Well, are they? I know throughout the 90s EVERYONE had a videographer for their wedding. (I'm still being forced to watch my sister's when I visit her - and that was from 1990!)
At the time, one of the big selling points of booking a videographer was that with photos you could see your Aunt Dot or Uncle Bob. In videos you could watch them move and speak and dance. As a young newlywed it may not really matter - but down the road as these loved ones would pass on (and you became older), you could play back the tape (or DVD) and truly remember them.
I can honestly say that in the past 3 years of deejaying weddings, I have seen hide nor hair of any videographers plying their trade.
Are people just trying to cut costs?
Is it a locale thing? (Do they still have videographers in larger metropolitan areas?)
Have people with android phones taken over?
Have they just become extinct and unnecessary?
Over the years I worked with many who were great at what they did. It was their chance to be artistic. Leave behind a little piece of themselves in each "production."
I'd be curious to hear other readers' thoughts on this. Did you have a videographer? Why or why not? Are you planning on using a videographer?
