Why you NEED an Oregon Elopement Video

August 8, 2024

I’m going to kick off this post by sharing Chelsea and Sam’s Mt. Hood, Oregon Elopement Video – because there’s no better way to warm up into a good read than by watching a mini highlight film. Just to get you in the mood, you know? 😉

PS: this is just the mini film, you can watch their full 22+ minute highlight film here.

Now let me tell you WHY you need an Elopement Video:

Often times, couples book their elopement photographer and just say “eh we don’t need a video” and move on… well, I’m here to explain why you NEED an Oregon Elopement Video. (Or, you know, wherever you’re getting married. It’s doesn’t have to be Oregon – that just happens to be my specialty and where I live in Portland, OR!)

Photos are great. They are so important. I’m also an elopement photographer, so I get it. It’s a MUST. But I’d like to campaign to reframe the mindset that video is any less essential!

An Elopement Video adds a few things to your weddings time capsule that photography just can’t such as:

  • Hearing your vows back again, year after year. Forever!
  • Listening back to all the sounds from your day: laughter, jokes, birds, and all!
  • Love in motion: getting to see yourselves and your loved ones in motion.
  • Immersion. A film of your elopement day is going to bring you back like no photo could.

Some folks feel like a digital film is too *extra* and don’t feel like it fits their personality to have a 4K video of their elopement. Guess what? You can also get just a super8 video. Check out my blog post on Digital Vs. Super8 videography to find out what’s right for you!

Here’s Sam and Chelsea’s Elopement shot on Super8 film:

Long story short, no matter what kind of Oregon Elopement Video you book… you’re going to want to book a videographer. And guess what!? I happen to be an Oregon Wedding Videgrapher! I just hope I’m available on your date… contact me to find out!
