The 10 REAL Questions You Should Ask Your Videographer

Dave Williams, a collegue of mine and owner of DVideography in Philadelphia, suggested 10 questions any bride should ask her prospective videographer. Dave wrote these in response the occasional wedding planner, bridal magazine or bridal website that encourage brides to ask the wrong questions in searching for great videography.

Dave also participated in the World Record Wedding Video Event (WRWVE) held here in Sacramento in 2006. Thanks Dave:
