Hiring a wedding videographer is an important decision, as they'll capture one of the most memorable days of your life. Here’s a guide to help you find the right one:

1. Determine Your Style

Wedding videography comes in various styles:

• Cinematic: Edited like a film with music, dramatic angles, and emotional storytelling.

• Documentary: Captures the day in a more natural, unfiltered way, similar to a documentary.

• Traditional: Classic, straightforward filming with less editing and effects.

• Storytelling: Focuses on interviews or voiceovers to tell a deeper narrative.

Watch examples of these styles and figure out which one resonates with you and your partner.

2. Set a Budget

Prices for wedding videographers can vary widely based on experience, style, and length of coverage. Determine how much you're willing to spend before reaching out to videographers. Please message us for our packages as we have several different options to consider for your day.

3. Research and Shortlist

• Personal Recommendations: Ask friends or family for recommendations.

• Online Reviews: Check websites like The Knot, WeddingWire, or Google for videographer reviews.

• Social Media and Portfolios: Look for videographers on Instagram or YouTube to see their work.

Shortlist a few videographers whose style and pricing align with your preferences.

4. Check Availability

Reach out to your shortlisted videographers early—many book months in advance. Ask about their availability on your wedding date.

5. Interview the Videographers

Once you've shortlisted a few, ask them the following:

• Experience: How long have they been shooting weddings? Have they shot at your venue before?

• Equipment: What kind of cameras and audio equipment do they use?

• Team: Will they work solo, or will there be an additional shooter to cover multiple angles?

• Editing: How long will editing take? What format will the final video be delivered in?

• Delivery: How will the footage be delivered (digital, USB, DVD)? Will there be a highlight reel and a full-length video?

6. Watch Full Wedding Videos

Don’t just rely on highlight reels, which may be edited to perfection. Ask to see full wedding videos to get a better sense of their shooting and editing style over a longer duration.

7. Clarify the Contract

Make sure the contract covers:

• Hours of coverage

• Number of videographers

• Details on what’s included in the final package (e.g., highlight video, full-length film, raw footage)

8. Compatibility

It’s important to get along well with your videographer. You’ll spend a lot of time with them on your wedding day, so ensure they’re someone you’re comfortable with and who understands your vision.

9. Ask for Customization

Some videographers offer packages, but they may be willing to customize their services to fit your specific needs. For example, you may want them to cover the rehearsal dinner, bridal prep, or a day-after shoot.

10. Book Early

Once you’ve found the perfect videographer, book them as soon as possible to lock in your date, especially if your wedding is during peak season.

Following these steps will help you find a videographer who can beautifully capture your big day, preserving those memories forever.
