Life moves so fast that is hard to recall distinct emotions at exact moments, or kind words that a good friend said verbatim. So, it comes at no surprise then that your wedding can flash by in an instant. This is why it is so important to have a great videographer at your wedding, and Suburban Video will not disappoint…
Why would you suggest to a bride and groom that they should hire a videographer in addition to, or instead of, a photographer?
I would never recommend a videographer instead of a photographer. Photography and videography are two of the most important parts of your wedding. Your wedding is a once in a lifetime experience, and after your special day is over, all you have to remember it by, is your wedding video and photographs.
An hour after your wedding you won’t remember what the best man or maid of honor said during their speech or the look you gave your new husband/wife during your vows. You will only have this moment once…you will never be here again. When we are finished with your wedding video it will dance, laugh, smile and cry.

Truth be told, I wasn’t going to do video – I only wanted a photographer. I felt if you have a great photographer, then you don’t have to worry about missing any aspect of your day. Because I had expressed remote interest in video, I searched the internet and found companies whose work I liked. The work that resonated with me was from Martin Andrews of Blue Sky Films. Aimee set up an appointment to see if this was something I wanted to pursue.
Meeting Martin was great; he was really easy to talk to and I left with a package of information and a demo reel to review. I let my parents know that I had taken an appointment with Blue Sky and that while I was still thinking about video, I probably wouldn’t have one. I never realized that something as a (seemingly) insignificant choice of not wanting a videographer would affect my parents (pardon me, parent) as much as it did.
Fabulous Wedding Video by humanstory films
I love a good videographer. Good videographers know how to blend in. They don’t “interview” your guests. They don’t shine bright lights in a way that makes you feel like you’re a performer on a stage. They produce videos that are edited perfectly — capturing the emotion of the day and the spirit of the party. They are, well, good at what they do.
humanstory films is one such good — no, great — videography team. Videographer William Gaff recently sent me this clip of a wedding video, and all I can say is WOW. It instantly brightened my day.
Here’s a little background from William….
Jamilah and Wissam celebrated their recent wedding day at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Georgetown area. They held a small private ceremony with their families and then, they had all of their friends and extended family join them for the reception at the hotel’s Corcoran Ballroom.
It was a beautiful event, but what really stood out to me was how close and devoted Jamilah’s and Wissam’s families are. There is nothing they wouldnt do fo each other. To them, family means everything. It was really a great event to be a part of.
A little warning — turn your volume down if you don’t want the sound to be played!
