How to Choose the Right Wedding Videographer
The days of long, drawn-out wedding videos that feel more like an endurance test than a keepsake are over. You are looking for wedding films that feel alive, personal, and worth watching again and again — not just once before they disappear into a hard drive.
Your wedding video should make you smile, laugh, and maybe even cry, every time you hit play.
If you had to choose between amazing photography or a combination of average photography and average video, the choice is clear: go for the incredible photos.
But if you’re investing in both, you deserve a videographer who will make the film as meaningful as your photo album — something you’ll be proud to share with your family and friends for years to come.
Always present & ready
Choose someone who blends in yet is always there at the right moment, tuned in to the emotions and ready to catch fleeting scenes & little things that make your day yours.
Being “present” isn’t just about standing in the room; it’s about being tuned in to the energy and emotions of the day.
Templates, Slow-mo or Rock n Roll?
Think about your preferred style. Some couples love a template-style film: slow-motion shots, sweeping cinematic sequences, and polished, music-video-like edits.
Others prefer a more artistic, story-driven approach — something that might break from tradition, skip the clichés, and focus instead on genuine storytelling. The latter often feels more personal, less staged, and more timeless. Whichever you choose, make sure it reflects you, not just the videographer’s default formula.
Above all, avoid a wedding film where 80% of the footage is from the couple’s portrait session. While those romantic shots are beautiful, your wedding is so much more.
Family & Friends > Poses
You’ll want to see the faces of your grandparents, the moments when your friends doubled over with laughter, your family clinking glasses, the dance floor in full swing.
Your wedding video isn’t just a recap of the day; it’s a time capsule for your family and friends. People > poses.
When you choose a videographer who understands this, you’re not just hiring someone to point a camera — you’re trusting someone to preserve the feeling of your wedding forever.
