10 Questions to Ask Your Wedding Videographer (Before You Regret Hiring Your Uncle Bob)

Let’s face it—your wedding is not the time for amateur hour. You wouldn’t trust your cousin’s SoundCloud DJ friend to handle the music, so why let your uncle Bob and his 2010 camcorder film your once-in-a-lifetime moment?

Ask These 10 Questions Before Booking

1. Can I see a full-length wedding film?
   Highlight reels are like dating profiles—polished, fun, and filtered. Full films show the real magic (and groomsmen spills).

2. How do you capture audio?
   Vows shouldn’t sound like they were recorded underwater.

3. How do you handle low-light situations?
   Candlelit receptions are dreamy—unless your footage looks like a found-footage horror movie.

4. Do you work well with photographers?
   This isn’t a turf war. You want a dream team, not a duel at sunset.

5. What’s your backup plan if something goes wrong?
   Because “hoping for the best” doesn’t cut it.

6. Can I customize my wedding video package?
   You should only pay for what you want. Like a fun day after session—yes, please.

7. How long will the final video take?
   Will you get it before your anniversary? Or your baby’s first birthday?

8. What’s your filming style?
   Cinematic, documentary, romantic—we’ve got a vibe for everyone.

9. How do you handle awkward moments?
   Flower girl meltdown? We’ll make it look Oscar-worthy.

10. Can I have the raw footage?
    If you want it, ask. It’s not always included.
