videos...on the other hand, are useless. no one wants to sit there and watch your "home videos" for 3 hours. your dvd of your wedding will collect dust, much like you current dvd collection. unless you are planning to do this:

also, video guys usually get in the way of photographers. so, i recommend that you not get both, and just go with a photographer. |
Depends on how you have it set up. My wife's other cousin was the videographer and he setup the tripod in a place where he could get everything, and not be in the photographer's way. It was pre-determined. Also, the video was only taken of the ceremony. The photographer took pictures of the ceremony and then a photo session between the ceremony and reception.
However, the video of your wedding will indeed collect dust. I believe we watched it shortly after our wedding, and for our 1st and maybe 2nd anniversaries. I haven't seen it since, my wife may have watched it one other time since then.
