if i hire a videographer just for the ceremony will it be cheaper than the whole day?

Typically, hiring a videographer for just the ceremony may be cheaper than hiring them for the entire day, as it requires less time and resources. However, the specific pricing and packages may vary among different videographers, so it's always best to inquire about their pricing and packages directly to get a clear understanding of the costs involved. Additionally, keep in mind that while having video coverage of just the ceremony may capture an important moment, having video coverage of the entire day can provide a more complete and memorable representation of your wedding day.

Yes. We offer a separate package that allows you to relive the ceremony a year down the line as if you are there again on the day.

It will be cheaper, but ultimately, you want to have the cinematographer as long as possible so he is able to capture the best parts of your day. For instance, if you book them for only 6 hours, which 6 hours will you choose? if its for the ceremony and some locations, you will miss out on the best parts of the morning preperation and setup. those moments you can appreciate later on. the same applies for the reception, this amazing period of time will be lost. So yes, it will be cheaper, but unlike the flowers and the cake, which will only last one day, your films will last forever...which one will you remember more? this is what your budget should focus on.

Realistically a videographer would like to be booked for the whole day as it takes his/her services out of the equation for bigger jobs. Videographers starting out will be chomping at the bit so to speak and offer you basic Ceremony only services and if that is all you require then this may be the best option. However if you are looking for something of a high standard with a reputable provider it's unlikely they will be keen to jump on a ceremony only job unless it worked around an existing job. Weekday weddings would have more flexibility as opposed to peak days such as Saturday.

Absolutely. But some videographers have a set call-out fee. Sometimes this is $350 even if it's just for an hour. So ask about packages because you might get a 3 hour package for $500 and it's much better value. 

Most of the times it will. Some studios might not be interested in working for a smaller pay where as some other ones can offer a fair rate. My advice would be always get a quote from at least 3 videographers before making your decision. 

Yes, absolutely. We offer custom packages that can be built to suit your specific needs and wants, and we only charge for what we do and the time spent to do it!

yes, most of the time. Some companies don't offer Ceremony only

YES for sure!  Here at Sapphire we have introduced a Ceremony only package, as sometimes they do not want the whole day and night filmed.  Its it fully edited along with a multi camera shoot the same as our bigger packages, along with the quality.   The only difference is the time factor and cost.

Thank you
