I found Motion Books through an Instagram ad a few months ago. I wasn’t sure about it, and really wasn’t in the market to purchase a wedding video book (or so I thought) since I’ve been married 6 years! However, lately I’ve been noticing how much my toddler loves looking at, pointing to, and talking about the various wedding photos I have framed around the house. I always tell her “that’s when mommy and daddy got married”.
Well, about 2 weeks ago, I saw the ad again. And I realized although I PAID a videographer to document our wedding, we never watch the video, and don’t really have a good way to! We have a DVD copy, but no longer have a DVD player. Sure, I can pull it up on my phone on Vimeo, but that’s just not the same. When I was a child, I LOVED looking at photo albums and watching family home videos. I want my daughter to have the same experiences, even though it’s not really the way things are done anymore!
This time I gave in. After 6 years married, I took a risk and decided to see if The Motion Books were worth the hype. I ordered one to give to us as a family on Christmas (from Santa of course!).
GUYS. IT IS GORGEOUS!!! I’m SO excited to share this with you as an honest review. I know Instagram ads can be hit or miss. Not only is the book beautiful, but the quality of the video is also awesome. You can choose to upload your video yourself or send them a link to it and they’ll upload. I had them upload mine but I’m sure it’s just as easy to do it yourself. It comes with the cord which is also the charger. As soon as you open the book, your video starts playing. It makes such a lovely coffee table book! I cannot WAIT for my daughter to watch! She’s going to be obsessed with it!
You don’t even have to upload a wedding video, you can add any video to these books, just choose a different text for your front cover! There are personalized options, but I just got the generic “our wedding”. I will probably end up adding family videos, too!
Just think of all the times you have guests over and they could pick up your book and watch your video. I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to pull up my wedding video on the TV and ask people to watch it (especially 6 years in, as I’ve said!) but what a great idea to just have it out for anyone interested!
Lastly, this thing came so fast!!! I ordered on a Thursday, and it ARRIVED on Tuesday! I was shocked. So, there’s still plenty of time to order and have it for Christmas!
