Before you can even begin to process what&rsquo;s happening, the day is over and all you&rsquo;re left with is the memories. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re firm believers that a videographer is an absolute must-have for every wedding.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wedding videographers capture soundbites and intimate moments that you don&rsquo;t want to forget, which we believe is absolutely priceless. However, if you&rsquo;re on the fence, we&rsquo;re here to break it down for you so you can understand why the extra wedding expense is worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much A Wedding Videographer Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average cost of a wedding videographer varies depending on your location, whether or not it&rsquo;s peak wedding season, how many hours of coverage you want, and how experienced the videographer is. However, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000, with the average falling right around the $1,800 range.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&rsquo;s Typically Included In The Price<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Videographers typically offer packages, although these can be personalized based on what you&rsquo;re looking for. However, the four things that you&rsquo;re paying for and can expect from a videographer are high-quality equipment, videography services, post-production editing, and a final copy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find that the videographer that you want to hire doesn&rsquo;t include extras that you&rsquo;re interested in within their packages, ask them about a la carte additional services. These extras can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Drone footage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ndash; Drones are popular, especially at destination weddings. They have the ability to film hundreds of feet in the air which also makes your wedding video more unique. The extra equipment needed for this can cost you anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Travel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ndash;&nbsp;Just because you&rsquo;re getting married in a far-off place doesn&rsquo;t mean you can&rsquo;t have your dream videographer. Just be prepared to pay for their travel. You will likely pay for their accommodations, meals, and travel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Extra edits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ndash;&nbsp;Videographers spend <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hours<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> editing your final wedding video, so if you request any additional edits, it&rsquo;s likely going to cost you<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Filming before and after the wedding<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ndash;&nbsp;Whether your wedding is a weekend long affair or you host a brunch for your friends and family the day of the wedding, filming these moments is going to be additional cost.

Some of the most common include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ndash; This is going to be the one that impacts pricing most. Most packages include the time that they will spend filming. The longer they film, the higher the price&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Staffing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ndash; If you choose a well-established videographer, they may bring along an assistant or second shooter. This helps ensure that they&rsquo;re able to capture every moment without missing a beat. The more staff present, the higher the pricing may be<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wedding season<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &ndash; If your wedding is taking place in peak wedding season&ndash;which is typically May to October&ndash;prices may be higher because of the demand<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Hiring A Wedding Photographer Is Worth It<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having both a wedding photographer and videographer may seem like a bit too much, but we promise it&rsquo;s worth it. Photos do an incredible job of capturing memorable moments, but they can&rsquo;t capture everything.
