Your wedding is going to be the most special day of your life to date, so why not document it in as many ways as possible? Here is some advice when booking your wedding video supplier:

  1. Always meet up with the person who will be there on the day. - You need to feel relaxed with the person who is filming your wedding and that person should know exactly what you are looking for in your wedding video.
  2. View examples of previous DVD's. - Ask for a showreel, your wedding video supplier should be proud to show off their work.
  3. Choose your music wisely. - The music you choose really affects the whole feel of your video, and a good mix of upbeat music and softer romantic songs can make the difference between a video that is entertaining to watch and one that will sit on a shelf.
  4. Speak to your registrars/church. - Nowadays most churches and registrars are fine with people videoing your wedding. But some churches only allow one camera and have strict rules as to where that person can stand. If there are going to be any issues, it's better to find them out before your wedding rather than on the day. Many churches also charge for the privilege of having your service filmed, make sure you find out before the day.
  5. Don't leave it until the last minute to book. Summer weekends especially get booked up early. If you've already left it late it's still worth a try, but booking as early as possible will give you the best choice of wedding videographers.
  6. Don't worry about feeling self conscious on film. There's so much else going on that you probably won't even notice the cameras on the day.
  7. Do give your videographer a detailed itinerary as soon as you can so they know the times and order of your Big Day, and if either of you are planning a surprise for the other, let your videographer know in advance.
  8. Don't take the risk of using an amateur to record one of the most important days of your life. Chances are you'll regret it when you watch the result.
  9. Do see the video as an investment - the flowers, the cake, the dress and so many other details you'll have spent so much time and money on are just for the day, but video lasts a lifetime.
  10. Book The Big Day Productions to film your wedding!
