10 Reasons to Hire a Photographer + Videographer for Your Wedding Day Rehearsal
Your wedding day is the main event, but let’s not overlook the magic of the day before—the rehearsal and dinner. It’s often where the excitement starts to feel real, with your closest friends and family gathering to celebrate your love.
I’m a big believer that the rehearsal day deserves just as much love as the wedding day! It’s full of laughter, heartfelt moments, and those little nerves that make everything so special. Adding photography and videography coverage means you’ll have every part of your love story beautifully preserved—not just the “I do’s.”

Here are 10 reasons why rehearsal dinner coverage should be on your must-have list:
1. Capture Authentic Moments
The rehearsal is where the magic starts—nervous giggles, warm hugs, and moments of connection you might miss in the whirlwind of your wedding day.
2. Document the Lead-Up to Your Big Day
Your love story doesn’t start at the altar. Rehearsal coverage captures the excitement and emotion of the moments leading up to the big day.
3. Relieve Pre-Wedding Jitters
Getting to know your photographer and videographer during the rehearsal makes you feel more relaxed and confident in front of the camera for the main event. I love helping couples infuse a touch of adventure into their wedding day, whether it’s exchanging vows in the heart of the desert or right in your own hometown. I truly believe that adventurous souls carry a special spark wherever they go, and I can’t wait to help you celebrate that in a way that feels uniquely you.
So, what do you think? Ready to laugh at my cringy “that’s what they said” jokes while we create photos you’ll be proud to hang on your walls and tell your story for a lifetime?
4. Practice Makes Perfect
Rehearsal footage can help you tweak those final details, like timing your walk down the aisle or making sure Uncle Joe remembers where to sit.
5. Spotlight Your Inner Circle
The rehearsal is often an intimate gathering of your closest loved ones. These are the people who’ve supported you throughout your journey, and their presence deserves to be celebrated.
6. Cherish Intimate Moments
Rehearsals tend to be more laid-back and personal, creating space for heartfelt conversations and memories you’ll want to relive again and again.
7. Relive the Speeches
Rehearsal dinners are famous for their heartfelt toasts and funny stories. Capturing these on video means you’ll always have them to look back on.
8. Create a Full Wedding Story
Including rehearsal footage in your wedding album or highlight reel paints a complete picture of your celebration from start to finish.
9. Perfect for Thank-You Gifts
Imagine gifting your parents or bridal party a beautiful photo or video of them from the rehearsal—an unforgettable way to say thank you!
10. It’s a Once-in-a-Lifetime Event
Your rehearsal is a unique part of your love story, and the moments that unfold are just as meaningful as the ones on the wedding day itself.
Why It’s Worth It
The rehearsal dinner is where the magic begins. It’s where you laugh a little louder, hug a little tighter, and soak in the love that surrounds you. By adding day-before coverage, you’re giving yourself the gift of reliving those memories—every laugh, tear, and toast—for years to come.
