Should I use Wedding Wire?
Wedding Wire is a popular online platform that offers tools and resources for wedding planning, including vendor listings, reviews, and planning tools. While many couples have found it helpful in their wedding planning journey, there are some potential downsides to using the platform that you may want to consider before deciding to use it.
One concern is that some vendors on Wedding Wire have been known to pay for fake positive reviews, which can be misleading for couples looking for reliable feedback. Additionally, Wedding Wire has faced criticism in the past for its advertising practices, with some vendors alleging that the company prioritizes vendors who pay for premium listings over those who don't.
Another potential drawback of using Wedding Wire is that it may limit your options when it comes to finding vendors. While the platform has a large number of vendors listed, it may not include all of the options available in your area.
Ultimately, whether or not you decide to use Wedding Wire is a personal choice. It's important to do your research and read reviews from multiple sources to get a well-rounded sense of a vendor's reputation. You may also want to consider reaching out to vendors directly to ask for references or to schedule a consultation to get a better sense of their services and pricing.

This was one of the more unique bookings we’ve had in a while. We often tell couples to book a 6 months to a year in advance. Sanjay booked us a week before his wedding and I'm so glad we could make it happen. What an epic event this was. The Skylark is stunning and so was everything about this couple. It was refreshing to pull myself out of my typical New Jersey wedding photography mind set and embrace my inner New Yorker.
Wedding Location:
The Skylark, NYC
Set 30 stories above Times Square, The Skylark is Manhattan's cocktail lounge with indoor and outdoor options. Learn more.

Robin's Review
Amazing to work with! Beautiful pictures, and just wonderful on the day! Captured everything and was very nice and supportive the entire time. I am notoriously self conscious, but felt completely at ease and the shots came out perfect! (A little late on the review, but I was looking at the pictures again, and it felt like it needed to be said!)

Why Should I Hire a Professional Wedding Videographer?
Videography is expensive. You’re not wrong and there’s nothing wrong with being on a budget and thinking you’ll pass on a videographer for your wedding day. I often hear, “I’ve been on the fence about video but I feel like I’ll regret it if I don’t” and you probably will.
Video is one of those things that you don’t always see its value until long after when the memory has faded. Video is something you watch and gives a deeper perspective on the day. Pictures don’t have the audio of your personal vows and don’t truly show the motion of just how twirly that dress was.
“Who’s going to watch that?”

Audio
A professional wedding videographer captures clean audio. The videographer will hide a lav mic on the groom and have special white microphones for the bride that can clip to a garter around the her leg. The videographer will also mic the officiant or set up a recorder off of the pa system. They’ll hide backups at the podium when aunt Susy forgets to do her reading into the mic. They’ll capture clear audio of the audience roaring to see bride and groom enter the reception and they’ll grab a feed directly off the DJs speakers or board to capture every moment of the events audio in clear, crisp, and vivid detail.
Throwing up a camera and using camera audio may get a gist of what they are saying but likely you’ll get muffled audio you cant make out.
The certain things photos cannot not save and that’s audio. If you want to look back on your speeches and remember what was said a professional wedding videographer is going to record that for you.
Its all about the angles.
A professional wedding videographer will have multiple cameras some times 3-4 of them. weddings are wild. Here is a scenario...
You can’t always control uncle bill. The unplugged ceremony is just a suggestion to the man. He’s going to whip out that front facing camera and go full on tunnel vision trying to maneuver his phone, physically flipping it around because it’s a video of his face and the damn thing is just too complicated. (He misses when phones were simple) While he is doing that he backs up and centers his head in the only video camera forming a perfect composition of the bald spot he is been doing his best to hide.
Most wedding videographers will have at least 2 camera ops. So in the event uncle bill backs up into the lead videographer and takes him out, there is still another manned camera triumphantly capturing the first kiss.
“Ill probably never watch it “
A professional wedding video needs a professional wedding video editor. So if you will watch it, comes down to what’s going to be important to you 5-10-15 years later? It might be different for different people. Some might value a brief highlight video. Some might want to sit back and listen to their fathers toast or relive those written vows. Be aware that video edits can vary greatly so think what it is that would be best for you.

Sara's Review
My partner and I highly recommend Timeline Visuals for your event. The owner, Danny, responded quickly to our initial and subsequent messages. He had us laughing and was great with our dog during our engagement shoot. It was great to have a photographer with his skill set and a plus that he had worked with LGBTQIA+ couples prior. We love our engagement photos and feel excited and confident about the pictures he’ll be doing for our wedding! 10/10 would recommend - Sara J.
