Hi is anyone bothering with a videographer x

We'd love to but don't have the extra money :-( xxx

I have always discarded this but now i am having doubts. I have only got one quote though and it was £1000 is this about the average price? Personally it seems like a huge amount of money for a 6 min video but I would really like one

I'm that person too MrsT hehe :-) xxx

I wasn't gunna bother but now I'm not so sure, it's not something I'm willing to pay for mind, but someone getting it on camera is likely to happen now, I know I won't want anything fancy pants as the idea of watching myself on film makes me cringe but I think it would be nice to capture some moments

Our budget probably won't stretch for one so just going to ask our friends to video it :)

I'm not that fussed about having a videographer. I'm more focussed on getting decent photographs really. I'll probably look really embarrassed and awkward all day anyway! x

I wasnt going to bother with a video because I thought - how often am I going to sit and watch it? But the photographer and his father work together to do pictures, video and then dj in the evening as an events company so it is included in the £850 price.

I would have liked one but they're so expensive! x

I was having this debate only last week, decided in the end to get a mate to film it and i would edit it as i bought some software for my uni project which cost £50 i felt this was reasonable. THEN I only went and won it in a competition didnt i?!?!? Mwahahahahaa so get entering ladies you never know! (looked at their website and they are hopeless but they will be free!)

we added extra to the budget to cover having both photographer and videographer. I felt it was an important part of the day has it goes by so quick and you miss so much photos can't always pick everything up x

I've been looking for prices there's one £395 for entrance to church, in church signing of register leaving church entry to venue? The top package is £1000 I may see if a family member has one I was thinking it would prob be cheaper to buy one? X

We're not, for 3 reasons:

1) Both of us cringe when we see ourselves on camera or hear ourselves on tape.

2) Because of 1) I can't see us ever watching it unless we're REALLY drunk.

3) While we have a big budget, it isn't unlimited; we might have considered doing it just for the crack if we had the cash spare, but, given we don't think we'd ever watch it, we'd rather spend the money elsewhere eg on better photography. The photography is super important to us and one of our biggest costs, because we know we will look at them time and time again; not so with a video.

We couldn't afford one but had my uncle and cousin step up to shoot as much of the ceremony and reception as possible, my dad is editing it all and so far it's looking amazing, reduced me to teaes it made me feel so happy.

If you can afford one I'd totally say go for it xxx

Videoographers are far more expensive than I thought they would be so unfortunately we can afford it. Think we will just have a family member set up a camcorder. :)

We had our ceremony at the Registry office videoed.
The camera was just set up on a tripod and left to run.
It wasn't done professionally and hasn't been edited or anything but I'm so glad it was done!!!
It brings back memories of the day I'd forgotten!!!

Our Best Man also took some footage of the day and had it edited, sent us the DVD and we both burst into tears!!!
If you can, do it as there's some things that you won't remember??

:-)

i got mine for £375

Just photographer for us as we'd probably watch it 2/3 times so for us it wouldn't be worth it xxx
