My sister got married two years ago, and it took almost 6 months for her videographer to return the video of her wedding. I want a videographer at my wedding, but I'm scared it'll take the same amount of time to come back. Is 6 months normal to wait for your wedding video?

Hi Louisa,
6 months is a long time to wait and it will depend on the company you choose, what you agree to in the contract (and you should demand a contract!) and your expectations on the quality. At Wedding Movies you receive a short teaser within days of your wedding as we want you to have something immediate to share with your friends and family. Then once you have selected your music for your Full Length and Highlights version we take between 1 to 3 months to supply you an approval edit to review and sign off. It's important to note that we offer you a boutique service and all our edits are reviewed as part of our commitment to quality control and excellence prior to sending this to you for your comment and feedback. For an amazing result it's important to not rush the creative process and should you be working with an accredited Wedding Video company they should also keep you in a high level of communication before, during and after the wedding and have detailed documentation detailing the process.
Also I note that you are getting married in April 2018, so you should expect a faster turnaround as you are not getting married in the Christmas/New Year period which often has slightly longer turnaround times.
Kind Regards,
Ben Whimpey
