When it comes to choosing a wedding videographer, you have a variety of options to consider. On one hand, there are larger wedding production houses that offer a more commercialized approach to wedding videography. On the other hand, there are boutique wedding filmmakers who offer a more personalized and artistic approach. So which is better? Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of each option.
Wedding Production House
Pros:
Wide range of services: Wedding production houses typically offer a range of services, including videography, photography, gowns, make-up artist and event planning. This can be convenient for couples who want to have all their wedding needs taken care of in one place.
Experience: Larger production houses often have a team of experienced professionals who have worked on many weddings. This can be reassuring for couples who want to ensure their videographer has a proven track record.
Resources: Production houses often have a larger budget and more resources at their disposal, which can be beneficial in terms of equipment and post-production capabilities.
Cons:
Commercialized approach: While wedding production houses may have a lot of experience, they may also have a more commercialized approach to videography. This means that the final product may be more cookie-cutter and less personalized.
Higher costs: Because production houses offer a wide range of services and have a larger team, they tend to be more expensive than boutique wedding filmmakers.
Boutique Wedding Filmmaker
Pros:
Personalized approach: Boutique wedding filmmakers often have a more personalized and artistic approach to videography. This means that the final product will be more unique and tailored to the couple's vision.
More affordable: Because boutique wedding filmmakers typically have a smaller team and focus solely on videography, they tend to be more affordable than production houses.
Attention to detail: Boutique filmmakers often have a strong attention to detail and are willing to go the extra mile to capture all the special moments of the wedding day.
Cons:
Limited services: Boutique filmmakers typically only offer videography services, so couples may need to look elsewhere for photography or event planning.
Smaller team: Because boutique filmmakers have a smaller team, they may not have the same resources or equipment as larger production houses.
Limited booking slots: As boutique filmmakers may be smaller in team size, they may have fewer booking slots available compared to production houses.
Ultimately, the decision of whether to go with a wedding production house or a boutique wedding filmmaker comes down to your personal preferences and budget. If you want a more personalized and artistic approach, a boutique wedding filmmaker may be the better option. However, if you want a wider range of services that have a lot of other services under a roof, a wedding production house may be the way to go.
