VIDEOGRAPHY TIPS

DON'T SHOP PRICE - SHOP QUALITY!

Interviewing your videographers should be a learning experience. Shop all the price ranges, and educate yourself. Find out why one is more expensive than another. Then make an educated decision. Go to their studios. Your wedding video is an investment!

Don't discount talent! It's an important factor and has to do with the videographer's interpretation of the events. You can't take talent for granted. It's something that's inborn and flavored by the artist's experience, training, and expertise. It's the factor that makes each wedding video unique. Look for it!

NEVER CHOOSE YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER OVER THE PHONE!

The telephone is used for setting up appointments. Your wedding is one of the biggest days of your life. Your choice of the right team of wedding professionals is critical. Take the time if you are seriously considering vendors to visit with each of them. See their work environment. View samples videos, albums, taste cake, food, etc… This is a big purchase.

FULL TIME STUDIO VS. PART TIME STUDIO

Full timers are professional business people and rely on their craft for their livelihood (unlike a part-timer, who has another job to fall back on). A professional full-time videographer tends to maintain a better level and quality of equipment, and is able to invest more time in the edit room.

DON'T ASK FOR REFERRALS ABOUT QUALITY

Your friends are going to tell you that their videos are the best ever, but how do you know unless you take the time to watch them? Once you do, make your own determination. However, do ask about the reliability of the videographer, their attitude and style. These are critical factors that are just as important as the final product. You must be happy with all your vendors, and not be stressed by them on your wedding day.
