Re: Videographer
Ask if they film the wedding only in HD. You may not want them to use it, you see every imperfection in HD.
Ask how many DVD's you can get.
If they include a Lifetime montage or Honeymoon montage in the video.
How long it takes to edit the video.
When you need to have the music for the video.
Do they use a wireless microphone so the sound is fed into the video.
What special effects can they do, for example, transitions from one scene to another.
And definitely make sure you look at video samples.

Re: Videographer
Those are both excellent lists. I would also ask what happens if 1) the DVD breaks (it sounds weird but...this happened to a bride on here and they wanted to charge her a lot of $$ to replace it ) and 2) ask them to show you the case they offer for the DVD. Sounds small but when we were interviewing videogs some were nicer than others lol!! and 3) if they can give you a break if you pay in cash !!
