but most will love a quickie two to five minute edit. Ask your videographer to create a condensed version and make DVD copies for your close friends and families.  Cap off your reception by screening moments from your ceremony―captured by your photographer/videographer.

Hire your photographer for a limited time— ceremony only—rather than for the whole day; You dont know until you ask!
