Tips for finding the right Videogpraher
If you want a beautiful cinematic representation of your special day, you should hire a professional videographer. Here is a list of tips and questions to ask yourself before you hire them!
Hire a professional - Please taking hiring a videographer as seriously as you would a photographer. Sure, hiring Uncle Bob could save you a lot of money, but if Uncle Bob doesn’t have the right equipment, know how to adjust to things like weather or lighting will not produce the stunning video that you want to cherish forever
Hire someone local - Hiring a local videographer will go a long way. They probably have already worked an event at the venue or know someone who has. Hiring a vendor close to your venue will also cut down on travel costs and set up time.
Look at all their reviews as well as their portfolio - Knowing the experiences that other couples have had with the vendor is crucial. I would check this on multiple sites. See if their vibe fits with yours just as you would a photographer
Know what style you want - There are different approaches to filming a wedding. There are some that look more like a music video, showing amazing shots of the day, but have very little to no audio, then there are films that focus on candid moments that don’t exactly look like a film, but give you the memories that you want. Then there is a cinematic style that encompasses all aspects. Figure out what your vision is and pick a videographer that has PROOF that they know how to deliver that vision.
Make sure they have a drone license - If your wedding is in a beautiful destination; some wedding videographers could put a drone in the air to capture the day like nothing on the ground can. First, make sure they’re licensed to fly drones and that the local laws are followed.
Meet them in person - We cannot stress this enough. We recommend meeting them in person, and if possible, bring the photographer. These two will need to be on the same page and in unison to stay out of each other’s way and deliver the footage you’re dreaming of. The best way would to grab a drink or coffee and vibe together. Getting everyone to know each other could pay off dividends on your big day
