An epic wedding videographer will help you relive the most iconic day of your life; in a way that it will almost look like a surreal experience. You’ll be able to see yourself walking down the aisle and cherish how the guests’ serene faces change to an admiring one, dote on the romantic first dance and the blissful affair it was, alongside laughing at Uncle John’s funny reception party moves after he has had far too many glasses of champagne. But, just how do you find someone who captures and edits all these moments well?
This burning question is answered in our 6-step guide to finding the best wedding videographer for your special day:
Think Of The Budget:
When it comes to a wedding videographer, there’s no such thing as a budget-option. A professional London wedding videographer will charge between £2500 – £8500. The cost is based on the number of guests, type of package (ceremony-only, reception-only, comprehensive package), and style of the wedding video (mixed-media, same-day edit, movie-inspired, stop-motion, documentary-style, etc). The filmmakers are more than willing to create a custom package that fits your desired price in the above-mentioned range.
Trust The Vibe:
Unlike other wedding vendors, you’ll be working with your videographer before, during, and even after the wedding. Build a good rapport so they’re well aware of your uniqueness as a couple and capture and edit the same in the final film.
Our Tip: Grab a coffee with your frontrunners, see which one would perfectly portray your style, and proceed with that one.
Ask For References From The Industry Runners:
If you have a trusty venue-owner, wedding planner, or photographer on board, ask them for videographer recommendations. They’re the pros in the industry; just let them know the style of wedding video you want, trust us they can help! Especially the planners run around with a team of suppliers who’re stellar with their work and can be the perfect addition to your wedding dream team.
Research and Analyze:
Research and analyze thoroughly! Go through some random wedding videos and see which one moves you the most. Outline the specific details you’re doting on. Then, begin your search for videographers who work along the same lines. Take a look into their reviews and reach out to discuss the specifics.
Make Sure They Have Assistants:
A good wedding videographer will seldom run solo. There’s just too much gear to handle and too many moments to be captured. A quality video requires several angles to be captured at once. So, choose someone who has at least one assistant with them on your big day.
Pro Tip: People often complain of wedding videographers moving around a lot and disrupting the ceremony. If you aren’t comfortable, let them know you want static filming. Just a clarification that not many couples think about discussing.
Having the right wedding videographer will make sure your magical moments are captured well. Moreover, having a few tips in mind before making the hiring decision is a great way to avoid any post-ceremony regrets.
