Wedding Videos vs. Photos: What Each Captures Best

Photos and video both preserve your wedding, but they do so in very different ways. Understanding their unique strengths can help you make the most of both.

Photos: Capturing the Timeless Still

Photos are iconic. They capture expressions, small details, and artistic compositions in a single frame. A great photo can live on your wall, in an album, or be shared instantly online. Portraits, styled shots, and candid moments become snapshots of emotion—frozen in time.

Video: Bringing Moments to Life

Video captures what photos can't: motion, sound, and emotion unfolding in real time. You can hear the vows, see the reactions, and feel the energy of the celebration. From your walk down the aisle to speeches, dancing, and laughter—video immerses you in the experience.

Why You Need Both

Photos are perfect for still memories. Video is ideal for emotion and energy. Together, they create a complete and rich retelling of your day. Don't think of one as a replacement for the other—they work hand in hand to preserve everything you felt and experienced.

Let your story be told in every frame and every frame per second.
