NYC Wedding Videographers

We are going to state this very plainly: do not let your wedding day pass by without having a videographer capture all of your special moments and more. We guarantee you that you and your fiancée will be more than happy when you have the chance to view a mini-movie of all of your events. If, that is, you hire a professional to shoot your wedding. And this is key, do not let your Uncle Harry or Cousin Vinnie convince you that they recently received a great video camera for their birthday and that shooting your wedding will be a piece of cake. Talk about disaster written all over it. No, you have plenty of professional videographers to pick from in the NYC area, so take advantage of it. Find a number of potential videographers and schedule a time to meet. Then, ask them the questions we have provided below. We promise you that the answers they give will lead you to the right professional for you.

We suggest that you start your research by getting onto YouTube or Vimeo and watching some sample wedding footage of local videographers. For those that catch your eye as being exceptional, setup a meeting time to interview them. Talk about their experience. How long have they been filming weddings? How many have they done in the last year? An experienced videographer who knows what they are doing will understand which moments are important to capture. They also will have expertise in editing your footage down to a polished final package.

Get them to describe their style to you. Is it more documentary, cinematic or both? Once they describe and define their style, you need to determine whether that style aligns with what you like and want. Ask to see samples and that includes a couple of full capture films, not just the finished videos. This should give you a sense of how they work and whether you like the way their mind operates. How much input can you have in the process? If you really have your heart set on certain aspects being there, talk about now and see if that would get in the way of the videographers vision.

How much are they going to cost you? Ah, the all important question. Most videographers charge a flat fee based on the number of hours they will be working on your project. If they have packages available, find one that seems to suit you and go over what all is included in the package. If there is anything missing that you really have your heart set on, bring it up and see what they might be willing to do for you. One thing that we highly recommend that you have included in the services provided is a second shooter. There is no way that one individual videographer will be able to capture everything that you want without having another person there concentrating on specific happenings. Well, this is a good start for you. After discussing all of the above issues, you should have a good sense of which videographer is the professional who will be able to provide you with the most amazing movie of your wedding day. When you feel that way, go ahead and sign that contract.
