Hire a pro! Professional videographers know how to produce wedding videos that capture the beauty of wedding ceremonies. You just have to find the right videographer for your special day. The following tips can help you get started.
Make Your Videographer Search a Priority
Finding the right videographer is just as important as finding the right photographer. Start your search early and book his (her) services in advance. Getting referrals from friends could help narrow your choices to save time. You can also search for videographers online.
If you’re short on personal referrals, ask your photographer if he (she) can recommend someone. Your photographer may even produce wedding videos as part of his (her) services. Be sure to view samples of a videographer’s work before hiring. You can also check out reviews online to see how other customers rated his (her) services and final product.
Choose Someone Whose Style Matches Your Own
Select someone you feel comfortable with and whose style is similar to your own. Interview several professionals and have them show samples of wedding videos they produced in the past. If you have ideas on how you want your wedding to be presented, share these with your videographer to see if he (she) can accommodate your wishes. By learning more about how your videographer operates, you’ll be able to tell if you’re on the same page.
Make a Formal Contract
Once you’ve decided on a videographer, make a formal contract for the services that will be provided. Your contract should include the date and location of your event, time frame for shooter(s) to be on site, services expected (filming, editing, etc.), finished products (reels of film, trailers, digital files, etc.) you desire, cancellation policy and fee for services to be provided.
Hiring a professional videographer is key to getting amazing wedding video results.
