All Wedding Videos Are Not Created Equal.

Just like wedding photographers, videographers take different approaches to their craft. Documentary-style videos present the events chronologically, without many special effects, while a cinematic film is generally more dramatic, using interesting angles for a Hollywood-movie feel (these are just two options of many). "You don't want to select a cinematographer with one style and send them clips from another videographer with a totally different style. Just hire the one you like!" says Jenn, Cinematic editor for skymediafilmz.com. 

All wedding videos are not created equal. When you're watching sample videos, there are a few things to keep top of mind. A good film will be well lit, have easy-to-understand audio and appropriate music, and be edited so that transitions are smooth and special effects complement the story.  

Even if you feel like you've found the perfect fit such as skymediaflimz, you should still do your due diligence such as reading opinions online. Ask questions like: Did they capture the most important parts of your wedding? Was he a positive presence throughout the day? Overall, were you happy with the final film? 

Weddings of Note:    You're hiring someone for their experience and talent (not just their equipment). Trust your decision. On the day of, you shouldn't feel like you need to direct them or keep your eye on them. If you've truly done your research and fully vetted your videographer, you should have complete confidence in them.
