So our photographer is actually a friend of mine, so to make life easier and just so we didn’t have to worry about making sure we got a good video of our ceremony, I asked him if he could recommend a videographer who would inexpensively just film our 30 minute ceremony and send us the raw footage. He did recommend someone, and put her in contact with me. She sent me a quote last night.
The problem? I looked up her portfolio, and her videos are so... bad. She messes up the most basic things. Her camera work is wobbly. She makes awkward cuts. Her angles are unflattering. I seriously could have a guest film the ceremony with a cellphone and it would probably come out better. I feel terrible saying this, but I just can’t bring myself to hire her because she’s not going to do a good job! But now I’ve gotten myself into a tricky situation since she is the friend of my photographer friend...
Help, what can I tell both of them as to why I’m not using her?
Obviously I can’t just tell them that I didn’t think she was good...
