Also if they tape the wedding in high definition; some people like it others don't. Just remember in High Def, you will see every imperfection on your video. I think High def may require the bright lights.

Do they do guest interviews?

Make sure they show you samples of their work, they always do but just in case remember to ask.

How long does it take for you to get your wedding DVD's after the wedding? It may take a while, if you choose to do a honeymoon montage.

Re: What are some good questions

I'm not sure what is on the sites posted above but I also would ask

1) do they back up the footage? Can you get another copy later on down the line if you need on/your breaks? for how much?

(our DJ also added that the way they back it up, the DVD could be transferred to different types of media so in the future if DVD's are the new VHS's then there may be a possiblity to get a new media format to be able to keep watching it)

2) What happens to the raw footage?

3) How many DVD's do you get? How many hrs on the DVD?
