Outsourcing your wedding edits is a big decision. You are handing over footage you cannot re-shoot, for a client who will watch the result for decades.
Look at their wedding work specifically
Plenty of editors can cut a corporate promo. Far fewer understand how a wedding film should breathe. Ask to see full highlight films, not just a showreel of the best three seconds of twenty projects.
Ask how revisions actually work
Revisions are where most partnerships break down. Find out how many rounds are included, whether your client can request changes directly, and what happens when a request falls outside the agreed scope.
Check how they handle your footage
Ask where the files are stored, who has access, and whether the work is done in-house or passed to freelancers. If an editor cannot answer this clearly, that is your answer.
Be clear about turnaround before peak season
Everyone can deliver in ten days in February. What matters is whether they can still deliver in September, when every videographer you know is drowning.
Talk about the boring things early
File delivery, naming conventions, music licensing, aspect ratios for social. These are small details that cost hours when they are agreed late.
