Why You Should Hire a Photographer Who Also Does Video
When you're planning your wedding, one of the biggest decisions you'll make is choosing who will capture it all. For most couples, that means booking both a photographer and a videographer — but what if you could work with someone who offers both services under one roof?
As a wedding professional who specializes in both photography and videography, I’ve seen how this approach can completely transform the experience — from planning through delivery.
Here’s why booking a photographer who also does video might be the best decision you make for your wedding day.
1. A Seamless Story from Start to Finish
When one creative team handles both your photos and your film, the result is a beautifully cohesive visual story. The tones, editing style, pacing, and emotional moments all flow together — which means your gallery and highlight film feel connected.
Your wedding story deserves consistency — not just in quality, but in heart.
2. Less Stress During Planning
Hiring one vendor for both photo and video means:
One point of contact
One shared timeline
One consistent vision
Instead of juggling two separate contracts, meetings, and styles, you’ll get a simplified experience from start to finish — and a team that already knows how to work together.
3. A Smoother Wedding Day
Your wedding day moves fast — the last thing you want is two separate crews competing for your time and attention. When I handle both, everything is timed and shot intentionally to serve both formats, without interrupting the flow of your day.
I know when to step back for a candid moment that works for film and photo
I’m not competing with another team for angles or timeline space
My second shooter (when included) is trained to support both seamlessly
4. Consistent Style & Experience
Every photographer and videographer has their own editing style, energy, and approach — and sometimes, mixing two totally different teams can feel disjointed. When you work with one creative lead for both, you know exactly what you're getting: a consistent, storytelling-driven style that reflects who you are.
5. More Value, Less Hassle
Bundling photography and video through one vendor can often provide more coverage and better value than hiring two separate premium vendors. My packages are designed to give you what you need — without the stress, markup, or guesswork.
Why My Couples Love the Combined Experience
“Do not chose any other photographer/videographer! Spencer is your guy. He was responsive, extremely personable and professional. He was a BLAST and so much fun at our wedding, all our guests loved him….Honestly and truly an amazing guy! He worked with my budget and I’m so glad we chose him.
Positive
Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value”
