A couple years ago my dad had our home movies, which were on VHS tape, converted to DVD. As a little girl, I loved rewatching all the moments he captured on the extremely large 90’s camcorder he always seemed to have on his shoulder. Since he gave me the home videos on DVD for Christmas that year, my daughter also seems to like rewatching them just as much as I did. There were videos of me and my siblings playing in the kiddie pool at my grandmas, birthday celebrations, Christmas mornings, school events, and scattered moments from our everyday lives together.
Memories are the essence of our lives; they shape who we are and our perception of the world around us. Memories allow us to relive the joy, love, and happiness that we experience in our lives. As time passes memories tend to fade away but watching those old home movies, I always feel like I’m back in time. I start to remember other memories from the age I was, the people I see, or the house I was at in those videos and I’m so glad that I have that gift to be able to do so when I’m feeling nostalgic.
It was many years ago that I started to think about becoming a family videographer, but I think being given these videos helped solidify my decision. I wanted a business that at its heart was about family. I want to be able to capture the moments that matter most. Life is too short, and we often take for granted the precious moments that we share with our loved ones. Video allows us to capture these moments and preserve them forever.
Almost everyone has the technology in their hand to preserve their family’s memories through video, and I encourage you to do just that. Don’t just take pictures, record the whole essence of the moments in life that matter the most. In my opinion, family is the most important thing in our lives, and I want you to have those permanent memories to look back on. Here are my 5 reasons why you should hire a family videographer:
1. Creating a legacy
A Family Film is more than just a collection of memories. It’s part of your legacy to pass down to future generations, allowing them to see and hear from their loved ones from a time before they were here. It is a gift that keeps on giving.
2. Capturing the moments you might miss
How many times have you gone to grab your phone, only to get the camera open and that precious moment you wanted to capture is over. It’s easy to miss the little things that make a moment special. A professional family film captures all the details, from the expressions on your family members face to the sounds of laughter and conversation. You will be able to relive the moment and really feel all the feelings that were there in that moment.
3. Telling your family’s story
Every family has their own unique story to tell, and a professional Family Film can you help you do just that. A skilled videographer can work with you to create an outline to the day that will help you capture the essence of your family and what makes it so special. This is a very powerful way to share your family’s story with others.
4. Professional quality
While anyone can take a video on their phone, a family videographer will be able to take your video to the next level. Through the high quality of the filming and sound equipment together with professional editing software, your Family Film will be polished to perfection, and you’ll be proud to share it with your family and friends.
5. A lasting investment
Having a professional Family Film done by a family videographer is an investment that will last a lifetime. It’s something that can be revisited over and over again. Being able to relive that time in your life, the memory and the emotion of the moment is an investment.
