When planning your wedding day, nothing can be left to chance.
You want to ensure that the day is perfect from start to finish, and that your guests have enjoyed their day as much as you and your betrothed.
This is why it is so important to select the best wedding videographer for your big day. Whilst sadly many memories fade, in years to come you will be able to re-watch your wedding video and be transported back to the beautiful day itself.
Here are our top tips on how to make sure that you find the best company for the job.
Do Your Research
When it comes to selecting a wedding videographer, something that is incredibly important to remember is that every different company has their own unique style.
Shop around by visiting wedding fairs and asking your wedding planner or the venue if they have a recommended supplier. Once you’ve chosen, and before confirming with a deposit, ensure that you have seen some of the previous portfolio of work that the company has created. Does it fit how you imagine your wedding video to be?
Remember, this video is going to stand the test of time. It could be one of the only ways that you can see highlights from your big day…it has to be right for you.
Buy Cheap, Buy Twice
A simple fact in life, when purchasing anything, is the age-old adage of ‘buy cheap, buy twice’.
Opting for the cheapest wedding videographer locally might be preferable on the overall budget, but when you consider that the video has the capacity to be around for the rest of your life, a sub-par video that you are unhappy with will only continue to annoy you over time.
There are certain components within a wedding budget that can be compromised to meet your ever growing list of requirements. The dress, the venue and the wedding videographer are not one of these requirements.
Make Sure that your Wedding Videographer Understands All of your Requirements
Before making any bookings, you need to make sure that your potential wedding videographer understands your needs and desires.
If you know from your research that you would like more time focused on a certain part of your wedding – the speeches, for example – then sitting down with your wedding videographer ahead of time to confirm that this can be achieved is of vital importance.
Remember, you are paying for a service. If it matters to you, then the right wedding videographer will understand that it is an essential, and do their best to capture your precious memories in a way that you will love in years to come.
Book in Advance!
A trap that many a first time bride falls into is running out of time.
The amount of work that wedding videographers have to turn down is painful, and considering that many couples have been planning their wedding for years, it can be devastating to be turned down from the wedding videographer of your dreams.
Make sure that as soon as you have the venue booked, your preferred wedding videographer is contacted for availability. Don’t be afraid of asking for advance bookings! You might regret it at a later date if not.
