So, you've found your dream wedding videographer. Whether they came recommended by a friend, your venue, a planner, another supplier, or perhaps you discovered them on social media or a wedding blog, you were inspired by a film they shared. Maybe it was the result of hours of painstaking research on Google, trawling through hundreds of companies.

At last, you think you've found the one. The films on their website are exactly the style you’re looking for, and you can almost imagine watching your own wedding back in months to come.

You inquire with the company, and happy with the commission that’s on offer, you arrange to speak to the Creative Director in person about all your hopes and plans for your wedding. Always thinking back about the films you fell in love with when you found their website.

They speak your language, you get along great, and you’re excited about them being part of your day and capturing those memories on film you’ll look back on for a lifetime.

The Investment and Commitment to Wedding Videographer

It’s a huge investment. One that so many other couples will regret not making. And you’re sure you’re making the right decision.

You’re almost there. It’s time to commit. To book your dream wedding videographer.

But STOP. There’s one thing that might not have occurred to you but had you done so, might have made you think again.

Who will be there filming your day? Come to think of it, who will be making your film once all the footage is captured?

Reflecting on the Process

When I first started out as a wedding videographer in Gold Coast, the selling proposition of my company was pretty unique. I was a Video Journalist at the BBC with 20 years of filmmaking and storytelling under my belt. It was actually my dad who came up with the name of my company after I gave him a long list of what I was hoping to achieve and do differently in the industry.

Willidea was the obvious name. After all, my intention was to authentically and genuinely tell the story of my couples. I would film every single wedding which I commissioned, and I would edit and produce every film. I would be telling a story.

Personal Touch and Evolution

After a few years, the success of my company meant that some couples wanted to commission Willidea but couldn’t afford it. I had to come up with a solution for them. I did. To find a hand-picked team of wedding photographers and videographers to film certain weddings in my unique storytelling and cinematic style. A style which was being recognized throughout the industry.

At first, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t comfortable with the lack of control, but soon discovered my team ‘nailing it,’ and I could concentrate on the editing of all the weddings, whether they were filmed by myself or by my team.

However, the important thing to highlight here is that I openly offered a ‘Creative Team’ option as part of the service. Most of my clients still invest in having me, the Creative Director, tell their story, but those that book always know exactly what and more importantly WHO they get for their money.

Transparency and Assurance

Choosing a wedding photographer or videographer is a significant decision. It's not just about finding someone whose work you admire, but also ensuring that the person you connect with, the one who understands your vision, is the same person capturing your day.

At Willidea, transparency is key. When you book with us, you know precisely who will be filming your wedding. We ensure that you meet your videographer or photographer well before the big day. This relationship is crucial for us because it allows you to feel comfortable and confident, knowing that your wedding will be captured exactly as you envisioned.
