Emily and Michael (and winnie the dog) messaged me in 2020 and a whole year went by as we got to know each other. There wedding day was simple yet intimate and fun. The day started out at Emily’s place where she opened the door and greeted me like we had always know each other. Her get ready was complete with a Tim Horton’s breakfast and a crap load of Disney tunes in the background.

Ottawa wedding videographer

What questions should you ask a wedding videographer? Or maybe just any wedding vendor for that matter. In today’s article, I will tell you two stories of why it’s essential to make sure you hire credible wedding vendors and what can happen if you don’t. So you’re looking for vendors and you want to make sure that you are well taken care of. Knowing what to ask your wedding videographer may save you in making sure your wedding film is given to you safely and in a good time frame. Over the years I have heard many horror stories from clients explaining how long it took them to get their video. Truthfully wedding films will always take longer to receive than your wedding photos but there is a line to draw with this rule. I would say anything beyond 6 months is excessive and I would advise you to make sure when booking that there is an agreed time frame in which you should receive your wedding film. This will save you the disappointment of waiting months or sometimes years with no answer from your vendor.
