What wedding videography services does Best Made Videos® offer?

Best Made Videos® is a full-service production company. For weddings, we provide documentary-style coverage, a highlight film, full ceremony edit, full toast/speech edits, and optional add-ons like RAW footage, vertical social teasers, and drone coverage (where permitted).

Why hire a professional wedding videographer instead of relying on photos?

Wedding videography preserves vows, speeches, ambient sound, movement, and candid moments. A professional filmmaker also ensures clean audio, stable footage, and a story-driven edit.

Why choose Best Made Videos® for wedding videography in Seattle?

Couples choose Best Made Videos® for fast delivery (often 2–4 weeks), RAW footage included in most packages, a hands-off documentary style, and a long-standing reputation including hundreds of 5-star reviews and recognition such as The Knot Hall of Fame.

How far in advance should we book a wedding videographer in Seattle?

Most couples book 8–12 months in advance, especially for peak-season Saturdays. Last-minute openings may be available.

Where is Best Made Videos® located?

Best Made Videos® is based in West Seattle, Washington and films weddings throughout the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes. Best Made Videos® is available for destination and travel weddings worldwide. Travel fees and lodging requirements depend on distance and timeline.

How would you describe your wedding filming style?

Reid’s approach is documentary-style — non-intrusive, candid, and story-driven, capturing the day as it naturally unfolds with minimal staging.

How do you capture audio for vows and speeches?

Audio is recorded using discreet microphones and backups through the DJ/sound system when available to ensure redundancy.

How many cameras do you use for the ceremony and toasts?

Even when filming solo, Reid typically sets up 3 cameras for the ceremony and 2 cameras for speeches/toasts for full coverage and multiple angles.

What is your wedding video turnaround time?

Turnaround varies by package: some films are delivered in as little as 2–4 weeks, while others can be up to 60 days.

Do we get the RAW footage?

RAW footage is included in the Better and Best packages, and often included in most packages at no extra cost (confirm package details at booking).

How many hours are included, and what are overtime rates?

Packages typically range from 8 to 14 hours. Additional coverage time is $200 per hour.

Are revisions included?

Yes. Wedding films include two rounds of feedback for light edits. Major re-edits may require additional time or fees depending on scope.

Can we opt out of having our wedding film used on social media?

Yes. Let us know before booking and your project can be kept private so it isn’t used for marketing.

What is the payment schedule and deposit?

A 25% deposit reserves your date. The remaining balance is due before the wedding (exact timing is outlined in the contract).

What happens if we need to reschedule due to an emergency (force majeure)?

Deposits are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances, Reid will do his best to find a new date that works for all parties.
