Are you searching for a wedding videographer and unsure of what to ask? Travis Monroe of Monroe Film and Photo recently highlighted common questions to ask wedding videographers on our YouTube channel.
How Much Coverage Do We Need?
Coverage needs vary, but Monroe Film and Photo offers 8-hour and 10-hour packages. An 8-hour package typically covers from 12:30 to 8:30, targeting 30 minutes before the first look through the first dances. The 10-hour package adds extra time for capturing more details of getting ready or extending coverage to later evening events like bouquet tosses or special dances. Determine what type of hours you are getting and what the videographer typically records during that time frame.
What Type of Deliverables Are We Getting?
Most videographers offer a highlight trailer. Monroe Film and Photo includes a documentary edit of the full ceremony, grand march, speeches, and first dances in their packages. Clarify what edits are included and if there are extra charges for additional edits.
What is RAW Footage?
Raw footage is unedited and may require video editing knowledge to make it look its best. Understand what you're getting and if you're comfortable editing it. Some companies may not release raw footage.
How Many Videographers Will Be There?
Monroe Film and Photo typically uses one videographer who uses multiple cameras for major events. This approach allows them to blend in and capture the day in a documentary style. Some companies may have two or three shooters, offering a more extensive production feel. Consider your preference for the wedding day's atmosphere.
Will We Have Drone Footage?
Drone footage availability varies among companies. Monroe Film and Photo includes it in their video packages, but it's conditional based on weather and location restrictions (e.g., proximity to airports). Safety is a priority. If drone footage is important, inquire about its availability and any associated conditions.
How Will You Capture Audio?
Good audio is essential. Videographers use various methods, such as miking the groom and officiant and getting a DJ line feed. Monroe Film and Photo uses multiple audio sources as backup. If you have specific audio you want to be highlighted, such as letters read to each other, communicate this to your videographer.
What About Music?
Monroe Film and Photo selects music that fits your style and offers choices. However, securing music rights is crucial. Mainstream music may not always be available due to licensing restrictions. Discuss music preferences and the videographer's access to different music platforms.
