I've been going back and forth with the decision to book videography since it is something very expensive to budget for. I don't want to regret not doing it though, so if anyone wants to provide some input, please help!
Lastly, anyone that did book a videographer...
1) Who did you book with?
2) Why did you choose that vendor?
3) Were you satisfied with the results?
TIA!
oh my gosh, I know exactly what you're talking about as far as budgeting for videography is concerned. It was not even something I considered until friends told me, that recently got married, that it's the one thing they love most about everything; the fact that they get to see it all again!
we didnt budget for this at all but it suddenly got to the point where i had to have it. I looked at numerous different vendors and actually just booked with 829films. They had the best package for the price.
With them I am getting 8 hours of videography with two videographers and a DVD of the finished, edited product for $1000.00. They had a $250.00 deposit and the rest is due a month before our event.
I also looked into simply cinematic. Their videos are beautiful and, with them, i would have gotten 3 DVD's of the edited movie, a documentary movie (raw footage put together), and only 3 hours of videography for $1000.00. It's really expensive, so it was hard to find someone i liked while keeping the cost somewhat low. There is also STVS Video. They offer packages for as low as $650, if memory serves me right.
Essentially i decided to go with 829films, as they take beautiful videos, they are a little newer, which is why their prices have not yet skyrocketed, both Mike and Kristina are extremely nice and professional, and it fit our budget.
They do have a FB page, if you want to check them out. I actually heard about them through another disney bride, who raved about them.
Hope this helps!
good Luck
