5 Must-Ask Questions
Question
“How do you stay invisible?”
Look for
Candid, fly-on-the-wall shooting
Small, quiet cameras
Minimal staging
If they talk more about gear than moments, move on.
Question
“How do you capture vows and speeches?”
Look for
Non-negotiable: lapel mics plus backup audio.
On-camera sound = amateur hour.
Question
“What exactly do we get?”
Look for
Deliverables
Highlight film 3-7 min
Full-day doc 20-40 min
Bonus clips Social reels / raw
Drone footage
Question
“Shot this venue before?”
Look for
Yes → great, they know the light and the best angles.
No → make sure they scout ahead and chat with the planner.
Question
“When do we see the film?”
Look for
4-6 weeks with a sneak peek in days is reasonable.
Six months (or vague answers) = red flag.
