What to Ask a Wedding Videographer Before You Book Them!

I see you, in love couples planning your perfect day that encompasses who you are as a couple and what you have envisioned for so long to, realize in budget and in the timeframe needed. Planning anything, especially a wedding is so stressful and the costs add up quick! All of the decisions and little details that could make or break this special day can be more than overwhelming. I felt underwater planning a birthday weekend with my friends and there is no comparison. 

The majority of couples that I have worked with book their videographer last minute compared to other vendors. I am usually booked between 5 months to 1 month before the wedding date. I get it (I don’t agree) but I get it, some couples may not be sure if they should hire a videographer, it can seem excessive, expensive, your not the type of couple to watch it back, the list goes on. As last minute worry sets in you may hear other couples regret not hiring a videographer and you realize that you want to capture your vows said out loud.  

In my opinion documenting the vows you will say to your partner on your wedding day should be a bigger priority than say flowers, that will just wilt by the end of the day. So when you finally decide to come to your senses ;) You want to make sure your are hiring someone that is very capable of this task and can do so professionally as there is only one shot at getting these prescious moments in real time. 

Keep reading to learn the top 3 things you should ask you Wedding Videographer before you book them for their services on your wedding day. 

  1. Internet Presence
             Most of us realize that if we have never worked in a particular industry, there is a LOT that one doesn’t know about the in’s and out’s of someone's job. That can be said for most couples out there looking for the perfect wedding videographer. Not only do couples have to worry about finding a company or sole person to be available on their wedding date and within in their budget. But make sure that they can 100% trust the person/company they hire to capture this one take shots on the most important day of their life. Let’s face it there are tons of scammers lurking in the shadows of the wedding industry and it breaks my heart to see people not get what they hoped, dreamed, and paid for. So make sure a videographer that you may be interested in hiring has at least 1 but better if they have all 3 things to legitmize them as professional wedding videographer on the internet; A website, a social media presence on at least three major platforms, and verified real life examples of their work. Bonus if they have reviews on a public site. Where you can see examples to their work, style, and who they are as a person.


     2. Customer Service & Communication
You’ve heard the saying, “Customer Service is Key!” This is so true for any wedding vendor, especially someone that you have never worked with before and in some cases never met in person before. To know if a potential wedding videographer is a good company or person to book is their communication. Fast and constant communication is key to booking a professional wedding videographer. If a potential wedding videographer is not fully answering your questions, not getting back to you in a timely matter or doesn’t even offer to meet or at least have a phone call with you. I would take them off your potential list. If a wedding videographer is not providing exceptional customer service while communicating as well, is a key indicator too!

     3.Provides Video Agreement or Contract 
This last detail before securing wedding video services for your special day is essential to assuring a worry-free experience when it comes to booking a wedding videographer. If a wedding videographer that you want to book does not offer a personalized agreement or contract on the terms of the package, pay, and expectations of the day there are so many potential risks that can occur that can ruin one of the most important memories of your life! Make sure there are important clauses, like what happens if the videographer gets sick, terms on cancellation and deposit and payment. 

Looking for a professional and trustworthy wedding videographer? Look no further, I am right in front of you. Even we may not be the right fit, I can refer and suggest trusted videographers in your area. Inquire here today!
