7 reasons why our brides and grooms prefer their videos to their photos
Posted on May 8, 2025

100% de nos clients ont été jusqu’à maintenant estomaqué de revoir le film de mariage. 

Each of these couples literally wrote to us a few months after their film was delivered, and confessed to having watched it several times, with friends, family and/or alone as lovers.

On pense savoir pourquoi !

1. Reliving the emotion

At the risk of sounding pretentious, the first point is simple: it’s the work as a whole.

C’est pas juste une série d’images. C’est une montagne russe d’émotions qu’on vous donne.

Once. Twice. Nine times. Each viewing reveals a detail you missed. That’s our primary goal!

Et c’est précisément ce que nos mariés nous ont confié. Avec nos techniques de docu-réalité et l’inspiration du vlog américain, on vous offre une histoire qui ne ressemble pas à ce que vous avez déjà vu ailleurs.

C’est plus personnel. C’est plus intime. Et surtout, c’est plus authentique.


2. Celebrating all that you are

We’re not just going to film your finest moments of the day. We’ll bring them to life through the prism of our storytelling – our very own way of telling your story.

On ne célèbre pas que la journée. On célèbre tout ce que vous êtes, tout ce que vous avez fait, vos rêves, vos peines, votre histoire. C’est votre moment, à vous, et à ceux que vous aimez.

**Quand je dis ça, je pense toujours au père dans une de nos vidéos. À la fin des préparatifs, il arrive, sa fille est prête. Il la voit. Elle se montre. Et là, dans ses yeux, on sent tout passer. C’est silencieux, mais c’est fort. Ils se regardent et comprennent que ce moment-là… c’est un des moments d’une vie.

And when that same father leads her down the aisle… she’s not yet the bride at the altar, but he’s already let her go. It’s in these moments that we understand the full depth of the story we want to tell with Ixpé.


3. Sound is pure living emotion

– Ce que vous entendez, c’est ce que vous ressentez.

What we capture isn’t just a moving image. It’s everything around you: the trembling voice during the vows, the nervous laughter of a witness, the heartfelt applause, a sigh of relief, or even the silence that says it all.

At Ixpé, that’s what our microphones are for. To capture not just the words, but the breaths, the emotions in the voice, the chills. It’s these details that make your film not just beautiful, but deeply felt.

– Plus qu’un souvenir. Une immersion complète.

A photo reminds you of a moment. A video brings it back to you in its entirety.

You hear, you feel, you immerse yourself. And sometimes that’s the most precious thing of all: a voice you may never hear again, but it’s there. Clear. Alive. Present.

Because we’ve taken care to record it with all the respect it deserves.


4. Filming a wedding… as a couple

When I shoot a wedding, I do it with the love of my life. We’re a couple, we’re also co-owners ofIxpé, and that changes everything.

Filming a wedding for two, when we’re in love ourselves, gives us a different sensibility. Another way of listening. We feel what the bride and groom are going through – not just as videographers, but as human beings. And that’s what we focus all our attention on.

We live every marriage. We understand it. We feel it with you. And we translate it into images with the same intensity as you experienced it.


5. Inclusivity as a guiding principle

Of course, the bride and groom take center stage. But with us, everyone has their place.

Preparations with parents. The arrival of the procession. The groomsmen and bridesmaids. Friends, little cousins, the grandmother who never misses a dance.

We film all these people. Because your story is also told through them.

And it’s not just for the memory:

  • People like to see themselves in a film like that.
  • They feel included. They feel they were part of something important.
  • And when you show them the film, they want to see it again. And see it again.

🎞 Top 3 true stories from our customers :

  1. The groomsmen who watched their performance with a beer, because there was no game that night.
  2. A bride who was able to watch her wedding film with her uncle in Zoom, because he couldn’t come to the country.
  3. A grandmother in the late ’90s who cried to see herself in the film – not just as a spectator, but as an actress of the evening.

6. For now. For later. For always.

This one, I confess, I’m writing with a little hindsight.

I don’t often think about what you’re going to do with your film 30 years from now. But I know it will be something.

One day, perhaps, your children will watch it. Or your grandchildren.

Just imagine.

They’ll see how you were. How you loved each other. What you built.

And it’ll all be here. Genuine. Unalterable.

  • It’s the kind of thing your children will want to see. Then your grandchildren.
  • Because you were beautiful, real, alive. And because you took the time to capture it.

7. Review your day, really

There’s no doubt about it: a wedding video is a wonderful way to revisit your day. To experience it differently. More slowly. More deeply.

The comment we hear most often from our brides and grooms is, “It went by so fast!”

And it’s true. That kind of day goes by in a flash. You’re carried along by the adrenaline, the people, the unexpected… you live intensely, but not always consciously.

Maybe that’s why having a short film that relates every moment, every moment, changes everything.

Because now you can stop. See again. Hear again. Revisit.

And you can do it hundreds of times if you have to.


🎬 In real life…

Vous allez peut-être oublier certains moments, à votre défense, ça fait beaucoup !
Vous allez peut-être vous rappeler quelques discours, mais assurément pas tous !

Mais le film de votre mariage — s’il est bien fait — va devenir le seul souvenir vivant et complet de cette journée-là, avec les moments, les discours et tout le reste !

A film you can watch together. Offer it to your children. Show to those who were there. And to those who couldn’t be there.

And what if it all turned into a work you’ll never tire of seeing again?

That’s what we create at Ixpé.
