How to find a Destination Wedding Videographer
I firmly believe that your destination wedding videographer will the most important vendor you hire. You will be spending so much time and effort planning a wedding in an amazing destination location, and when it’s all said and done the videos will be your tying memory to your wedding.
Do not skimp on Videography.
By skimp…I mean with your wallet nor your time. Make sure to take your time researching all options and then hire the very best wedding videographer you can afford, even if it means cutting back in other areas that are less of a priority.
Just like I’ve seen the bride, groom, and even guests shed tears seeing the same day edit, I’ve also witnessed tears of anger, sadness, and disappointment after missing out on a great wedding videographer. Please don’t make the same mistake.
This is important so let’s get started by looking at the your two options when planning a destination wedding.
Hiring a Local Videographer
Depending on the destination wedding’s location, chances are that there will some local wedding videographers available. In more famous destination wedding locations, expect a high selection of available wedding videographers.
Obviously, the benefits of hiring a local videographer is their familiarity with the venues and cheaper cost of not flying them in. Also, they’ll know your location like the back of their hand. They’ll know when the best time is to shoot at these locations and you can expect the best shots at the right times of the day.
Fly in a Videographers
If you can’t find a videographer you love in your destination, chances are you’ll have to fly one in. The advantage to this approach is that you pretty much open your choices a thousandfold, not to mention the selection of some of the truly great wedding videographers in the market.
Obviously, the drawback is the increased cost. Flying in a team of 3–4 wedding videographers is not cheap. Include into this the cost of everything else associated with a destination wedding then things quickly add up.
At the end of the day though, it ultimately is about how much you want a destination wedding. Some couples select a their location because it has a extra meaning to their relationship while others just dream of getting married at a dream destination. It’s hard to tradeoff the cost but remember if you are pursuing a destination wedding, don’t regret not beautifully capturing the special moment.
