Your wedding day is one of the most cherished days of your life, and capturing it the right way is so important. Trust me, this decision is more than just booking someone; it’s about finding someone who truly understands your story and can bring it to life.
Why Your Wedding Media Team Matters
A great photographer and videographer don’t just document your day; they make you feel it all over again.
When we worked on a wedding last year, the couple told us how they teared up while watching their video. They said it felt like they were reliving every emotion. That’s why having the right team matters. It’s not just photos and videos, it’s preserving your story for generations.
Tips to Choose the Right Team
1. Know Your Style
Are you drawn to dramatic, cinematic shots, or do you prefer natural, candid moments? One of our couples, loved the idea of storytelling through raw, unfiltered emotions. They chose us because they wanted their photos to look like a documentary of their day.
Look through portfolios and figure out what makes your heart skip a beat. Your style is a reflection of your story.
2. Meet Them in Person (or Virtually)
When we first met one of our clients, Mavs, she said she was nervous about being in front of the camera and since she is not used to as she is an introvert bride. After chatting along with her and being accountable as their media team, she felt more at ease, and on her wedding day, she was glowing with confidence.
Your connection with your team matters. Meet them, share your vision, and see if you feel comfortable. This will make all the difference when it’s time to capture those candid, emotional moments.
3. Read Reviews and Testimonials
Last year, we have couples who really shared how reading another couple’s review gave them the confidence to book us. A lot of them said they wanted that same experience of feeling relaxed and cared for.
Reviews are like a window into the experience you can expect. Look for heartfelt stories from other couples who’ve been in your shoes.
4. Discuss the Details
Details matter! One wedding in the Philippines was pure of discussion especially in the details. Knowing that the venue in Nasugbu, Batangas was stunning, we really discuss this part to Mavs and Roms. We discussed their vision, made it happen, and the results were breathtaking.
Ask about everything, about timelines, packages, raw files, and even special requests, also some of your suggestions. Clear communication ensures your expectations are met.
5. Trust Your Gut
I’ll never forget Faine and Vance. They told me, “We just knew you were the one after our first meeting.” They trusted their instincts, they book us on their pre-wedding and eventually on their wedding day, and it made the whole process smooth and enjoyable.
If you feel a genuine connection with a team, don’t overthink it. Sometimes, your gut feeling knows exactly what you need.
