Wait, What About Video?
You may think wedding videographers are an entirely different world, but they're actually not. The averages for videographers generally follow the same rules that photographers do. However, you may see that average videographers actually charge slightly less.
In my opinion the reason why is wedding videography is still a fairly new industry and is still playing catch up to photography. That is a good thing for now because you can save cash, but I personally see wedding videography increasing to prices above photography in the near future, because of how much more work goes into crafting a wedding film.
To get the highest quality experience compared to price, we recommend hiring a Photo/Video Team.
This is what I offer, and the overwhelming majority of our couples hire me for both. Why should you go with a photo/video team vs hiring two separate companies? Well other than the obvious, there's several great reasons you may not think of.
You'll Save Money.
- The math is simple. If a photographer charges $4k and a videographer charges $4k, but a photo/video team charges $6k, which would you rather have?
Less Headache.
- Instead of finding and dealing with two companies, it's one. Instead of signing two contracts, you sign one. Instead of paying two retainer fees, you pay one. Instead of coordinating details with two companies, you only worry about one. So much more simple.
Less Professionals at Your Wedding.
- This one is something you may not think about, but it could ruin a perfect wedding. Most photographers come with a second. So that's two people. Cheap videographers usually are a single person team, but high quality ones also bring a second, and sometimes a third or fourth (we've seen it happen.) So that's potentially six people there on your wedding day constantly following you around.
- A photo/video team like us will usually only have two or three people tops. Almost all of our weddings are done by my fiancé and myself. So much less stress.
You Won't Sacrifice Quality.
- A good photo/video team will be able to achieve both services for you without sacrificing quality. Every wedding that we shoot both photo and video for we deliver 400+ images and a 5-7 minute long film. We also have a package where we bring in a third person and we can deliver 600+ images and a 10+ minute long film. You don't have to settle.
