Questions About Choosing Your Wedding Film

Choosing a Videographer for Your Wedding

As you research videographers to find the right one to film your wedding, you will likely discover that videographers vary greatly in many areas.  That "Craigslist" videographer's deal may sound too good to be true.  But sadly, you won't find out that the deal was "too good to be true" until after your once-in-a-lifetime wedding.  Experience Matters!!

Here is a summary of the questions we believe you should ask any videographer you are considering.

1. What is the style and length of the finished product?
2. How much will the video cost?
3. Can you adjust content of their published packages to better meet your specific needs?
4. How many videographers do they have available for filming? 
5. Do they offer an option to film with DSLR and/or 4K cameras
6. How many weddings have they filmed?  Experience does matter.
7. Do they have appropriate camera equipment to be able to film long events such as the entire ceremony?
8. How many cameras will be used for filming the ceremony?
9. Do they have wireless audio equipment to capture the vows?
10. Do they have additional audio equipment to capture the strings, readers,and soloists?
11. Are they well-known and respected in the wedding industry?
12. Are they willing to give you multiple references from recent weddings that you can contact
13. Do they have recent reviews on popular wedding sites?
14. Are they on preferred vendor lists at respected wedding venues?
15. Do other wedding vendors, such as photographers, refer them?
