Capturing Memories
Q | We're considering booking a videographer but are unsure what to look for. Do you have any tips? |
A | Zoe Fawkner says: Your wedding day is, one can argue, the biggest day of your life. You want your wedding videographer to complement your day, including meeting your style preferences. Conduct some research into the type of video style you like. Do you want a short video with all the best bits of your day or an entire film lasting over an hour with a trailer? Secondly, take notes on the style of videos you like. Many videographers have different filming and editing techniques, which is very important when choosing a videographer. Meeting your videographer before the wedding day, even if it's just over a video call, can significantly ease any pre-wedding jitters. Getting to know them and their work style can make them feel more like friends, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident on your big day. Regarding where to find a videographer, asking for recommendations through friends and family is one way of knowing that the person you book has been trusted by someone you also trust. You can also join Facebook groups for local wedding suppliers. My final tip is to find someone who makes you feel relaxed. You don't want somebody who is stressed, as you'll be doing enough of that already. They're the expert and should make you feel comfortable and confident that everything is going smoothly. |

Q | What questions should we ask a videographer before booking them for our wedding? |
A | Jagmeet Khalsa says: Finding the right videographer for your wedding is important; after all, the day will never repeat itself. Here are some things you should ask them before you book: First, ask to see their finished videos, not just what they show on social media or their website, as it might be different from what was delivered. See if you can read reviews from other couples who hired them. This can give you an idea of what working with them will be like. It's also smart to ask how they keep your wedding videos safe from things like computer problems or theft. Another thing to talk about is how they work on a wedding day. Some videographers like to stay in the background and capture things as they happen, while others might want to direct scenes, etc. Knowing how they work will help you decide if they're a good fit for you. |
