Whether you opt for video, photography or another method to preserve the memories from your special day, it can help you hold on to the feelings of love, support and excitement that accompany it.

Photographer

While quality photographic equipment is becoming more widely available, it may not be such a good idea to ask your wannabe-photographer cousin to take the photos of your wedding with their SLR camera.

A camera takes great pictures just like a kitchen makes delicious food. You need an expert operator to get great results.

Shopping carefully for a professional photographer can be one of the best decisions you make. Theyll not only be able to get spectacular images from your big day, but theyll also add an air of professionalism and sophistication to your event by following proper etiquette.

Videographer

Video is a powerful option for preserving your wedding memories, as it affords you the opportunity to watch yourself walk down the aisle over and over again.

A professional videographer can set up multiple cameras to capture your wedding and reception from every angle, even in crisp HD format.

Be ready to shell out a big portion of your wedding budget for this option, though. Quality video technicians dont come cheap.

Wedding Journal

From the day of your engagement to the day of your wedding and even for years to come a wedding journal is a great way to record your thoughts and emotions related to your marriage.

Initially you can use it to jot down ideas for the wedding and reception while also writing about your happiness, excitement and expectations for married life. Writing in a journal can also serve as a type of release from the stress of planning a wedding.

Disposable Cameras

Want a fun way to capture memories and make your guests a part of the story? Consider using disposable cameras. They are an affordable option for capturing your wedding through the eyes of your guests.

Lay two or three cameras on each table and let your friends and family members play photographer for a night. They are likely to offer you snapshots into the parts of the party that you werent able to see for yourself, supplementing the traditional images from your professional photographer.
