So, you’re wondering what a wedding videographer actually costs? Honestly, it’s one of those things that seems simple at first, but there’s a lot that goes into it. Therefore, let me break it down for you so you know what you’re paying for (and why it’s so worth it).

They Capture Everything Without Being in the Way

A good videographer isn’t just running around with a camera—they know how to be everywhere without actually being noticed. They’ll catch all the big moments, the little ones you didn’t even see, and do it all without being distracting. In fact, it’s a skill that takes years to perfect.

Experience Makes a Huge Difference

This is a big one. A seasoned videographer just knows where to be. They anticipate the important moments, position themselves perfectly, and make sure they don’t miss a thing. They’re not just filming—they’re storytelling. I explain this more in depth on deze page

The Gear is Insane

We’re talking Hollywood-level cameras, stabilizers, drones, and pro audio setups. Hence, this stuff costs a lot. And yeah, you could technically film a wedding on an iPhone, but trust me—there’s a massive difference between that and what a pro can do.

Editing Takes Forever (Like, 30+ Hours Forever)

Filming the wedding is just step one. Then comes the real work—going through hours of footage, cutting it down to something cinematic, syncing the audio, fixing the colors, adding music, making sure everything flows perfectly. It’s a lot.

Taxes & Business Stuff Add Up

Not the most exciting part, but yeah—a big chunk of what you pay goes to taxes, business licenses, insurance, and all the behind-the-scenes costs of running a legit business..

It’s Not Just Filming—It’s All-in-One

A wedding videographer does everything. They shoot, edit, mix audio, work with the music, color-grade, and even fly drones (which, by the way, requires certification and you can see mine here below). Additionally, they take hours of raw footage and turn it into a 6-minute masterpiece that tells your love story.

Okay, But How Much Are We Talking?

It depends on their experience and what’s included, but a rough idea on what I see in the industry – and here is my pricing page -:

• • Newer videographers: €500 – €1.000

• • Mid-range professionals: €1.000 – €2,000

• • Top-tier, cinematic-level videographers: €2,000 – €5.000+

This wedding website has slightly different numbers, but take note; in the end, you get what you pay for.

 

So… Is It Worth It?

A hundred percent, yes. Photos are amazing, but there’s something about seeing the day unfold—hearing the vows, watching the reactions, reliving all those little moments that makes video absolutely priceless.

If you’re on the fence about it, my advice? Find room in the budget. You’ll never regret having a wedding video, but you might regret not having one.
