Things to Consider When Hiring a Videographer

Picking the best out of a lot of videographer suppliers is a tricky task. Every videographer has their own particular style so it’s well worth doing some homework to compare their craftsmanship with your wedding video vision. A lot can be gleaned from a videographers past examples of their work so it’s well worth asking for some sample DVDs and pay close attention to the films sound and picture quality – digital usually means superior results.

Planning your videographer can be a task that needs a fair bit of research so it’s worth starting to make enquiries about 12-18 months prior to the wedding. Remember that you’ll be working very closely with your chosen videographer on one of the most important days of your life, so make sure you like them as much as you like their work.

A wedding video s an everlasting caption and memory of your special day which you’ll be watching for as long as you’re wearing your wedding ring! Only a film can preserver the laughs, the tears, the fund and fashion so it’s crucial the videographer captures the atmosphere as much as the ceremony. Depending on the package which you have chosen, your film can incorporate special effects to highlight the significant moments. It’s best to discuss the possibility of using still frames, slow motion montages or black and white or sepia styles to tell your love story in style.

A cameraman is only as good as his equipment so expect this to be reflected in the price. Remember you’re not just paying for the length of time the videographer has to spend on-location but on editing the polished version as well. Special effects and techniques will also increase the price so clarify the cost of your video package with a written quote outlining the terms and conditions. As a guideline, expect to pay between £500 and £1800, it might seem expensive now but it’s a price worth paying for of peace of mind on the big day and a will guarantee the most beautiful keepsake gift for the future.

Most brides spend months if not years dreaming about their wedding day, so it’s worth spending out on a professional to capture the magic on camera. It’s tempting to cut costs by asking a friend to do the honours but if you are disappointed by the results then there will not be a second opportunity to reshoot the event. Just like your wedding ring, think if a professional video as an investment that can be shared with your children or loved ones who were unable to attend.

As with everything to do with your wedding there are a few vital questions worth asking:-

Which part of your day is included in the package? The longer that the videographer is there, the more it will cost. Be clear about your requirements and what is covered.

Ask about the background music on the DVD. Some videographers will be happy to edit sections of the day to match your favourite music tracks.

How long after the wedding until you receive the DVD? Be patient because it will take a while to edit the final version.

How many copies will they supply? If you’d like extra copies then confirm this will this cost as usually you can expect 1-2.

Have they got insurance? If, for whatever reason they cannot make it or do not turn up it’s wise to make sure you will be compensated as at this late stage it will be impossible to make alternative arrangements.
