I spent only $300 on what I got and I wish I had taken Beebala's husband up on his offer instead. My videographer did not capture my speeches and while I did love some of the stuff he did and footage he got, he also took alot of things that I would not have cared to really have. So I guess what I am trying to say is be very clear with what you want and what you expect out of your videographer so you don't end up dissapointed with all the money you spent on it. I did end up being able to order all the footage that he took that day but I ended up having to pay extra for it so who knows maybe he took some stuff that I will really end up loving but what went into the video is not really us...you need a videographer that will reflect you guys as a couple. I have already watched my wedding video about 20 times because in all honesty I did not slow down enough to enjoy the day and much of it is a blur so it is really cool to sit down and watch everyone's reactions and how you reacted...you can see my wedding video at www.1redshoe.com click on portfolio and scroll down to Sara & Greg. |
Just curios - what was the videographer shooting when you were doing your speech?
Agree with you completely that communication with the videographer on what you want is very important as everyone expects different things. However, since we are not experts in videography, it is difficult to express what we want or might not know what we really want. I think it is the videographer's responsibility to ask the right questions to find out what the customer wants. There is no room for mistakes as this is one of the most important events in our lives!
