Our videographer made a mistake...

The Sealpups, on December 5, 2019 at 11:52 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15
We just got our video back- everything was great! We got all the footage and the highlights video. The only thing we noticed was that he put the wrong wedding date.


Would it be a hassle to tell him the mistake and have him fix it?

    No, you should definitely tell him.

    Why would you even consider having the wrong wedding date on your wedding video?? Of course tell him! He messed it up, it's his job to fix it.

    It definitely shouldn't be an issue. He should still have the file where he can just go in and fix it, reload the video and send it to you. They should always be prepared for changes, especially if it's their own mistake.

    You paid for the service and for the correct date. This is a big day for you two! Definitely ask him to correct it, it won’t be hassle, it’s part of the job.

    Agree with others, and I would think this should be a VERY simple edit. It's not like he has to re-do the whole film, just do a quick fix on the caption. Good luck!

    Agree with PP's, definitely reach out to him to correct it. He shouldn't mind at all!

    I’ve got a background in video editing, this is a super simple change (literally just like changing a date on a Word document) and then he’ll have to re-export—but that’s a task that runs in the background. 100% ask him to fix.

    Definitely let him know! It should be an easy, quick fix.

    Thank you!


    I was planning on asking him but I hate being a bridezilla after the wedding. Since you have that background, would this be rude? There's a scene that's less than 30 seconds in our feature that is shot BEAUTIFULLY during our reception. It shows the backdrop of the view during dinner and it was NOT included in our highlight video. Would it be rude to ask him to replace a scene with those water view shots?

    That’s also not a terribly difficult edit. I think it’s definitely fair to ask for that switch. I would just frame it as a “I love XX shot a lit, can we replace ZZ shot in the highlight film with it.”

    That's a pretty big deal! Don't feel bad for reaching out and gently notifying him

    I would absolutely tell him. And say exactly what you said here "we love it and are so happy but we noticed there is an error in the ate can you change it to read xx.xx.xxxx"
