Wedding Photography & Videography: What to Know Before You Book

Your wedding photos and video are some of the only things you’ll have to relive your wedding day for years to come, so choosing the right team matters. In this episode, Letti sits down with Mitch and Amanda of ‪@RosenberryMedia‬ to talk about what couples should know when choosing a wedding photographer and videographer, planning their timeline, and preparing for the big day. With years of experience capturing weddings together, Mitch and Amanda share what happens behind the scenes before, during, and after a wedding, along with advice that can help couples avoid common planning mistakes. We cover: • What to look for when choosing a wedding photographer or videographer • Why personality and experience matter just as much as the portfolio • The benefits of hiring photography and videography together • Why audio can become one of the most meaningful parts of your wedding film • First looks vs. waiting until the ceremony • How photography and videography affect your wedding-day timeline • Why communication between your vendors matters • The importance of having a wedding coordinator or point person • How large bridal parties can impact your schedule • What couples should know about styled shoots and photography portfolios • Why asking to see full wedding galleries matters • Capturing wedding details, sentimental items, florals, and décor • When a second photographer can be helpful • Why experienced wedding professionals sometimes recommend doing things differently than you originally planned Mitch and Amanda also share what they’ve learned from photographing and filming dozens of weddings each year and why creating a great experience for the couple is just as important as creating beautiful images. If you’re currently planning your wedding, this conversation is packed with practical advice to help you choose the right vendors, build a realistic timeline, and actually enjoy your wedding day.
