So…. You’ve been proposed to huh? Congratulations! Making sure that your wedding day is just as wonderful and gorgeous as you've always dreamed can be a challenge. But with lots of planning and organization, its gets done. So what about preserving all these memories that you, for so long, combined together to make such a wonderful day? Why, you get a Wedding Videographer of course! However, if you choose the wrong Videographer, your day may be less than ideal, and you may not be happy with the video that your Videographer makes for you. So here are some suggestions on how to find the right Videographer for your Wedding day!
First, do you like the Videographers work? Make sure that you look at a rather good collection of the Videographers Videos. Now days Videographers have a lot of there Videos online to watch. See what their style is and if it either fits your style, or if they are able to create a style that personalized for you and your spouse! The videos you will watch will probably symbolize the best of the Videographers work. They usually put their best up online. So, after watching the videos, how does it look? Are they pleasant to look at? And what about the type of cameras they use? Are they brilliant in color and how good is their knowledge in lighting and making sure it looks cinematic? Does the lighting and the color look good to you? Is the Videographers style what you are looking for? Most of my clients are usually looking for a very Hollywood-Cinematic style that is cool but sweet and beautiful at the same time. Make sure your Videographer is capable of this! If you don't like the Videographers work, there is no need to consider them further.
Second, do you like the Videographers character and mannerisms? Is the Videographer certain of their self and easy going or are they scared and seem awkward? These are very important questions to ask because it will tell you if your Videographers is will to get those awesome crazy shots or if they are just willing to be normal. And who wants normal at their Wedding? No way! You want different, crazy, and beautiful! Make sure your Videographer has the personality to do this! Remember, the Videographer will be with you all day long, interacting with you, and all your family and guests, so you want to make sure they are someone you want around all day! A lot of times Videographers cannot met up with you personally because of the demanding schedules they have. Filming all day on the weekends and then editing all day and night during the week. So make sure you talk to them on the phone before the Wedding day and email them throughout your engagement so you can get a good idea of what they are like. Most people in the Wedding Industry love what they do! So really you shouldn’t find a mean Videographer, but sometimes you never know. So, make sure you at least have a conference call with them.
Third, does your Videographger have the practice and understanding to anticipate all the excellent things that will happen on your wedding day, and the knowledge and experience to deal with the bad things that could happen as well? An experienced Videographer will have videoed enough weddings to be able to anticipate and to capture special moments during your Wedding day and the all the very important details that may easily be missed by an unprofessional or inexperienced Wedding Videographer. An experienced Videographer also knows the things that could go wrong at a Wedding and will sometimes be able to foresee and expect them and will also have the knowledge and understanding on how to deal with them, with even sometimes not letting the Bride and Groom as well as the guests even knowing that something went wrong. So that’s very important. Experience.
And lastly, does your Videographer offer you the right value? This doesn’t just mean price but value with significance as well. If your Videographer doesn't have all of the above personality traits or characteristics, it may not matter what their prices are. If the Videographer has everything mentioned above, that's a big part of the value they offer you. Please make sure your Videographer will provide the most beautiful creative video you’ve ever seen!
And now that you have all this good information to go off of you can now relax and feel confident the love, special moments and important details of your wedding day will be captured in beautiful images for a lifetime of memories. Congratulations once again!
