How much does Wedding Videography Cost

Weddings are full of love and excitement, that’s why is always so fun to share the special occasion with so many friends and family.

In every bride’s life there comes a time where you and your fiancé need to make a choice of having a wedding videographer on your wedding day or not.

This choice is already very hard let alone deciding who to hire. In this post we explain what you would be receiving if you hired a wedding videographer or a wedding videography team in different price ranges.

img

Like many other things choosing your videography team or solo videographer is very personal. These are some things to take into account when looking at different wedding videography vendors:

Experience

Coverage

Creativity

Location (where are they based?)

img

All of these details make up the cost of getting a wedding videographer.

This price guide is only detailing the prices of individual videographers, not packages.

Here is our breakdown of pricing a wedding videographer:

img

$ ($500-1500) : In this price range you will usually be hiring videographers who can be experienced in videography, but don’t have a lot of wedding experience.

Hiring these videographers you may encounter some challenges like the videographers not capturing your grand entrance or first dance due to the lack of experience in weddings.

This is the most affordable option (besides having your uncle hold a camcorder). These videographers are usually found near you or your venue. Such videographers are usually young, and are just starting out in their photography career.

The upside is that their costs are friendly especially when you don’t have a big budget, but you also have to accommodate their mostly limited gear and skills. That’s an interesting choice to make when researching how much a videographer charges for a wedding.

The videographers in this range are very easy to book, even for a last minute application.

$$ ($1500-3000) – This price range includes professional wedding videographers who do simple coverage on a decent level; most lack creativity.

Their weddings follow the same wedding video template and have very similar shots and angles.

They mostly have a lot of weddings to shoot, and this means they probably will not have a lot of time to spend on your video.

These videographers are usually found near you or your venue.

img

$$$ ($3000-5000) – This set of professional wedding videographers have a creative approach. They dedicate more time to each client, and work on refining their art. They have had an adequate amount of experience with different types of weddings.

These wedding videographers will also have great gear that allows them to move through your wedding fast and easy (No clunky gear that gets in their way).

Their body of work looks more like films rather than basic wedding video. These videographers are usually found near you or your venue but can also do destination weddings.

These videographers also usually just do destination weddings.

When deciding how much a videographer charges for a wedding, there are a lot of factors to consider; experience, access to gear, availability and skill level. In videography, as with other industries, you mostly get what you pay for. Hopefully this article makes it easier for you to choose a videographer that brings your special day to life.

$$$$ ($6000+) – Videographers at this high of a price range are high-end wedding videographers who shoot upscale weddings (usually celebrity or 500+ guest weddings) with a lot of actual crew members.

These videographers have the highest image quality, but not the most creative approach due to the size of the gear they have (ie large heavy cameras and movie set cranes).

Although the saying “the bigger the better” is intriguing the coverage you may be getting will not have the most cinematic approach it will probably be more documentarian (like your uncle holding a camcorder but x5000).

These videographers also usually just do destination weddings.
