Why does a wedding film cost so much?
Planning a wedding can be an extremely expensive event. Most couples are footing the bill themselves, with little to no help from relatives. However, when you’re spending so much money on all of the details of your big party, it’s important to consider the long term. What precautions are you taking so you will remember this important–and expensive–day? You’re so busy on your wedding day, it may fly by without you even getting the chance to look at the centrepieces that you spent £1000 on!

Many couples look to wedding videography to resolve that worry. Wedding cinematography not only lets you revisit the important details that made your day yours, but it also lets you listen to your vows being spoken at the altar, hear the sweet speeches from your friends and family and sway to the beat of the music as you watch your first dance as a married couple.

It’s a very important investment that will become a family heirloom. Everyone from your grandparents to your children (who may not even exist yet!) will love pressing play and diving into the history of your family.

Even though it’s such an important day, many couples still struggle with understanding the cost of hiring a wedding videographer. A common misconception is that when the word “wedding” is tacked on to a service, companies jack up the price. This is NOT TRUE! There is a lot of equipment, time, education and liability that goes into filming weddings.

The cameras we use and our special camera profile settings are what give our films such a high quality finish. The lenses let us capture details from close ups to wide group shots, and often from far away, like from the balcony of a church that restricts our access during the ceremony.

A battery charger and multiple back-up batteries are essential. We need enough power to film for six to twelve hours, as well as have some extras on hand for emergencies.

We shoot with a minimum of 2 cameras. If for some reason one camera malfunctions, we won’t miss a minute of your wedding day.

A tripod and monopod are necessary for capturing clear, stable shots.

Wireless microphones, one for the groom and one for the celebrant, pick up perfect audio. Footage is stored on massive external hard drives and high-powered computers with the latest editing software are needed to manage and edit footage.

These aren’t one-time purchases either. Cameras and computers need to be professionally serviced from time to time, hard drives need to be purchased and editing software needs to be renewed yearly.

The time it can take to edit a 3-5 minute wedding trailer can be anywhere from three or four full days at the editing dock. I don’t just trim the shots straight from camera. I have a degree in media production and am fully trained in the programs and have an eye for creating a stylish wedding film. Not to mention the 35 years of experience that I have–including filming on movie sets, for the fashion industry and over 1000 weddings. So you are booking a seasoned professional that can handle your wedding day.

There is A LOT of pressure on this day because it’s a live event and anything can happen. I also didn’t mention the insurance policies that we pay every year to make sure everyone involved is protected should an emergency happen. Venues require proof of insurance before they allow us to work there.

You get a gorgeous, artistic wedding film to pass down to generations for years to come.

While videography costs may seem like a large portion of your wedding budget, consider the value of the service and product you’re receiving. The cost of editing alone is more than what you’re spending. You will see a range of video services being offered these days. Many are called cinematic, and supply a short film of 15 – 20 mts. I film and edit documentary style, so you get the full ceremony and speeches and your film will last approx. 90 – 120 mts depending on service you book.

Your completed film wil be supplier on a USB stick with the option of adding an on line highlight for you to share. Your choice.

Prices vary greatly from one videographer to another. But the most expensive is not necessarily the best. I believe I offer a great product at a realistic price. But don’t take my word for it. Check out over 100 5 star reviews on my page.

It’s a special day for you so it’s important that you can look around first. It happens from time to time but I usually see people back 9 times out of 10. Whoever you choose, make sure the person you meet or speak to is the person who will turn up on the day, as some companies farm out their work to others. I personally film and edit all my films. When you book me, you get me. I pride myself in offering this personal service. Have a great wedding day.

Don’t just see it, hear it.
Only hearing your wedding allows you to truly remember all the details.

Some of the guests may not be around in years to come and a video can bring past loved ones to life again. It's a Priceless investment.
