Wedding Videography vs Photography: Why Film Matters
Photography captures moments. Videography captures emotion and movement.

Your vows - Hear the words you spoke, the emotion in your voice, and the tremble of nervousness
Reactions - See your partner's face during the ceremony, parents' tears, guests' laughter
Speeches - Preserve toasts, stories, and heartfelt words from family and friends
Music and ambiance - Experience your first dance, ceremony music, and venue atmosphere
Natural sound - Hear the ocean waves at Montage, garden birds at Rancho Las Lomas, or laughter echoing through Pelican Hill
"The photos were stunning—but the film brought back everything I felt." - Real One Story Weddings couple
