Hiring the right wedding videographer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your big day. After all, your wedding video will be a cherished keepsake that allows you to relive your special moments for years to come. To ensure you find the perfect fit, it’s essential to ask the right questions during your search.
If you’re looking for a Florida wedding videographer, Navy Studios is based out of Sarasota and specializes in creating stunning, cinematic wedding videos that capture the magic of your day. We have found that the most prepared couples ask us these questions:
1. What Is Your Experience with Wedding Videography?
Experience matters when it comes to wedding videography. Ask about how long they’ve been in the industry, how many weddings they’ve filmed, and whether they’ve worked at your type of venue. Experienced videographers know how to handle different lighting, weather, and unexpected situations.
Through our years of experience filming weddings across Florida, we have learned a lot about how to ensure that every aspect and moment of your wedding is captured. We are happy to answer your wedding video questions!
2. What Style of Wedding Videos Do You Offer?
Wedding videographers often specialize in specific styles, such as documentary, traditional, etc. Review their portfolio to determine if their style aligns with your vision. Ask if they can customize their approach to meet your preferences.
For example, at Navy Studios, we specialize in cinematic wedding videos, which means that your wedding video will look like the movies!
3. What Is Included in Your Packages?
Understanding what’s included in a videography package helps you avoid surprises later. Common inclusions might be:
Number of videographers
Hours of coverage
Drone footage
Full-length videos vs. highlight reels
Make sure the package fits your needs and budget.

4. Can You Provide References or Reviews?
Reviews and testimonials from past clients can give you insight into the videographer’s professionalism, communication, and final product quality. Don’t hesitate to ask for references if they’re not readily available.

5. Have You Worked at My Wedding Venue Before?
Familiarity with your wedding venue can be a bonus, as the videographer may already know the best spots for filming. If they haven’t worked there before, ask if they’re willing to visit the venue in advance.
6. What Is Your Process for Capturing the Day?
Ask about their workflow, including how they plan to capture key moments like the ceremony, speeches, and first dance. Discuss whether they’ll remain unobtrusive during the event while still capturing every detail.
7. What Is Your Turnaround Time for the Wedding Video?
It’s important to know when you can expect to receive your finished video. Typical turnaround times range from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the videographer’s workload and editing process.
At Navy Studios, we prioritize timely delivery without compromising quality. Depending on the package ordered, we deliver wedding videos in as early as one week!
8. Do You Offer Raw Footage?
Some couples like to have access to raw, unedited footage in addition to the final video. Ask if this is an option and whether it comes at an additional cost.
At Navy Studios, we always offer the option to receive the raw footage. We film A LOT over the course of your wedding. That means a lot of good stuff can get left on the cutting room floor, so ordering the raw footage allows you to get it all!
9. What Equipment Do You Use?
High-quality equipment, including cameras, microphones, and drones, can make a significant difference in the final product. Ensure your videographer uses professional-grade tools to capture stunning visuals and clear audio. Because we specialize in cinematic wedding video, we make sure to only use the highest quality equipment that ensures a every frame of your video could be a painting!
10. Do You Have a Backup Plan?
Ask about their contingency plan in case of equipment failure or unforeseen emergencies. A reliable videographer will always have backups to ensure nothing is missed.
We at Navy Studios take pride in never ONCE cancelling on a couple in our eight years of filming weddings. We have kept our perfect record through diligent planning and cultivating a network of professional videographers.
