May I humble suggest that you reconsider?I don't even own a videocamera, and a videographer was never on my budget. I didn't even think the video was that big of a deal. After all, we get photos, right? Today, which is exactly 2 months after my wedding, we received our wedding video, and watching it tonight has been so beautiful and touching... I now know I would have really missed out on a special keepsake.I am lucky that my husband's stepdad happens to own a videocamera, and just a few days before the wedding agreed to tape our wedding. It is *nothing professional at all* but he did have a tripod. There's no jittering but also no following the action, either. Still, it's AMAZING because it's actual footage of our wedding!So a word of unsolicited advice, if like me, a videographer is just not on your budget. Ask around, spread the word, and maybe a relative or friend will bring their video camera to your wedding! It will be the best wedding gift anyone could give you!
