There’s no doubt about it. A wedding videographer is a must for your wedding but choosing the right one can be a timely task and should be taken on with a little preparation. Each videographer has a different approach, technique and communication style and while each has its pros and cons, it can take interviewing a few until you find the right one for you and your wedding. While some videographers have a traditional style, some others may be too modern for your taste so it’s important before you interview them that you know what you want. Here are some pointers and tips when choosing a videographer that should make the rest of your wedding process smooth as well.
- The most important question to start the interview off with is, are they available the day of your wedding. If they are, proceed to the other interview questions. If not, find a videographer that can accommodate you on our wedding day.
- What do their past clients say? Can they show you testimonials?
- How many years experience does the videographer have? Is he or she a full time professional videographer?
- Has the videographer filmed in the church and ceremony in the past?
- Ask to see samples of their work. This will tell you a lot about their videographer style and what they will and can do for your video, along with your requests in mind. For example, do you prefer a storytelling, traditional video or a more modern, fast paced style?
- What camera/audio equipment will you use? Do they shoot in high definition or standard definition? Do they use lights? Wireless mics? These are all important questions as this can determine the quality of the finished production.
- Are they discreet when filming? Do they remain in the background or interact with the wedding party?
- Is a deposit required? If so, when?
- How many hours filming does the price include? How much will it cost if I want to go over the allotted time? How to you handle overtime payments?
- How many DVD’s are included in the price? How much for additional DVD’s for family members or friends?
- Will the finished DVD contain chapters? Is there a highlight section? What extra do you provide?
- When can I expect my completed DVD?
These are just a few questions you should as any videographer before booking.
While there may seem to be a lot questions, it’s the most important part of the interview because it’s worth the time it takes to find a videographer that’s right for you. Good luck, have fun and enjoy your wedding!

The Top Ten Things to Look at When Choosing a Wedding Videographer
All brides want every detail to be perfect on their wedding day, especially their wedding videography. A wedding DVD is a video reminder of the entire day and is meant to last an entire lifetime, so only the best wedding videographer will do.
1. Experience. The wedding videographer should be able to say that he or she has been in business for at least a year or more so that you know that he is likely to be there on your own big day.
2. Expertise. Some people manage to get by in business because they are the cheapest or because they are the only one of the kind in the area. You want the videographer who is the best.
3. Satisfied customers. Ask to see a sample of a wedding DVD so that you can see examples of the work and you know that you have the same vision in mind for your own wedding DVD.
4. Friendly staff. A bride may make a list of a million things and occasionally will panic and redo everything. An experienced videographer understands this and is able to deal with the quirks of the nervous bride with professionalism and understanding.
5. State of the art equipment. Knowing that the videographer has the latest equipment is important, So you should check this with your videographer.
6. Availability. A busy videographer is a good thing; one who is so swamped that they can never return a phone call is not.
7. Knowledgeable of the area. A good local videographer will know the best locations for a shot whether they are in Dublin, or anywhere else.
8. Well rounded. A videographer who only shoots wedding videos might be going through the motions and not learning new techniques and new angles.
9. Within your budget. If you are dipping into the honeymoon fund to pay for the videographer, there might be a problem.
10. Eager and excited about his work, even after many years.

Wedding Videographer – Opt for the best!
The wedding videographer that you hire must adhere to certain types of behaviors to do his job well and to make sure that the wedding video is the best that it can possibly be. After all, this wedding will never happen again, and you will never have this day to live over again. The DVD must be done well so that you do not lose a single memory or moment from this glorious day.
So, what do you look for when you are trying to find the best wedding videographer to hire for your own special day?
First, look for someone who has experience. While it is true that everyone must start somewhere, it should not necessarily be on your wedding day. Sure, there are going to be some prodigies that will have a picture perfect first DVD, but those are few and far between.
Don’t settle for shaky camera and fuzzy audio; insist on the best for your own video. Experience does not always mean that the person who has been doing this for the longest is the best person for the job- someone could have been taking wedding videos or photographs for twenty years and still has not figured it out. Which brings us to our second quality, to look for in the right wedding videographer – expertise!
After working for years in the industry, some people will have gathered special skills and education that gives them the competitive edge; others will only do what they can do to get by. Look for those videographers who have high regard from those who have used their services.
Finally, look for an artistic flair from your wedding videographer. Doing this job requires far more than simply pointing a camera in the right direction- there is framing and other considerations to keep in mind as well. A good videographer such as DC Media has all three qualities, experience, expertise and artistic appeal to make the best wedding video possible. With Irish Wedding Films on your side, you have nothing to worry about where your wedding DVD is concerned.
