p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Videographer wants to shoot stills...Advice Needed


First, here's the email:

Thank you for sending your collections pricing. We do have a question, our videographer that we have hired likes to be at the engagement picture setting to film footage that she uses in the video that is played at the wedding reception. She also likes to use still shots of the engagement picture setting. Would you have a problem with this? We like things so far & are leaning towards the top package. We are waiting your response. Thanks!



I'm guessing she wants to use her own stills..Have any of you ever dealt with this? I was going to tell her that, no we don't work with other photographers which is what this videographer would technically be if they are shooting stills. I just don't like the idea of someone photographing our poses over our shoulder and then presenting it at the reception..Chances are she'll want to do this at the wedding too. I'm not so sure I want someone at our engagement session eating up time either..

Experience or thoughts on this would be much appreciated!

If they are using them in an SDE I don't really care. I mean, when the SDE rolls, most of the time guests come up and ask me for *my* card even when I had nothing to do with the video, because we are all walking around with the same gear on. Meh.

along with Jeremy thoughts... look to me that the video shooter wants some of your still to incorporate into the video.
Video crew gives you credit and all should be good.
You might want to make sure the video crew knows the limits of usage. This depends on how well you know them.

Offer them some of your images with logos. Done.

I see, (read posts like this all the time).

The root of the issue is your first sentence: "I'm guessing".

Why guess? Contact your potential client and find out.
