To Video or Not

Do we video our wedding ceremony and/or reception? Our biggest issue with video is how we hate the way we look on video. It's because we think it strange to watch ourselves or others back on video in our so-called natural habitats and thus making it very unlikely we'll ever watch it more than once and the one time we watch would be out of curiosity. The bottom line is that we do not want nor need video of ourselves, we prefer photographs.

Stepping away from what we want but what may be nice for others, especially those who are important to us and cannot attend the ceremony in Hawaii or the reception in New Jersey. Those who cannot attend our Hawaiian ceremony would be our dads, my grandparents, a lot of cousins, etc. More will be able to attend the reception but there are still key family members that will be missing. So what should we do? Do we hire someone to just take raw footage (because we can edit it ourselves, our way) or should we enlist family, who may already be planning to video, to help us out or just skip the video all together?

Don't you just love the wedding dilemmas that keep popping up?
