CT-“We did the video thing for the first two children’s weddings. Waste of money, never look at them anymore.”
-Thats what I was thinking

“Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone with video capability.”
-Which makes it even less necessary nowadays to do video. I mean before smartphones its one thing even though you never really watch it, but nowadays its almost completely unnecessary. On the other hand for some reason it still feels hard to give it up for people maybe they feel they might regret not having video?
In a way it also adds to the whole atmosphere of the simcha its sort of an illusion of a bigger production.

But anyways I would say to have video for the chuppah, and pre/post chuppah (and other highlights). Also you can turn it into a nice clip which sums up the wedding and professional cameras and cameraman still beat smartphones. But the dancing is usually pointless to watch so for that smartphones are good enough.
