Yes! Naturally, we’re a bit biased, but most agree – check out some first person accounts here. While it may seem like overkill to have both photos and videos of your wedding day, they are two very different mediums. Photos don’t capture the important auditory moments – from the I Dos to the toasts, videography captures it all. Plus, you’ll be able to replay your blissful day on demand. Since weddings can be so hectic for the bride and groom, a videographer can capture moments that you otherwise miss. You can’t be everywhere – but your wedding videographer can.

Every wedding videographer varies, but generally speaking they should come equipped with two cameras. One camera will remain stationary and capture the entire ceremony, while the videographer roams with the other, catching all the key moments and best angles on film. Depending on the videographer and package you choose, they may bring a small team of videographers to record your wedding.

You should expect the videographer to work with the other vendors at your wedding. While they’ll be there to capture all the most important moments, they work hard to blend in with the scenery and provide as little interruption as possible.

Wedding videographer pricing will vary depending on packages, skill level, and equipment quality. For traditional videography covering the ceremony and speeches, the average cost in the UK is £500-1000.

For more cinematic videography, £1000-£1500 is common for low to mid-range videographers. While budgeting is essential for a successful wedding, you never want to skimp on the videography budget. Videographers charging less than £1000 tend to have less experience, lower quality equipment, and offer a lesser end product. Their price is set to reflect what you should expect.

When choosing a wedding videographer, there are a few key areas to consider:

● Portfolio: When browsing portfolios, you should make sure that your videographer’s cinematic style matches what you’re looking for. Check to see if they have experience working in a venue similar to your own (outdoors, small venue, large venue, etc.) Their portfolio will prove their experience level.

● Packages: No matter how great the videographer is, if you choose the wrong package you won’t be happy. Be sure you understand the packages, and ask questions if it’s unclear! Make sure to pick the right package so your videographer can deliver on all your needs.

● Friendliness & professionalism: When contacting your videographer, make sure that they’re friendly and make you feel comfortable. They’ll be there to capture all the big moments of your day, so you need to be able to trust that they will do so in a professional manner, while still remaining personable with you and your guests.

Your wedding day is one of the most exciting days of your life. Try to take your time and enjoy every moment of it. And for all those moments that fly by – hire a wedding videographer to help you relive them later!
