Should We Book the Same Company for Photography & Videography?

If you’re planning to have both photography and videography for your wedding day, you’ve likely faced this question:

“Should we book one company for both—or hire separate teams?”

At Smiling Tiger Studios, we offer both photography and video as a seamless service—and over the years, we’ve seen just how much smoother and more enjoyable the experience is when it’s all handled under one roof.

Here’s why booking both together can be one of the best planning decisions you make.

Shared Vision, Seamless Flow

When your photo and video teams are used to working together, there’s no need to navigate creative clashes, overlapping shots, or competing directions.

Instead, you get:

  • A consistent visual style and tone
  • Better pacing and coverage (no stepping on each other’s toes)
  • A calm, collaborative presence on your day

At Smiling Tiger Studios, our photographers and filmmakers operate with shared intuition—we know how to move together without disrupting the moment.

One Story, Told Two Ways

Your wedding film and photos should feel like two parts of the same love story—not like they were made by strangers with different ideas.

We approach every wedding with a documentary mindset. That means:

  • We look for the unscripted, emotional beats
  • We blend into the background
  • We capture the moments you didn’t see—and the ones you’ll never forget

The result? A film and photo collection that complement each other beautifully, with cohesive storytelling from start to finish.

Less Admin, More Simplicity

Let’s be real—wedding planning is full-on. Booking one trusted company for both photography and video means:

  • One point of contact
  • One contract, one timeline, one delivery system
  • A smoother communication flow before, during and after the big day

You’ll spend less time coordinating and more time enjoying the process.
