You’ve booked your photographer, but what about video? In this episode of 52 ‘Til I Do, we’re diving into all things wedding videography—what it is, what to expect, and why it’s different (but just as important!) as photography.

We’re talking through common videography package types, the importance of understanding the vibe (rather than getting caught up in technical terms), and the key questions to ask a videographer that are totally different from what you'd ask a photographer. Throughout the episode, we reference Episode 11 on photography—so if you haven’t listened to that one yet, it’s a great companion.

Whether you're on the fence about booking a videographer or want to feel confident in your choice, this episode will help you make an informed decision and capture the kind of memories you’ll actually want to replay.
