Once you’ve locked in your award-worthy wedding videographer (round of applause, please!), there are a few important details you’ll want to share to make sure the filming process runs smoothly.
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 smart move to give your videographer a face sheet with all the key people you want in your wedding film. That way, no one special gets left ou — because let’s be real, forgetting the Mother of the Bride wouldn’t exactly go down 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 got a special surprise planned for your wedding and want to make sure it’s captured on film, give your videographer a heads-up! Some moments are simply too good to miss.
