9 Things To Tell Your Wedding Videographer

Once you’ve selected your award-worthy wedding videographer (cue the standing ovation!), there are a few key details you’ll want to share with them to ensure a smooth and seamless filming process.

1) Provide them with the contact details of your venue and if you have one, your on the day co-ordinator. They can help your videographer if there are any problems setting up.

2) If you feel very passionately about a particular song being included in your wedding film, let your videographer know early on, so that they can adjust accordingly.

3) It’s always a great idea to give your videographer a face sheet with all the key people you want featured in your wedding film. That way, no one important gets left out—because let’s be honest, forgetting the Mother of the Bride wouldn’t go over too well!

4) Let them know the dress code. Think of your wedding videographer as a guest; he or she will have to blend in seamlessly with everyone else at your reception! You can pass on dress code advice here.

5) Introduce them to your wedding photographer. The two of them will be working in tandem so it’s best if they meet before the big day. This way you can make sure they will get along and work together to provide you with the best footage you can get.

6) Introduce them to the Best Man and/or the Maid of Honour, to whom they can direct any questions on your wedding day. (Trust us, you won’t want to be distracted!)

7) If they want to use a drone (which looks absolutely epic), check if your wedding venue has any restrictions in regards to this.

8) Provide them with an order of service, so that they know where they should be and when for all the important moments of the day.

9)Lastly, if you’ve planned a special surprise for your wedding and want to make sure it’s caught on film, give your videographer a heads-up! Some moments are just too good to miss.
