Questions to Ask Your Wedding Videographer
10 Questions Every Bride Should Ask Her Videographer Before Booking

I asked everybody I knew who got married if they booked a videographer while I was planning my wedding. It was the big "maybe we will, maybe we won't" vendor decision. When it came down to it, we didn't need a video team. It felt like an added bonus to photos — the last thing we'd throw in if there was extra budget. I've heard other brides struggle with the same dilemma.
So I sought advice from my married friends. Anyone who'd been recently wed, didn't care that they'd skipped a videographer. While the couples who were celebrating five-plus years of marriage, actually regretted it. They wished they could watch it all — see the trends of times and their more youthful relatives on screen. There are elements of the Big Day they've forgotten now that their memories are peppered with new milestones like buying a house or having kids.
This inspired me to open my wallet and make the commitment to have a video crew document my big day. And soon I was down a rabbit hole on the internet, researching what I needed to know when meeting with potential vendors. Eventually I found my dream team — NST Pictures — and asked them to help explain what you need to know when booking a wedding videographer. Hopefully, this quick guide to the questions you should ask your video team will help make your search easier!
