5 Things Every Couple Should Know Before Booking Their Wedding Videographer (From a Pro Who's Seen It All! 🎥)
Hey there, soulmates! 💑 Samuel aka Sam here from Foree Films. After capturing countless "I dos" and happy tears in Louisville and beyond, I've learned a thing or two about what makes wedding videography truly special. Before you hit that "book now" button with any videographer, here are five essential things you need to know!
Raw Footage Isn't Everything (But It's Important!) Listen up, future Mr. & Mrs! While those raw, unedited clips might seem super important right now, what you'll truly treasure is a beautifully crafted film that tells your love story. At Foree Films, we offer both our artistic edit AND raw footage options, but here's the real tea: professional editing is where the magic happens! 🪄
Audio Is the Secret MVP Y'all, here's something most couples don't think about: sound quality is EVERYTHING! Your vows, the crack in dad's voice during his speech, your bestie's hilarious toast – these precious moments deserve crystal-clear audio. Pro tip: Make sure your videographer has multiple audio recording systems (we always do! 🎤).
Experience Matters More Than Gear Sure, fancy cameras are great (and we've got them!), but what really counts is the person behind the lens. Ask about your videographer's experience with weddings specifically. Wedding days move FAST, and you need someone who can anticipate those special moments before they happen!
Timeline Planning Is Crucial Here's the deal: great wedding films need time! When you're planning your big day, chat with your videographer about timing. We love working with your photographer to ensure everyone gets those perfect shots without turning your wedding day into a photo shoot marathon! ⏰
Chemistry Is Key Last but definitely not least – make sure you vibe with your videographer! You'll be spending one of the most important days of your life with them. At Foree Films, we love getting to know our couples (usually over coffee or a good bourbon 🥃) before the big day. Trust me, when you're comfortable with your videographer, it shows in the final film!
Bonus Tip (Because I Love Y'all!): Book early! The best videographers (especially in Louisville!) get booked up to a year in advance. Once you find your perfect match, don't wait to secure your date!
