Videographer

drink227

I am going to book a videographer.  Are they any questions I should specifically ask?  I'm pretty sure I"m going with Martin's based on reviews and video's I've seen.  Before I do, I just want to make sure I am doing things the best way possible.
TIA!

Martin's is pretty straightforward.  I didn't really have a lot of questions for them because they lay it all out on their website.

I just booked, didn't have any questions for them.

My main questions to vendors are regarding their backup plan.  Making sure they have extra equipment on site and that they have someone they can call if they can't get to the wedding for some reason. I like to get all of this in writing.  Otherwise, its more about style, compatibility and price for us.

I wish Martin's shot in HD, if they did I would've went with them fo sho.

Martins called me the day before my wedding, knowing we were going to get 2 feet of snow (more in Jersey where they are from). They put up the videographer in our hotel to make sure he was there for it all. They go above and beyond to make sure they are there for your wedding, at no cost to you.

Martins does shoot in HD if you ask... my wedding was in HD.  No extra charge for it either.

How much do they charge for a Blu-Ray disc? They don't have it listed on their site?

I'm not sure about blu ray discs.. but when they give you the raw footage, it's on a mini dv HD tape, so you could always take it somewhere to transfer it to blu ray if martins doesnt put it on one for you.
