Wedding Videographers Suppliers

Similar to your photographer, you should hire your wedding videographer about 10 to 12 months prior to your wedding date. They tend to get booked up to a year in advance, so if you want to hire your first choice, we recommend starting your search early.

Whether or not you can choose the music in your wedding video depends largely on the videographer. Each videographer may have their own way of doing things, choosing the music being one of them. So, ask your videographer before you hire them if this is important to you. If they don't allow you to choose the music or if there are certain limitations, ask them to show you all the options available.

Typically, couples hire one videographer to capture their big day. That said, you may want one more if you have a large or longer wedding. This is something you should definitely consult with the videographers you get in touch with. They will be able to guide you and give you an idea of how many videographers you may need according to your needs.

Videographers can offer an array of formats for your wedding video. They may provide some or all of the following delivery channels for your wedding video: Vimeo, USB, DVD, blu-ray, Dropbox, an external hard drive or other methods.

Couples are getting more and more creative when it comes to the wedding video. That said, some of the most in demand wedding videos are: pre wedding videos, post wedding videos, documentary style video that captures every moment, same day edit that is ready the day after your wedding, highlight videos, which are short and sweet, cinematic style videos, which tell a story, video clips where music plays an important role, and artistic style videos, where you can let your creative juices flow. As you can see, the sky is the limit.

Broadly speaking, you can expect to receive your wedding video from one month to eight months after your wedding date. The videographer will need time to edit and perfect your video. The time frame depends largely on the style of your wedding video.

It is certainly recommended that before your wedding you meet your videographer, and all of your wedding suppliers for that matter. The best place to meet is at your venue. That way, the videographer can get an idea of the kind of shots he/she can take and any equipment he/she may need to make the best video of your wedding.

The number of hours the videographer will stay largely depends on whether they charge by the hour or by wedding event. It is ideal that they stay for the duration of your wedding celebration or at least the biggest moments, so if you are paying by the hour, go over your wedding programme and make sure that the hours you are considering hiring them for will cover those moments. If the videographer charges by event, it's still a good idea to go over the timeline of your day to receive their confirmation.
