Your wedding is a big day. You should ensure that you have recorded every bit of it for future reference. There are many people who claim to be doing professional videos, but there are horror stories of couples that got disappointed for not doing due diligence when hiring a videographer for their wedding. Some of the tips that help when setting a videographer are:
Consider Experience
Before you contact the person who is doing your videos, you must first look at how experienced they are. Ask them if they have ever taken videos of a wedding. They should also provide you with their qualification details. It is important for you to see a portfolio of their work. Do not be convinced by word of mouth only. Compare and contrast the options you have and only settle for the one you are sure will give you the best deal.
Discuss Equipment
There are DSLR cameras that can take videos but when it comes to wedding videography, the equipment should be upgraded. Ask the person who will be taking your videos about the equipment they will be using. There is usually a lot of movement during weddings and it needs a good camera to capture everything.
Think of Post Production
When you are talking about wedding videos, you must also put the post-production into consideration. You need to be clear on how they will be done, and the format in which the video will be packaged. The videographer should also give you a clear direction of how long it will take for you to finally get hold of your wedding photos.
As a rule, you must have candid conversations on what you expect, how the venue will look like, the elements that must be included in the video, and such like information.
