Strill hire a photographer when everyone has a camera right? Same for videos eh? |
Definately. Although I'm far from a professional (hey, they get paid by definition), I feel *my* wedding video was a cut above the normal "mate's attempt". I actually asked to borrow some DV material from some other people's cams. It was never used. The difference? It's my hobby into which I've invested a LOT of time and effort.
If you had a friend as an amatateur photographer, you *may* consider getting him to do it on the cheap. But get someone that takes holiday snaps with a minolta to cover your wedding, you may as well kiss your memories goodbye.
