How Important Is A Videographer Anyway?

At last weeks meeting with our wedding planner she asked us what our budget was for a videographer. We both kinda stopped and looked at each other before I responded with hesitation "we don't really have one...we don't know if we want one yet".


We ended up putting in our "this can always be nixed" section of the budget but when I think about it I'm not so sure how sold I really am on having one. Ive always been the type who cant sit still during family videos where there is 8 minutes straight of watching people dance, so WHY would I want to make my own?

I LOVE the cinematic style that some videographers provide and the idea of a same day edit is really cool BUT when the local rates for this style start at $5000 I begin to wonder if that 10 minute same day edit is really worth $5000+.

So for now.... its in the budget really for the sake of being in there but I have to say I'm not sold....

  1. yeah I'm on the fence for video too. My fiance wants it as alot of his family can't come. But its at the bottom of the budget list.

  2. Trust me, you should do it. The day goes by so fast, and there will be moments you just don't have time to take in, remember or even see. I was on the fence as well, but am so glad we decided to hire a videographer. The footage of the ceremony, plus all of our friends and family wishing us well during the reception is priceless. We hired an up-and-coming videographer who charged us $1,000 for eight hours of coverage. Worth every penny.
