Want to get a critically acclaimed, action-packed, tearjerker of a wedding video. Here's what you need to know.

Meeting with videographers? Find out who's right for your wedding, budget, and style. Here's what to ask.

A video account of your wedding tells a unique story -- and you're going to want the style and technique to be in keeping with your tastes. Here are the key questions to ask when hiring your videographer:

1) What's the videographer's style -- cinematic, documentary, or a mix of both? (Then ask yourself: Does this jibe with what you're going for?)

2) Has the videographer done many weddings before? What's his or her story-telling approach when it comes to taping a wedding? (This clues you in to experience and philosophy.) Ask to view samples of his/her recent work.
