     Your wedding video is the collection of memories that you will have of your wedding day to look back on and cherish for many years to come.  The wedding video gives you the feeling and events at your wedding as they happen(ed).... It is very important to work with a professional that can capture these moments for you. 

     There are 2 wedding videos that have become very important in the past few years.  The first, and more obvious, is the video of the events, people and places of your special day.  These add personality to the memories, since they are "live", and as they happened.  A good videographer can make sure that you'll get to feel the atmosphere of these memories.

     The second type of wedding video, is the one that many couples are using to show their growing up, their siblings, families, and those special people in their life.  It is a video that shows the times of your life, and always creates a very special experience at your reception.  A professional videographer can help to create this video from your photos and other items which reflect your personality, taste, and memories.   

     When choosing a videographer, or production company to handle these tasks, take care to make sure that this person understands what you want and what you expect.  Many of the tips listed in the photography page can apply to the videographer as well.  Be sure to consider the information below when choosing a professional to work with. 

     These professionals have the experience to make your memories come out on tape.  Some of these professionals may offer your memories on other media like a DVD disk.... Be sure to ask them if this option is available.   They should work with you, and provide some help for the 'basics' that need to be captured.

The list below has some important tips to take with you when meeting with potential videographers

  • Shop around....interview more than one person for each service.
  • If the photographer/videographer is from the same place, is it the same person.  One person can't possibly cover both pictures and video at your ceremony and reception.
  • Is the person you're meeting with the person that will be doing the work?  If not, set up a meeting with that person as well.
  • Insist on seeing examples of their work.  If they're professional, they should have some.  Remember, they're not going to show you their "oops" shots, but check for quality.
  • Does the video 'come to life' as you see them.
  • Ask for references.
  • Do they charge by the hour, or by the job.   Make sure they're available long enough to get all your  events on film and/or tape.
  • Do they do this part-time or full-time.  Do they have an office.  (Many videographers work from their homes, it's not unusual, if so, ask to meet them there and see it...make sure it appears professional and organized)
  • Have they ever worked at your ceremony or reception site.
  • When will the finished video be ready?
  • What packages of vidoes do they offer, and at what cost?
  • How much of a deposit do they need? When is the balance due?
  • What type of guarantees do they offer?
  • Do they work as a team with a photographer?
  • ONCE YOU HAVE HIRED THEM......
  • Make sure you have a contract signed detailing the above.
  • Review the time schedule and date of your wedding day with your videographer and include this in the contract.
  • Will video be done at the ceremony site while your wedding party is "posed" for the photographers?  Is this an option that your videographer offers.  If you want your video to include your entire wedding party together, remember that it is difficult to get everyone together when the reception starts and the fun begins... this is a great chance to capture this moment on video. 
  • Make a list of special moments that are important for you to have, i.e. Grandma with Mom and bride etc.
  • Very Important-- RECONFIRM THE DATE AND INFO WITH THEM AT LEAST 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING.  THIS GIVES TIME...JUST IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG
  • VERY, VERY IMPORTANT... DO THEY HAVE A "BACK-UP" FOR THEM IN CASE OF SOME TYPE OF EMERGENCY.   It's unusual, but if they have an emergency, get hurt or sick, or something catastrophic happens, you could be out a  videographer, and miss capturing these memories. 

Talk to the professionals listed on this page.   They can help to make sure your memories are captured.
