There’s been an explosion in the amount of wedding
videographers that are working these days. The quality of wedding films today is better than it’s ever
been. So how does the average
Bride and Groom choose which videographers to hire to film their wedding? Should they choose the company that
gives them the cheapest quote? How
much money is too much?
Before you can answer these questions, let’s look at a couple
of important factors.
What’s Your Wedding Video Worth To You?
For a lot of couples, thinking about the wedding video is at
the bottom of the list when planning their wedding. The dress, food, venue, ceremony and photographer are the
things that most couples think about first. By the time they start thinking about the wedding video,
their budget is stretched pretty thin.
Another mistake that most couples make is underestimating
the cost of a good wedding film.
Here’s a great blog post describing why great wedding videos cost what they
do.
But you need to think about what your wedding video is worth
to you. Twenty years from now, you
probably won’t remember what food you had at the wedding. The flowers will be dead and you won’t
remember the name of the person that officiated the ceremony. The framed picture will be the only
thing that will really stand out in your mind.
If you have an amazing wedding video, you’ll find yourself
watching it over and over again.
The wedding video is truly the only thing that will remind you of what
the weather was like that day.
It’s the only thing that will remind you of who was there and what songs
were played at the reception. A
great wedding video is timeless.
So, if you’re the type of person that thinks these things are important,
then finding the right wedding videographer is key and you should spend some
time researching.

Quality of Your Wedding Video
Another factor you need to consider is the quality of the
wedding videographers. The better
the product, the more money you’ll spend.
If you’ve got the money and you want to make sure you get a really
amazing wedding film, you should look for wedding videographers that have a
reputation for good work. Look for
the ones that have won awards for their work. You may even look for companies that aren’t in your area,
and will need to fly them into town for your wedding. When you hire these high-end companies, that’s one less
thing you’ll need to stress about.
If you’re on more of a budget, you’ll need to research
videographers in more detail. Find
the videographers that are in your area, look at their work and check the
comments that people have left.
Think about these two factors when you start looking for
your wedding videographer. Don’t
be alarmed when you get their quote.
Check the quote to see exactly what services they’ll be providing. Make sure they cover the Bride and
Groom getting ready, the ceremony, the reception and all of the important
moments. Gauge the quote by the
quality of their work. Make sure
you know exactly what they’ll be delivering when it’s done. Do they provide DVDs or just a digital
movie file. Your wedding film
should be exciting. Congrats and
good luck!
