Question

How much would you pay for a videographer to film your big day and put it on dvd?

Answer 1

I would say up to $1,500. But not more...

It also depends how long it is. We paid $1,200 for six hours.

If your wedding will be shorter, it pays to ask for a lower price.

Answer 2

Since my photographer didnt do video i had to hire two seperate people. i paid the photographer $1360 and the videographer $1200. i know it was a lot of money but they were both totally worth it. they filmed and photographed us from the moment we woke up until the very end. it was great.

Answer 3

Probably nothing. We didn't want to have our wedding videoed. A friend did tape the wedding, and I was horrified to watch it. I much prefer my own memories of the day to the video.

Answer 4

800

Answer 5

Not very helpful I don't suppose but, nothing.  I don't want a dvd of mine - the photos will be enough and with all the other expense I don;t feel it is worth while.

Answer 6

It depends. How many cameras are there? How long will they be there? I think Photography and Videography are the most important things on your big day (other than marrying the love of your life) - it's the only thing that leaves us the memory of that day! I wouldn't pay more than $2K.

Answer 7

Congratulations by the way!  I paid our video guy £675.  He was there with one camera from 1.30pm until about 9.30pm and the results are amazing.  Makes me cry everytime I watch it. Good luck.

Answer 8

i suppose something like that...alot of money..if i had that sort of money mind you a member of my family did mine for free...

and now getting it converted to dvd for £15...

if i had the money probs like £1000 tops  

Answer 9

Depends where in the world you are hun, i know in England it's sooooooooooo expensive ! i would rather do with out than pay those prices but in Kenya i'm paying £140.

If your on a budget why don't you go to the local collage or university and see if you can get a film student to do it for you a little cheaper or even free i'm sure they would love to gain the experience.  

Answer 10

I think we paid around $800 maybe. It was worth every penny./ There are certain things that I would splerge on and the videographer and photographer were them.
