Frequently asked

How Much Does a Wedding Videographer Cost?

Most videographers are independent contractors, so it often varies. Typically, videographers will offer packages and a la carte pricing for extra services, extra time, or extra editing to allow you to customize your package. It is recommended that you start with a standard package and customize it from there to make sure all your bases are covered. You can often get a better bargain this way.

“There are a lot of variables to consider”. “Every video is personalized and custom-made, so it really depends on what the couple wants, like the length of the video, inclusions of whole speeches versus snippets, add-ons like raw footage, how many cameras they want floating, and even the style of the video, like how it’s shot and edited,”

Peak wedding season may also affect the cost for some vendors, making coverage from June through October a bit pricier and harder to secure. The range can often run between $1,200 and $1,500 nationwide or as much as $12,500 for a luxury shoot that turns you into a television-quality star for a day.

What’s Included in the Cost?

The exact inclusions may be personalized to your needs, but certain services are part and parcel of any professional wedding videography package you may book. “Expect eight to 10 hours of coverage, and know that additional time can cost as much as $200-$500 per half hour, which pays for the videographer’s and assistant’s time (if applicable), time spent editing additional footage, and video cards,” Thomen advises. “But don’t worry if your day is expected to be longer! This amount of time is usually sufficient to cover everything from wedding day preparation to the cake cutting ceremony.” 

However, all the key moments in between should be accounted for in your contract. That means working alongside the photographer as the couple gets ready, arriving at the ceremony site in their own vehicle to film it in its entirety, capturing candid moments while syncing up with the DJ during cocktail hour, the couple’s reception entrance, and dances and speeches. Use of your videographer’s gear should also be included, like lavalier microphones, which are discreetly clipped-on mini-mics wired to bodypack transmitters, as well as necessary enhancements like music beds. Licensing fees should not come into play, Thomen warns, as the end video is for personal use.

Is a wedding videographer worth it?

A videographer is an investment every couple should make. “It’s motion that makes memories come to life,”

How far in advance should I book my videographer?

If your wedding is in the peak season, you should aim to have your videographer commissioned eight to 12 months ahead of time to save the date. During the low season, you can reserve their services closer in. You also have more wiggle room if you choose a less seasoned professional as they are less likely to be booked up.

Do you also shoot photos?

YES! If event is 6 hours or less. For more than 6 hours I will add a photographer to the package for an additional fee.

What's a Hybrid Shooter?

A Hybrid Shooter is a photographer that also shoots video at the same time as shooting photos.

Why should I hire a two-person team?

Your coverage will be more comprehensive, and your video will have more dimension in that it’ll be shot from an additional perspective. This is great for angle changes for important moments, such as the ceremony, speeches, or formal dance—moments where the focus is on the couple. And because the assistant’s primary role is to shoot b-roll, that also provides a greater opportunity to catch those great reaction shots from the guests.

What's a Social Media Teaser?

This is a roughly 1 minute teaser of your wedding day. It gives you a sneak peek of things to come.

What are the different styles that wedding videos may be shot in?

The standard option is a sequential, chronological video that plays through the major points of the day in order. “Consider me, a fly on the wall for this style  or a shadow that just trails you throughout the day.” The end result is music-heavy with pops of recorded speech.

Should I opt for a drone?

For grand venues or outdoor weddings, drones can add a stunning visual element to your video. However, the final footage may only feature a few seconds of aerial shots. This luxury addition typically costs between $200 and $300 extra. Please inquire about our drone services, as some venues have restrictions on drone usage. Your videographer will need to secure FAA permissions and must be FAA licensed to operate the drone.

Are you LGBTQ Friendly?
