When you imagine watching your wedding video years from now, laughing at inside jokes, crying during your vows, and hearing the sounds of the people you love most, what do you see? If you’re dreaming of something more than just a highlight reel, then your videographer matters. Like, a lot.
Enter Tatiana of Voir Videos, a Colorado-based wedding filmmaker who turns love stories into poetic, cinematic films that feel true to you. Tatiana’s work is inspired by emotion, authenticity, and the incredible landscapes of the Rocky Mountains and beyond. With a degree in film and a deep love for storytelling, she’s all about capturing the real stuff: the quiet hand squeezes, teary-eyed speeches, and belly laughs you never want to forget.
So before you sign on the dotted line with a videographer, Tatiana is here to help you ask the right questions and understand why they matter.
Let’s get into it.
1. What’s Your Videography Style?
Every videographer has a creative fingerprint. Some go for moody and cinematic, while others lean toward raw, documentary-style footage. But “style” isn’t just about how it’s shot. It includes everything from the pacing and music to the editing and color tone.
Pro tip from Tatiana:Color correction is a huge piece of the puzzle. Whether your videographer prefers golden, romantic hues or crisp, true-to-life visuals, their aesthetic will shape how your day feels on screen.
Why it matters:You want a film that reflects your vibe. Don’t be afraid to ask for full examples that align with your vision.
2. Can We Watch a Full Highlight Film?
Instagram teasers are pretty, but they don’t show the full picture. To really understand a videographer’s storytelling ability, you’ll want to view a full highlight film, typically 6 to 10 minutes long.
Why it matters:Highlight films give you the full emotional arc. You’ll see audio quality, transitions, pacing, vows, speeches, and more. Think of it as the director’s cut of your day.
Bonus tip:Ask to see a film shot in a similar location, lighting, or vibe to your wedding. That’ll help you envision your own film even more clearly.
3. What’s Included in Your Packages (And What Does That Actually Mean)?
Here’s where things can get confusing fast. Wedding video packages vary widely, and terms can be vague if you don’t know what to ask.
Tatiana recommends getting super specific. Break down every detail, like:
Hours of coverage (6, 8, or 10+ hours?)
Types of films(Teaser? Highlight? Full ceremony? Raw footage?)
Audio coverage (Are your vows and toasts recorded professionally?)
Why it matters: Clarity saves you from surprise costs and helps you compare vendors fairly. Don’t assume anything. Ask everything.
4. What’s Your Turnaround Time?
You’re going to be dying to relive the magic once the wedding is over, but great editing takes time. Tatiana breaks down what’s typical:
Teaser: 2 to 4 weeks
Highlight Film:6 to 12 weeks
Full Ceremony or Toast Edits: 3 to 6 months
Total Deliverables:Often 15 to 25 weeks
Don’t forget about music.Your final films will include licensed music, not radio hits. Tatiana uses cinematic music libraries like Musicbed or Artlist to score each film with emotion and legal peace of mind.
Pro tip: Send your videographer a playlist of songs or genres you love. It helps shape a soundtrack that feels so you.
5. Will You Be the One Filming Our Wedding?
This is a big one. If you’re hiring a large video company, you may not meet the person who actually films your wedding until the big day.
Tatiana is all about personal connection and consistency. She films the weddings she books, which means you get her signature style, creative direction, and heartfelt storytelling. Not a random freelancer you’ve never met.
Why it matters:Your wedding film should feel intimate and intentional. When you know your videographer, that connection shows up on screen.
