1. Experience and Knowledge

Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime day.  You don’t want to hand the responsibility of filming this day to an amateur.  Make sure that your videographer is very experienced and is not a “fly by night videographer ”.

It is very important to know what your videographer’s ability is before hiring him or her.

Do you like how the Videographer edited the DVD?

Are there apparent mistakes?

Does the audio/music sound clear?   

3. Style

Each videographer has his or her own unique style.  Make sure that your videographer’s style suits your wants. Think about this as your watching the videographer’s Sample DVD.
