Questions to Ask a Wedding Videographer

If you have yet to hire a professional videographer for your wedding, we can help simplify the process. Here are some pivotal questions to ask if you want your video to be as magical as you envisioned. 

1. Will you be available to shoot my wedding day?

Wedding videographers are in high demand, especially during peak season. So, you have to check the availability and block the dates ASAP. That’s the first question to ask them, whether they will be available on the given dates. Once that’s out of the way, you can get ahead with the other details before sealing the deal.  

2. Do you have a wedding videography style?

Wedding videographers are in high demand, especially during peak season. So, you have to check the availability and block the dates ASAP. That’s the first question to ask them, whether they will be available on the given dates. Once that’s out of the way, you can get ahead with the other details before sealing the deal.  

3. Can you share the portfolio of your recent projects, preferably a wedding you shot in Oahu?

You are not hiring just any wedding videographer. Your destination wedding needs someone with prior experience of shooting in that place. So, before hiring, make sure that you check the portfolio and ask how many weddings they have covered on the island. Discuss the setting you are thinking for your day. While checking the portfolio, see if it is what you want in your film. A few other factors to assess are the creativity of the professional, the use of storytelling elements, and technical skills. 

4. Do you have proper audio support?

The right audio support, mixing, and editing infuse life in a mundane wedding video. Otherwise, it’s just a montage of beautiful shots. Without the right sound, the storytelling is incomplete. So, make a note here! Don’t forget to inquire if the wedding videographer has adequate audio support for full coverage throughout the day.

5. What’s included in your wedding videography package? Can you give a pricing breakdown?

You should start your search for a wedding videographer with a budget in mind. These professionals typically offer multiple packages to cater to the clients’ differing budgets. The pricing will vary based on travel, hours, and the number of people involved in filming the wedding, as well as sound mixing and editing. It is a must that you ask for a breakdown so there are no hidden costs.
