Choosing Between NYC Wedding Videographers

With so many talented wedding videographers to pick from, narrowing down your options can be tough. It’s worth taking the time to find a great one, however, because the video montage of your wedding will remind you of the best moments from your Big Day and show you the special moments you might have missed. It’s also nice to have a video so you can share your special day with loved ones who couldn’t be there. One of the best ways to find a wedding videographer in NYC is to ask friends and family for recommendations. You can also browse WeddingWire’s listings and read reviews of videographers (along with NYC wedding photographers and other vendors) to find the right one for your wedding.

The Questions You Should Be Asking

Once you’ve identified some wedding videographers in NYC that look promising, it’s time to start reaching out. The obvious first question you need to ask is whether they’re available on your wedding date. If the answer is yes, it’s time to dig deeper. You should ask whether they shoot documentary or cinematic style videos or something else, how they’ll choose the music for your video, what equipment they’ll use, and how long it will take for them to deliver the final product. Do they have more videos you can view and a referral you can contact directly? And don’t forget to ask how much prospective videographers charge and what you’ll receive in return. Just be aware that chances are you’ll spend more for the services of a wedding videographer in NYC than you would in most other parts of the country.

It’s About More Than Just the Wedding

Unlike the wedding videographers in the early days of home video, today’s wedding videographers in NYC and elsewhere don’t just film the ceremony and reception. A great videographer will turn your wedding day into a cinematic event — one that might even include a re-enactment of your proposal. If there are elements you want included in your wedding video, like the altar reaction, a private first look, or footage of you spending time with your parents before the ceremony, make sure you let your videographer know that’s important to you ahead of time.
