Choosing your Videographer

After viewing a quality wedding video, you will realize the importance of selecting an experienced professional videographer. Ask the following questions:

• If a single videographer, is he full time or part time?
• Is he shooting the video personally or will he be sending someone else
• How many weddings have they done??
• Can you view your sample of their work? (Ask for a complete wedding project video, not a 10 minute sample).
• Do you have a back up videographer in case of illnes?
• Can they produce a two-camera shoot?
• Can they work well with the photographer?
• What format do you use for production? Digital, DVCAM?
• Do they offer DVD with menus and chapters?
• DVD is the highest quality format of production today. For high quality DVD the bit rate should be 7 or higher.
• Do they have various packages? and what is the hourly rate, should they require additional time.
• Read the contract carefully, and ask questions.
