As I mentioned, I wanted an easily shareable video for social. "It's becoming very clear that fewer and fewer people have a DVD or Blu-Ray player hooked up to their TVs anymore," she said. "Digital versions and USB hard drives are making it easier to store, access, share, and copy most anything — especially your wedding film." Storing your footage on a cloud means it also can't get physically lost!
However, if cloud storage makes you nervous or you have technologically challenged relatives, there are options for hard copies. Make sure your video studio offers both if you need these options.
Thompson recommends Blu-ray over DVDs. "Blu-rays are an advancement over the DVD in terms of quality," she said. "Blu-rays allow for more data storage, which translates into higher-definition and richer-quality images, whereas the DVD has only a fraction of the space which naturally lowers the quality capability of the footage. It could make the same footage appear different on these two formats. Having your wedding film on Blu-rays will give you the best of the best."
