Planning your film

Decide what you want to watch in five years. Some couples love a three-minute highlight, others want a documentary that includes every toast. Ask to see samples of each style, and be clear about music, as licensing can limit which songs appear in a film.

Think about who might speak and where you will stand, because sound is the hardest part of wedding video. Ask whether the videographer uses microphones for vows and speeches. If you want drone footage, check the venue allows it, since some properties and event spaces restrict flights.

In the Blue Ridge foothills, ceremonies often take place outdoors on farms and in vineyards, so ask how the videographer handles wind noise and changing light. Find out how many hours of coverage you need, and when the finished film will be delivered.
