How much does wedding videography cost?

The honest answer is that wedding videography in South East Queensland tends to sit anywhere from around $1,500 for a shorter or ceremony focused package up to $4,000 or more for full day coverage with two shooters and a longer film. The big swings in price come down to how many hours you want covered, whether it is one operator or two, and how much editing goes into the final product. A short highlights film and a full day documentary edit are very different amounts of work behind the scenes, and that is usually where the price difference really lives.

One thing worth knowing as you compare quotes: ask who actually edits the footage and where. The day of filming is honestly the smaller part of the job. The hours of culling, colour grading, syncing audio and cutting a film together are where your wedding either comes alive or falls flat. With us, every film is edited in-house by the same team who shot your day, never sent offshore, so the people who felt the room are the ones shaping the final cut. That continuity is hard to put a dollar figure on but you feel it when you watch it back.

My practical tip is to work out what you most want to relive first, then match a package to that rather than to a number. If it is the vows and the speeches that will make you cry in ten years, prioritise audio and ceremony coverage. If it is the dance floor and the energy, look for coverage that runs deep into the reception. Once you know that, the right price becomes a lot clearer, and most of us will happily tailor something to your run sheet and budget rather than box you into a set tier.

Additionally, different videographers may have different pricing structures, packages, and add-on services.

On average, however, in the Australia, wedding videography packages can range anywhere from $2,000 to $15,000 or more.

There are companies which charge $2500 and those which charge $5000 +. I'd say for true quality, look about the $2500 mark.

I'd be questioning those under $2500 why they are so cheap - as they'd be cutting costs somewhere.

Around 2500-3500 depends on the hours you would like to film.

It really just depends on lots of factors, the most important thing to think about is quality of work vs cost. When you are looking at videographers you really need to see the type of work that goes into creating these films. For us, we take so much time not only on the day but in post-production to create the best film for our clients possible. 

If someone is priced lower the quality and care that goes into it won't be as high and therefore you may have issues either before or after with them. 

At the end of the day whatever works for each person but think about the memory this video will provide and really it is priceless.
