On the day of your wedding, one of the most important people you will see that day is the wedding videographer. He or she is charged with capturing the special moments that occur throughout the day. Therefore, it is important that you take the time to carefully discuss your needs and wants with the videographer. To help you with covering the right topics, here are some areas to cover with him or her:

Style

While interviewing videographers, you will realize that they have differing styles of videography. Whereas some focus on telling a story with the video, others are simply there to create a standard wedding day video. You need to find out which style each one is offering to ensure the finished product is what you and your spouse want.

Another reason to discuss the videography style is that there might be options available for the film that you might not have considered. For instance, some videographers are comfortable with creating a cinematographic style film. Your wedding video could be a feature that others are excited to view.

Venue

During the interviews, find out if any of the videographers have shot a video in your venue before. There are several reasons why you should ask, but the most important are that he or she will be familiar with the challenges that the room can present. For instance, if one area of the room is particularly dark, the videographer can plan to handle that situation.

Being familiar with the venue also can be helpful to you. The videographer can also point out issues that could not only impact the quality of the video, but also the photos that are taken by the wedding photographer.

Final Product

Once the video has been shot, the videographer has the responsibility of editing the footage that he or she took. The editing process can take time and if you are unsure of when to expect the final product, you could become anxious.

To avoid some of the anxiety, ask the videographer about his or her editing time and the expected finish date. It could take weeks or even months to receive the final product.

Before contracting with any wedding videographer, make sure that you have asked every question you think is pertinent to determining which one is right for you. If you are unsure of any details, ask the videographer for clarification. Once you sign the contract, the videographer you choose has the job.
