The Top 5 Questions You Should Ask Your Wedding Videographer

Hiring a wedding videographer is one of the most meaningful investments you’ll make in your wedding day. Years from now, your photos will show you what the day looked like — but your wedding film will remind you what the day felt like.

The voices, the laughter, the movement, the vows, and the emotion all come alive again through wedding videography.

But with so many wedding videographers out there — and such a wide range of styles, quality, and pricing — how do you know who truly fits your vision?

Here are the top five questions you should ask your wedding videographer before booking them, along with why each question matters.

🎥 1. What is your filming style, and can I see full examples?

Every videographer has a unique creative voice. Some lean cinematic and emotional, while others are more documentary and real. Some focus heavily on storytelling, while others stick to straightforward coverage.

When talking to a videographer, ask:

• How do you describe your style?

• Do you focus more on candid moments, cinematic visuals, or storytelling?

• Can we see full-length films, not just highlight reels?
  

Why this matters: Highlight films are beautiful, but they only show the “best” moments. A full wedding film reveals how your videographer handles lighting, audio, pacing, transitions, speeches, vows, and real-time moments. It’s the truest representation of their work.

💬 2. How do you capture vows and audio throughout the day?

Beautiful visuals are only half of a great wedding film. Audio is the heart of your story.

Ask your videographer:

• What microphones do you use for vows and speeches?

• Do you record backup audio?

• Will you mic both partners?

• How do you handle windy or noisy environments (common in Michigan)?
  

Why this matters: Clear, emotional audio brings your wedding film to life. You want your promises, laughter, and speeches to sound warm and intimate — not echoey, muffled, or distorted. The better your sound quality is, the better your wedding day memories will be preserved.

📦 3. What’s included in your wedding packages?

Every videographer structures their packages differently. Some films include:

• Full-day coverage

• A highlight film

• A feature documentary film

• Drone footage

• Full ceremony edit

• Full speeches edit

• Social media edits

• Raw footage

Ask:

• How many hours of coverage do we get?

• How many videographers?

• What edits are included?

• What optional add-ons do you offer?

Why this matters: You want to be sure the package covers every part of the day that’s important to you — from getting ready to the last dance.

🕊️ 4. How do you work with photographers and other vendors on the wedding day?

Your videographer and photographer will work side-by-side all day. Their ability to collaborate is essential for smooth coverage.

Ask:

• Do you coordinate shots with photographers?

• How do you avoid getting in each other’s way?

• Do you communicate ahead of time with the photographer?

Why this matters: A cooperative photographer and videographer team creates a stress-free experience and more beautiful footage.

📅 5. How do you back up our footage, and how do you protect our memories?

This is one of the most important — and overlooked — questions you can ask.

Ask your videographer:

• How many backup copies do you create?

• Where do you store our footage?

• Do you use dual memory cards?

• How long do you keep our files?

Why this matters: Your wedding film is irreplaceable. A professional videographer should have multiple layers of backup, both on the day and during editing.

Those are the top 5 questions you should ask your wedding videographer.

But for a bonus...

❤️ Bonus Question: What makes you different from other videographers?

This question reveals two crucial things:

1. How the videographer approaches storytelling

2. Whether their values align with yours

Wedding videography is personal. Your filmmaker should be someone who cares about your story as much as you do.

🎬 Why These Questions Matter

Your wedding videographer isn’t just another vendor — they’re the person responsible for preserving your memories for the rest of your life.

By asking the right questions, you’ll feel confident, excited, and fully connected to the person capturing your story.

And when you find the right fit, you don’t just get a wedding film…You get a legacy piece your family will treasure forever.
