Newcastle & hunter valley wedding video
Many couples who have enquired with me are often seeking a Newcastle & Hunter Valley Wedding Videographer for their wedding day.
Choosing the right videographer is pivotal to ensuring a smooth day—someone who understands the photographer's workflow & approach and has a similar style, direction & overall vibe.
Choosing experienced vendors who have collaborated before and understand all the factors of a wedding day makes things seamless. It eliminates the likelihood of any miscommunication pre-wedding and or on the day. Vendors with the same style complement each other and only ever support each other, increasing the quality of the final product for the couple, whether photo, video or any other service provided. A good vendor is 100% invested in the couple, focusing on ensuring that everything is the best possible.
Back to videographers: choosing the wrong videographer, for example, someone who is relatively fresh & inexperienced, can limit what's possible on the day. Time management, understanding light, posing, and overall day layout are crucial.
A good videographer will communicate clearly with the photographer and work alongside them in a complementary way rather than getting in the way and sometimes placing tripods or equipment in impractical locations, which can cause unsightly distractions in your photos. So be sure to ask your other vendors who they recommend, their experiences with the suppliers you've shortlisted for your wedding day and read reviews.
While working as a wedding photographer in the Hunter region, I have had the opportunity to work with some fantastic videographers & have built friendships with them too. The Hunter Valley wedding video teams that I recommend are all highly experienced, reliable, and excellent at communicating. They've all shot at most of the venues throughout the Hunter Valley. They know what couples getting married in the area are after & offer several options to cater for this. With packages including highlights of the day, through to more extensive 5-9 minute documentary style recaps of the day, full ceremony, full speeches & first dance.
Choosing a videographer local to the Hunter Valley is always a wise idea. Their knowledge of the area is worth its weight in gold. It is knowing the best locations and timings for different seasons (sunset times) and having built connections with the venues & suppliers in the area. It means that things just come together effortlessly.
Depending on the style of videographer you're after, we have put together a list of our favourites below to help make the selection process a little less daunting. So check out their most recent work, especially on their social profiles and be sure to book the videographer that best suits your vibe, from the style of their work through to their personality and how you feel when chatting with them. Because, after all, much like your photographer, they will be there for most of your wedding day. So they must be the right fit for you.
