why do i
need video?

Here are five powerful reasons that wedding videography is a necessity for every wedding: 

1. You’ll Relive the Emotion, Not Just See It
Photos freeze a moment, but video lets you hear the vows, watch the reactions, and feel the energy. Laughter, tears, speeches, and dancing all come back to life in real time.

2.Moments You Missed Are Captured Forever
While you’re off taking portraits or mingling, your videographer is capturing candid moments between loved ones that you didn’t get to see—like Grandma’s smile or your college friends tearing up the dance floor.

3. Voices & Vows Live On
Hearing your own vows again—or the heartfelt words from your officiant or parents—is something a photo simply can’t deliver. Your wedding video becomes a time capsule of the most meaningful words spoken that day.

4. Professional Storytelling Makes It Cinematic
A professional wedding film isn’t just raw footage. It’s artfully edited with music, transitions, and narrative pacing that make your day feel like a movie, starring you.

5. Future Generations Can Experience It
Your wedding film isn’t just for now—it’s for your future children and grandchildren to watch, understand your love story, and see the people who were there to witness it.

STUDIO J STILLWATER

Our Summit Hill Studios and Studio J creative teams are both built on the same core standards: professionalism, great communication, and storytelling that feels true to your day. The difference is how the team is built and how customizable the experience is.

With Summit Hill Studios, you’re getting our premium creatives. That means a more experienced, highly specialized team, more pre-wedding planning and creative direction, and often more coverage options for bigger timelines and more complex days. It’s the most customized, hands-on approach we offer.

Studio J is Summit Hill Studios' sister-brand which is our streamlined, budget-friendly option.

You’ll still have a talented, reliable team, but the coverage is designed to be simpler and more efficient with fewer layers, fewer moving pieces, and clear package options that keep things affordable.

Both are amazing.  It just comes down to whether you want premium and highly tailored, or beautifully simple and efficient value.

Experience + Approach
White-glove planning, highly guided experience, more hands-on creative direction, and a “no details missed” production mindset.
