When you start researching videographers, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. There’s a lot to compare — styles, prices, deliverables — and no two companies do things the same way.

This guide is designed to help you navigate the process with confidence. You’ll find the key questions to ask, what to look for in a professional team, and a few insights from over a decade of experience capturing weddings across New England.

Finding a Style That Fits You

Documentary

This approach focuses on recording your day as it unfolds — the full ceremony, speeches, and first dances in real time.

Cinematic

This style is emotional and creative, designed to feel like a short film. You’ll see slow pacing, artful movement, and layered sound design.

Hybrid

Many couples choose a blend. Cinematic for emotion, documentary for memory. The balance depends on how you want to relive your wedding day.

The best wedding films feel like your memories — not a production.
