When it comes to choosing a wedding videographer, many couples are either on the fence about it in the first place, or have no idea who they should hire and why. First off, hiring a photographer does not replace the need for a videographer and it is one of the most common regrets for couples that skip out on videography. It is definitely worth hiring a videographer if you want to have your wedding day captured.
So Who Should I Hire?
There are several things to consider when looking to hire a videographer. The main factors are: style, quality, and budget. These factors also don't necessarily need to be decided before your search begins; you can always figure it out as you go. After looking at the work of different videographers, you can begin to decide on who you like (and why), and how much you want to spend for their work. The biggest mistake you can make when asking for videography quotes is to not look at the work from various videographers- how else are you going to know the value of one videographer compared to another? It is not always about how much you get in terms of hours of filming, final videos, etc. The reason why videography prices vary greatly is because of the quality of work and the style.
Investing in wedding videography is something that isn't always an easy process and can be overwhelming if you don't know what you want. However, it should become easier and easier the more you look around. Videography/editing is a lot more complicated than most people realize; there is a big difference between a simple wedding video and a polished wedding film, so investing in a good videographer is definitely worth it.
