Film keeps what stills miss: hearing the vows spoken, the laughter during speeches, the moment the dance floor fills. On the Peninsula, wedding films tend to make the most of sweeping vineyard rows, bay views and beach sunsets.
The list here is small so far, with five videographers, and every one of them also offers photography. That can be a real advantage, because one team handling both means a single brief, one set of timings and crews used to working around each other.
Things to compare:
Wind is the enemy of good sound at bayside and clifftop ceremonies, so a videographer who uses lapel or lectern microphones is worth asking about. Summer Saturdays go early, as with every wedding supplier here.
With a short list, it's easy to send your date and venue to every videographer and compare the replies. They quote you directly, without any booking fee or markup.
Five so far, and each of them also offers photography. The list is small, so it's worth contacting all of them for your date.
None of the local videographers lists a starting price yet. Ask each for a written quote that covers hours, edits included and travel to your venue.
Often it is, and it simplifies planning too. Ask for the bundled price and compare it with booking two separate businesses.
It depends on the gear. Wind at bayside and coastal sites can drown out camera microphones, so ask whether they mic the celebrant and the couple.
Sometimes. It depends on the weather on the day, the venue's rules and air-safety restrictions, so confirm before relying on aerial shots.
Editing takes time, and a few months for a full wedding film isn't unusual. Ask for a delivery date in writing and whether a short teaser comes earlier.
Not always, but an hour or two covering the speeches can be a lovely keepsake. Ask whether they offer shorter bookings for parties and work events.
