Comparison

An experienced crew for photo and video vs two suppliers

Which to choose

An experienced crew is cheaper, faster and looks better. The exception is a very large event where a specialist video production company runs the stage and a photographer covers the floor, coordinated by the organiser. See trade show photography.
