Questions for Potential Videographers

[Bewitch324]

Hello. Have started the search for our videographer for our November 2014 wedding. Have already contracted with Vicki and David Arndt for photography.

So far, I'm looking at Trinity, Cinemedia, Shutter Life, Star Fruit and STVS.

Does anyone have any tips as far as what questions I should be asking or what I should be looking at (other than reviews and pricing) to try and make our choice?

I've gotten emails from Trinity and Cinemedia so far and they both suggested phone calls to discuss, I'm just not sure what to ask!

Thanks
Brooke

Thanks Carrie!! I'd forgotten you included that in your book. DUH!! I should have known to check there first!!

I did use the list during my call tonight, and it was VERY helpful. I'm feeling much more confident now, thank you!

Just wanted to say, we used Trinity for our Disney wedding on October 2011 and they were fabulous. Can't say enough good things about them

Ask about music selection it is important to you (especially certain songs). It was important to me but I didn't think about asking before hand and it caused big issues after.
