15 questions to ask your wedding videographer before you book

A great consultation tells you more than a portfolio ever will. These are the questions we would ask if we were hiring a wedding videographer ourselves. Any studio worth booking should answer them clearly and happily.

About their work

1. Can I watch three complete films from weddings like mine?
2. How would you describe your style, and how is the story built in the edit?
3. Have you filmed at my venue or in my culture's traditions before?

About the day

1. Who exactly will be filming, and how many cinematographers will there be?
2. How do you record vows, speeches and live music?
3. How do you work alongside our photographer and planner?
4. Do you use drones or aerial coverage, and are you licensed?
5. What happens if a crew member is sick on the day?

About delivery

1. What films will we receive, and how long is each?
2. How long does editing take?
3. Is the music licensed, or can we commission original music?
4. How is footage backed up, and for how long is it kept?

About booking

1. What is included in the price, and what costs extra?
2. What is the deposit, and what is the payment schedule?

If a studio cannot explain how they will tell your story, they probably will not.

Many of these are answered in our FAQ. For pricing, read our wedding videographer cost guide, then come ask us the rest in person.
