It's your choice on what videographer you want. Here are some pointers for finding the right one for you:
Examples of a videographer's work should always be available on a website. The videos should be of better quality than those on YouTube. If they aren't, ask for a demo reel. You might asked for one anyway. Why? Because the sample DVD you receive in the mail will likely tell you a lot of things.
Is the DVD nicely packaged?
Does it include a colorful case or does it come in a paper sleeve?
What kind of labeling is used on the disc itself? Is it a stuck-on paper label or has the label been printed directly onto the upper surface of the disc? You can tell by looking closely at the alignment of the label and around the edges of the disc. Stick-on labels are not professional. They can also cause playback problems.
Then, after you've put the disc into your DVD player, check out the menu system, if there is one. Are the navigation buttons or is the text aligned correctly and do all the links work in a logical fashion? What about the music? Is it to your taste? If you don't like it, make sure you tell the videographer right up front. It is far better to discuss this at the beginning of an association than at the end when your video has been delivered! By discussing your tastes, it will help the videographer produce something that you like.
Next, evaluate the camera work and sound. Look for good sound pick up during the vows. This is generally a point at which voices of the bride and groom are almost hushed and sound pick up is difficult. When the celebrant's voice is heard again, the voice should be at the same level, and not distorted. Riding the levels properly offers a challenge. A professional gets it right!
