The Videographers

Building a good rapport with your videographers is crucial, as they’ll be present during many intimate moments throughout the day. Check their reviews, ask for references from past couples, and arrange a meeting or video call to get to know them better. Look for genuine enthusiasm—they should be passionate about their work and open to all your questions. A great videographer will happily share their experiences from previous weddings and be eager to discuss their approach with you before you decide to book.

Cost

Consider the cost of the videographer’s services and ensure it aligns with your budget. Keep in mind that some videographers may charge additional fees, such as travel expenses. Remember that a higher price doesn’t always guarantee better quality. Also, ask how many videos you'll receive and the length of each.

Film Package

Clarify what’s included in their filming package, including the number of films you’ll receive and the length of each. Ask what parts of the day they plan to capture [eg bridal prep at your venue], when they’ll begin filming, and when they’ll finish—typically after the first dance, (unless you’ve arranged otherwise)

Filming style

Videographers often have unique filming styles, like documentary or cinematic. Select someone who will collaborate with you to create a personalized film that beautifully tells the story of your wedding day.

Equipment & Editing

Choose a videographer who uses high-quality equipment, such as Sony or Canon cameras, and ask about their film stabilization and recording quality. Ensure they have experience filming weddings and capturing clear audio. The final video should feature excellent music, sound, and image quality, along with skillful editing.

Reviews

Seek a videographer with positive feedback from past clients, as this can give you a sense of the service they provide. Ask if they’re open to sharing references from previous couples for added insight. Check-out their website for reviews and examples of their work.

Film Examples

Request examples of your videographer's work, ideally from a wedding filmed at a venue similar to yours. If their package includes various types of films, ask to see a sample of each style they offer.

Availability

Confirm that the videographer is available on your wedding date and can deliver the final film within a reasonable timeframe. Be sure to discuss the expected editing period when booking to ensure it aligns with your schedule.
