5 Reasons to Hire the Same Company for Your Wedding Photography & Cinematography
We’ve been there and we’ve heard the horror stories. Photographers and videographers butting heads. Whether someone is in the shot, or there wasn’t enough time to capture the moment because the other took most of the time. Let’s not mention, some people are not the best when it comes to communicating. Wedding days are jam packed and the altar is already a tight space between the wedding party, officiant, bride and groom, and any immediate family. The last thing you want on your wedding is to be referee and delegating between both.
We offer both wedding photography and cinematography services so we understand both sides. There is a quick fix to these problems and it stems from refocusing the day to the client and their happiness.
Here are 5 reasons why it’s best to book a single company for both photography and videography:
1. Consistent Delivery. Consistent Style. Consistent Attitude.
When you hire a company, you were attracted by their brand, mission statement, or price point. Regardless, you know exactly the type of service and product you will receive. You’ll have professionals who have the right attitude, love serving their clients, and put the client’s interest first.
2. Guaranteed Results
When you hire the same company, you are guaranteed consistency in style and quality. Communication is easy. If you want a particular pose or style, the whole team is on the same page. The final products delivered will be similar in quality across the images and video highlight.
3. Better workflow.
Everything starts from clear communication. Understanding each other’s expectations, positions, and flow of the day, we can ensure no moment is missed and we get the shots we need. When you hire a single company, we all play in the same team. It is both team’s responsibility to get all the shots, communicate, and coordinate with each other. The teams also have experience working with one another and understand how to work off the other.
4. Fewer contracts.
No one enjoys paperwork, much less reading through pages of contracts. Hiring the same company to provide photography and cinematography coverage will save you time in the booking process. And we all know, time is money! You can have one meeting where you go over the wedding collections, detailed contract review, make a single payment, and sign one contract, as opposed to two when you hire multiple companies.
5. Added bonuses.
Generally, most companies provide discounts or amazing freebies for booking both wedding photography and videography from the same company. While our company doesn’t give discounts, we do have great complimentary gifts, we’re sure you’ll be pleased with! Inquire for these perks today!
