Interview Questions
How much do your packages cost?
The higher the price doesn’t necessarily equate to a better wedding photo and video. Some companies have been in business for years, some venues only approve a small list of vendors, some wedding photographers and videographers are the only shooters in an area- these are just some of the reasons wedding photography or videography costs so much.
Are there any fees not included?
Taxes or travel? Gas, tolls, mileage all need to be covered. Some wedding photographers and wedding videographers charge extra for more than one location. Everybody shooting needs a hot meal! Find out what you are paying for, so you don’t get stuck with an unexpected bill on top of your package.
How many cameras do you shoot with?
Shooting with one camera can spell disaster. So make sure your wedding photographer and videographer has a back up or second stationary camera to ensure a seamless edit.
Do you have insurance?
Someone could bump into the wedding cake, someone could spill a drink on the DJ booth, someone could be eaten by a crocodile while doing yoga poses. The chance of disaster is small but, it could happen. Ask for a COI so if something does happen, you can rest easy knowing your wedding photographer and wedding videographer have you fully covered.
How do you record sound?
Cameras are great for capturing high quality visuals of your wedding. However, camera audio is not high quality. Our videographers plug a sound recorder into the DJ booth or put lapel mics on the groom or officiant. This way, when you watch your wedding video, you hear the speeches and vows, not a camera clicking or servers picking up dishes. Make sure your wedding videographer records audio with at least one external recorder!
What exactly am I walking away with?
Make sure you are extremely clear on everything in the package and contract. Feel empowered to ask questions! Set your own expectations!
What’s the turn around on wedding photo and wedding video?
Is it different in the busy months? Our turn around time is about 3-4 months!
Do you have any promotions going?
Save some dough and ask about promotions.
What size is your company?
There are three different sizes of wedding video companies in the world: small, medium, and gigantic- each size has its own pros and cons. For instance, if your wedding photographer or videographer get sick, can they send a backup? Do they edit everything or do they have editors working for them? How does their company ensure quality control if they have associates? Our associates go through a rigorous training and they arrive to your wedding equipped with our expert shotlist.
