Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and no one wants to spoil that day by choosing the wrong videographer. As a photographer take the photos of your wedding day; similarly, a videographer captures your wedding day with movement and sound including all the fun and joy, but also the tears of joy and nervous excitement. These are the precious memories your wedding videographer will capture during your special day.  If your wedding memories are something that’s important to you, then it makes sense to hire the best wedding videographer that fits your wedding day style.

Check out their work

Check out the edits of their past work., how does it look and feel, how is the colour, are the shoots smooth and fluid? The main thing when watching thair wedding videos is that you feel a connection to thair work Preferably, you must see a variety of their work. Don’t just watch the short wedding highlights videos, take some time to watch the full-length ones also so you get a better feel of their style

Google and Facebook reviews

What are other couples saying about the videographer? Be sure to check their reviews page via google and Facebook. If reviews are switched of this may be a total red flag, time to keep looking.

Communication 

Once you have narrowed down the wedding videographers whose work you have connected with, take some time to make an inquiry asking any other questions that you feel are important. Your wedding videographers should reply in a timely manner (usually 24-48 hours max) and be able to answer any questions right away. If there is any hesitation in answering your questions or you are waiting days and days for a reply, this may be a red flag also. I good videographer should be open and willing to help with ideas and suggestions but also be asking you questions and have a real interest in getting to know what you feel is important on your wedding day.

Quality vs budget

Usually, the quality of a videographer’s work depends upon his or her experience. When choosing a wedding videographer don’t just go for the cheapest videographer you can find. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for and videography is the same. Bargain basement prices may mean a bargain basement job…and is that something you really want for your wedding? 

Photographers who offer video 

It’s not uncommon for some photographers to offer videography on the side or as an extra. If you are looking for someone who provides both photography and videography check out some of their wedding videos. Most of the time you will find these edits to be super basic with little fluid movement and poor audio quality. The last thing you want is someone swapping and juggling cameras, rushing around trying to capture both images and video or just leaving a camera on an unmanned tripod.
