37 FramesEloping in Japan is amazing. What an incredible place for a destination elopement and intimate wedding. You might want to think about a wedding video or film for your beautiful day.
You’ve chosen Japan for a reason. And want to showcase this beautiful union and spirit of place for yourselves, future generations and for all those back home. A Wedding Videographer in Japan should be a consideration.
Investing in beautiful photography is the one thing that we encourage all our wedding couples to never skimp on. This is your investment in yourselves and the recording of your history. You don’t want photography that’s put in a box and stored under the bed forever. You want your images to be you. Authentically you. Images that are ready to become a part of your home, your life and (as all our grandparents are totally on the same page) a part of our family’s home as well. The art we fill our lives with should be everything you want it to be and more. And something that beautifully reflects your story. And the start of it all. So quality, real photography is something that we advocate enormously when it comes to budgeting for your day.
So why a Wedding Videographer in Japan? Photography tells our stories in still frames. Ethereal and beautiful or fun and full of joy. But what about words? If you’ve heard Dee speak about elopements, she breaks down the 37 Frames Elopement concept into “Stunning location, beautiful imagery and heartfelt, meaningful words”.
“Stunning location, beautiful imagery and heartfelt, meaningful words”
“Stunning location, beautiful imagery and heartfelt, meaningful words”. This is the core philosophy that 37 Frames was founded upon and this belief is at the heart of everything we still do today.
With words being such an important part of our 37 Frames elopements, it’s only natural that video and the recording of vows and commitments is something that many couples consider. And with elopements being such an intimate celebration, video can also let other friends and family share in the day.
Here are 5 reasons to consider video for your destination elopement or intimate wedding in Japan.
Your words are everything.
Keeping with the theme of heartfelt, meaningful words… having this moment recorded, in real time is something that can never be replicated. Exchanging vows, recording the intensity of your commitment, the emotion of the day and your intimate words spoken and chronicled, is definitely something that many couples prioritize. Reason 1 for a Wedding Videographer in Japan.
Sharing your celebration
An elopement will mean that it’s either just the two of you. Or a small number of close family and friends. But wanting to share your day with your extended network is only natural. Sharing vows online is too personal from some, so many couples opt for a Video teaser or trailer, designed for sharing on social media (without vows). A highlight reel of your day. Designed to showcase you and the place you chose to marry. If wanting to share more than still images, a teaser video is something that many couples consider. Reason 2 for a Wedding Videographer in Japan.
A keepsake for your future family/ Something to Have for Many Years to Come.
Imagine if you could watch your great great grandmother’s wedding, how amazing would that be??!! With modern technology your wedding or elopement in Japan can be viewed for generations to come. What an incredible way for future generations to feel a part of this particular moment in your family history. Or perhaps to feel more connected to family ancestry. If sentiment and family history is important, this is another reason many couples consider wedding videography. And seeing parents or gandparents get married in Japan! Well, that’s just beyond value.
(Can I just add a personal story here. My father is currently researching our family ancestry. He’s unearthed an incredible multitude of amazing births, deaths and marriages. And he’s discovered a treasure trove of wedding photos from family in the 1800’s. I treasure these images. A record of the UK, weddings and fashion in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. This is why I understand photography to be a priority on your day. Our history is so incredibly important.
But if there’s one thing I wish, it’s that I had just some sort of snippet of video to see these family members from 100 years ago or more. To try to feel them and reconnect with them on a different level to the (wonderful) still photos my dad has uncovered. To see them move, smile, laugh and cry.
It might just be me. But I feel like wedding video is actually a gift for future generations even more than for the couples themselves in a way!) Reason 3 for a Wedding Videographer in Japan.
Capturing spirit of place
You’ve chosen to elope in Japan. There’s perhaps a depth of feeling in that choice that might not be able to be conveyed in images. But showcasing Japan, it’s feeling and power, might be easier to reveal in a film or wedding video. Remembering the concept of “Stunning location, beautiful imagery and heartfelt, meaningful words”, then capturing sense of place in video is definitely something that many couples should consider. Reason 4 for a Wedding Videographer in Japan.
No regrets
Nothing is as expensive as regret. The investment you make in video might seem like a big investment right now. But it absolutely won’t feel that way afterwards. You won’t want to get to the day after your wedding or the year after, or even 10 years later and wish you would have hired a wedding videographer for your beautiful destination wedding or elopement in Japan! Your investment now will be worth so much more to you in the future. We guarantee it. Reason 5 for a Wedding Videographer in Japan.
Of course, we know that it’s not in every couple’s budget to be able to include both photography and video. And if it absolutely has to be one or the other, we’d always advocate for an investment in stunning photography. But for those that are working on priorities and have time to work on budgets with their planner for their elopement or wedding in Japan, hopefully these 5 ideas about video will give you something to think on.
