Things that You Should Know Before Booking a Wedding Cinematographer/Videographer
Let’s face it finding a wedding cinematographer is tough. There are many styles and many companies that offer this service. The real question is how do you know that you are getting a good service for your money. In this blog I will discuss a couple of things that you should know the answers to before booking your wedding cinematographer.
We hire our cinematographers to capture all the memories that are seen and unseen from our wedding day, and one service that can be added to add value for you on your wedding day is the wedding cinematographer/videographer offering raw film on a ssd drive. It is easy to think what good is this, but there are so many important people in your life attending your wedding day. We all never know the length of time anybody will be on this earth, so having all of the raw footage of the entire wedding day allows you to have some films with all of your most important people to look back on and pass on to your family. It is also important to know what kind of drive your raw footage will be loaded onto, as a hard drive is not as stable and efficient as a solid-state drive. The end result is that if you get raw footage on a solid-state drive (ssd) you will have more assurances that your precious memories will be stored safely for you to pass on.
Client experience is probably the most important part of hiring a wedding cinematographer/wedding videographer. Is your wedding cinematographer/wedding videographer going to add more stress to your wedding day or is he going to add ease and joy to your day? There is something to be said of having a wedding cinematographer/wedding videographer that is actually a real person that is able to not just make your wedding day a great day but they can make your wedding day an over the top fun experience full of laughter and fun. You are going to want to meet this cinematographer and see how you vibe with them. If they are always making you feel uncomfortable you do not want them their on that day. Everything boils down to how are they going to help enhance and ease your wedding day. This is why you hire them.
Every wedding cinematographer/wedding videographer has set packages in place, but are they able to transcend past that and make sure you get the package that makes you so happy and thrilled you cannot help but book them. No couple is the same which is why the preset packages are good should just be a base for you to start your wedding package, but to really add value you should ask about any add-ons they have to add to your wedding package and to get the most out of your wedding package. Some people have documentary films they also create to have every part of your day captured in a cinematic feel. There is so much more such as drone coverage as well. The list of add-ons go on and on but the customization of your package would definitely be something you should look into.
Remember this is your wedding day, and it only comes once in your lifetime. You want the wedding cinematographer/wedding videographer there to add value and curate an amazing experience for you. Make sure the vibe is right and you get package that is stuffed full of things you absolutely want for your wedding day. Ultimately you know what you want now the thing to do is to allow people to show you how they can enhance your wedding day.
