- Be sure that you sync with the videographer
When you bring a videographer on, you are going to be with them from the moment you sign the contract until after your wedding during their editing process. You are going to want to make sure that before you sign anything, you feel the right vibe!
If you are comfortable around each other, then your videographer will know the little nuances about you that will make your film uniquely yours.
So grab a coffee or drink with a few different people. Which one do you feel really gets you as a couple? Which one is asking you the right questions? Which one shares your sense of humour?
- Be sure you like the way their previous films tell stories
A bride once told me “There has yet to be a wedding video you’ve created that has not made me cry.” Whenever I get feedback like that, it feels awesome because it tells me I am doing my job. I am storytelling.
The truth is, most couples have a story that could bring grown men to tears, but it can only happen if their storyteller (the videographer) takes the time before the wedding to get to know them enough to find that story and tell it with purpose.
- Make sure they have assistants to help split the tasks at your big day
I used to shoot weddings solo and I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. There is just too much gear, too many balls in the air, too little time, and too many places to be at once for it to go smoothly. Choose someone who will send at least two people out on your wedding day.
- Do not be afraid to budget for a Wedding Videographer in Yorkshire - quality depends upon what you pay!
A lot of brides still consider video a luxury item to add to their wedding if budget allows. I would say that with that mind set, you may not want to get a video at all because you could end up paying for something you do not love.
There are no discount stores, coupons, or New Years sales for quality wedding videos. Film-making is a craft, and a well-put-together film takes thought, preparation, physical demand, high quality gear, and editing time. I’m not going to suggest a price since prices vary so much, but I would budget at least the amount you plan on paying your photographer, and perhaps slightly more. No need to dismiss someone based on price but be sceptical of someone who tries to sell you a highly discounted package.
