capture this moment instantly and with emphasis on detail. Wedding videographers are trained to focus on the small details that wedding photographers often miss. Thus having at least two wedding videographers present to capture your wedding ceremony is an absolute must.
A great investment for life that is cherished.
Wedding prices may vary depending on how long wedding day coverage lasts, but on average the cost of a Toronto wedding videography package starts at around $2500 - which is very reasonable considering everything included with the package. Wedding videography has become a very popular service due to couples wanting every moment captured in high-quality photos and video. We highly recommend you think twice about your wedding videography budget. Instead of splurging on other unnecessary materials, perhaps consider investing in an area that will relive forever, such as your precious wedding video. Remember this, your wedding video will appreciate and not depreciate. If you are still on the fence about having a wedding videographer, consider other budget-friendly wedding video packages such as our Micro Wedding Package as a starting point?
You'll never miss out on the important moments again.
One key advantage of having a second videographer at your wedding is of course the inevitable. Think about it, should anything go wrong during the wedding ceremony or reception you'll have the other videographer there to cover the tracks. Heck, you may never know that something actually went wrong! It's like having to pay for Applecare knowing full well should anything goes wrong then you will be taken care of. It truly is peace of mind!
