1. What's special about your wedding videos?

The quality of wedding films differs drastically. It can be like comparing David Dickinson to George Clooney; good tans and full heads of hair don't make them equally appealing. Always ask to see a full wedding DVD version of at least two weddings the wedding videographers have filmed. Don't be fooled by a few pretty shots on a showreel or an Institute Of Videography logo; do your own research.

2. What is included in the package price?

The package is all important. Decide what you would really like to be filmed and ask for it. There will never be another chance to capture those moments. A good videographer should be accommodating and understand if you decide you don't want the bride's preparations filmed but do want the groom walking to the church. It's all about being clear and flexible and open to negotiation.

3. Can we choose our own NYC wedding videographer?

Music you love should direct the pace and feel of your film so make sure it's your choices influencing your film, if you're not sure ask for suggestions and look at the music the videographer uses on their DVD's. Some will not give you flexibility, but the price they charge will reflect this. You can't expect miracles if you're only paying a few hundred pounds.

4. How soon after our wedding will we receive our wedding video?

This can vary from 4 to 12 weeks. During this time your wedding videographer should take great care over the attention to detail in picking out the best shots, colour correcting and sound mixing.

5. What if some of our guests really don't want to be filmed?

Make this clear to your videographer and if you can provide photos in advance. Equally make sure they know exactly who should be in the film, you don't want to watch your day 2 months later and find there's no shots of your granddad.

6. How many cameras will you use to film our day?

This makes a huge difference to the type of film you will be getting. Relying on one camera can limit the amount of footage your film will include. Multi-camera films will capture a great deal more of your day; the extra details, friends, family and many moments you would have missed.
