Your Joy, Our Focus
Okay, love, let’s get down to it. You’re trusting this person to capture some of the most important moments of your life, so these questions will help you figure out if they’re your people. Ready? Let’s do this!
Step one: check the calendar! No matter how much you vibe with their work, if they’re booked, it’s a no-go. So, let’s make sure they’re free to party with you!
This one’s deep! You want someone who’s in love with telling stories, not just someone adding another gig to their resume. Are they as obsessed with capturing your big moments as you are with experiencing them? That’s what we’re looking for!
Okay, but seriously—do they still get those butterflies when they film weddings? Or has it become just another day at the office? You want someone who gets excited to be a part of your love story!
Does it matter? Not always. But it can! Full-timers tend to have faster turnaround times, but part-timers can still bring all the heart. Just check that they’re giving you their full attention.
You’re looking for someone who’s been around the wedding block but still fresh enough to bring new ideas. Less than 20 weddings? Maybe a bit green. Over 20? You’re in safe hands!
Whether it’s a one-person show or a full crew, both can work magic (no, not real magic—just the video kind). You just need to know what to expect!
Alright, now let’s talk shop. These questions will make sure you know exactly what you’re getting when you book them.
No one likes a mystery box. The best videographers will want to know your story first, then talk packages that fit your vibe. Let’s see what’s on the menu!
You want a film that screams you. So, make sure it’s not a cookie-cutter job. Ask if they put your personality and story into every frame!
Watch out for the clock-watchers! You want someone who’s there for the memories, not just counting down the hours. And don’t forget to check on overtime charges—surprises here are no fun.
Drones are cool and all, but maybe not during your vows! Make sure they know the right time and place to get those epic aerial shots. And uh, do they have a license for that thing?
Crystal clear vows? Epic speeches? Make sure they’ve got the audio gear to match their visuals. Because your “I do” should be heard, not drowned out by wind or chatter!
If they’re bringing along a sidekick, ask who they are and what they’ll be doing. The more hands, the merrier (and more angles)!
Nobody’s perfect, and sometimes you’ll want tweaks. You need someone who’s cool with a little back-and-forth to make your video just right. Minor changes shouldn’t come with major fees!
Digital, USB, or cinematic reel? Just make sure you know how you’ll be watching your day unfold. Oh, and ask if they charge extra for those extra copies!
When you’re dying to relive your day, the last thing you want is radio silence. Get a clear timeline, and maybe some sneak peeks along the way!

Okay, now for the fun stuff! These questions help make sure your wedding video looks exactly how you want it to.
This one’s fun—get them to dream a little. If their style aligns with your vision, that’s a big win!
Music can make or break the mood of your film. Make sure they’ve got the taste to match yours (and don’t forget to ask about licensing if you’ve got a special song in mind!).
You want someone who matches your style—whether that’s beautifully posed shots or all the candid, caught-in-the-moment feels.
Color sets the tone! Check out their previous work to see if their vibe matches yours. You don’t want a vintage wash if you’re all about bright and bold!
And that’s a wrap! These questions will help you find a videographer who gets your vision and fits right in with your wedding day dream team. Need a little more help? You know we’re here for you! Let’s chat and make your wedding video something you’ll actually want to watch on repeat.
