Wedding Videography

Know Your Options

While every videographer likely has different packages, you should end up with a high-quality video and copies for those who want them. Of course, you can speak with the videographer to find the one that best suits your preferences.

Not everyone wants or needs videography for their wedding, and we know it's an added expense; the average cost in the U.S being $1,658 (though it varies depending on location). But if professional wedding videography is right for you, here are some things to consider when choosing the best videographer.

Questions to Ask Your Wedding Videographer

Finding a wedding videographer is much like finding the perfect wedding photographer, and you can ask similar questions of both.

Do some research. Look through their portfolio and see if anything resonates with you. This will give you an idea of their style and will help you determine if they are a good fit for filming your wedding.

Next, find out about their experience and background. You may not want to hire someone who has only done one or two jobs. Ask questions around how long they have been in the business and how many weddings they film each year. It may also be nice to know whether they are familiar with your wedding venue. The more experienced they are, the more comfortable you will feel working with them.

Another good question to ask is if they know your photographer and whether they have worked together before. This is by no means a requirement, but can be an added bonus. Ask about their camera equipment and if there will be more than one camera person or videographer.

Finally, it is always important to inquire about pricing and packages. Find out how they charge and what's included other than just raw footage. You will want to know what exactly you are paying for and what you can expect in your wedding video. Not everyone needs ten copies with all the bells and whistles, but it's important to know how much money to set aside for your desired results.
