Selecting a videographer can best be accomplished by obtaining referrals
from family and friends who have had personal experience with his or her
work. Before you meet with the videographer you will need to know the date,
time and location of your wedding and reception. You need to check with
the ceremony and reception sites to make sure there are no restrictions
regarding videography.
When meeting with the videographer, ask to see samples of his/her work.
Explain in great detail what you would like your video to contain such
as special music for the introduction, whether or not photographs are
to be used of the bride and groom as children, the events to be shot
on your wedding day and the sequence and whether or not to record personal
messages from the bride and groom to each other before the ceremony.
Many times at the reception the videographer will go around to your guests
and have them record personal messages of congratulations to the couple
as well.
Questions and considerations for your videographer include:
-
Is he/she familiar with the ceremony and reception site(lighting,
sound and angles are critical for videos)?
-
How many hours will he/she
video at the ceremony and reception?
-
Do you receive the master
tape and how many videos come in the package?
-
How many people
will be shooting the video?
-
Look at the contract and add any special
requests in writing, along with their costs.
-
What is the package
cost, what does it include, and what is the deposit required?
-
When
is the balance due?
