If you think about it, you’ll likely remember your wedding as the most memorable day of your life. You’ll want to remember your big day for a long time. While wedding photography is a wonderful way to remember your special day, there are some things that just can’t be portrayed in a just photos alone. This is where wedding videography becomes a valuable asset. Wedding videographers are experts at preserving the joy and emotions of your big day on film. Their only goal is to capture emotions, expressions, hilarious moments, and relationships between family and friends that are hard to show with images. Video allows a fuller story to be told.
You’ll look back on your wedding video for years to come and remember and relive the experience on that important day. While photos offer the same feeling, seeing your wedding day again with motion and sound is a completely different experience.
How Much Does Toronto Wedding Videography Cost
In order to best plan to have a wedding videographer, you’ll need to have an idea on how much hiring one will cost so that you can incorporate that into your budget.
A number of factors will determine the cost of hiring a wedding videographer. There are other elements to consider, including your location, the package you choose, and the number of videographers you hire. Although wedding videography does not have a defined price, the following is a breakdown of average costs based on Canadian experts:
- Average Cost: $3,700
- Minimum Cost: $2,500
- Maximum Cost: $6,500
During the meeting, we will discuss a number of key items in detail, such as where your venue is so that we can begin to build a better visual and can picture how your day will unfold. This will also help us to determine how possible shots will look like and where in the venue they will take place. We will also be discussing the type of wedding ceremony you will have and if there will be personalized vows, which will help us to determine the best audio setup needed during the ceremony. Our team will also need to know the total of number of guests that you plan to have attend, as well as your bridal party size and how everyone will be getting around (eg. private limo or carpool).
Wedding Videography Package Pricing
Toronto wedding videography prices are frequently dependent on their packages, with the price varying depending on whichever package you choose. The basic packages will be the most affordable and offer you the base necessities, while the premium ones will be more expensive but will also cover every situation.
Basic Wedding Videography Package
The most affordable plan which normally includes a highlights wedding video and a short (under 1 minute) trailer to share on social media. The wedding ceremony, speeches, and reception will normally be filmed by a single videographer. Some of the unedited film may also be sent to you in the form of raw footage.
Mid-Tier Wedding Videography Package
The mid-range package is the next step up. A second videographer is generally included in this package to capture more footage of the day. Everything from the bride and groom getting ready in the morning through to the first dance. This package may also include a feature-length film recapping your special day, as well as a highlights reel, and will normally still include your raw footage.
Premium Wedding Videography Package
The most premium level package provides a more comprehensive service. Two videographers are normally included in the premium package tier to document your special day. Aerial footage of your wedding is sometimes included. A feature-length film recapping your special day, as well as a highlights reel, and raw footage is bundled in with this package.
Average Cost of a Wedding Videographer Based on Package
- Basic Package: $3,500
- Mid-Range: $4,500
- Premium: $6,500
How Many Wedding Videographers Are Needed
The number of videographers you choose will have a significant impact on the cost of your wedding videography. Some couples opt to have only one videographer film their wedding day, which helps to keep costs down. Other couples, on the other hand, opt to hire two videographers to ensure that there is enough coverage available and that nothing is missed.
If you want to ensure that none of your key moments are missed, it’s always highly recommended that you hire a second or even third videographer if you have a large enough wedding. If you hire multiple videographers for your wedding, both bride and groom can be filmed getting ready in the morning of their wedding for example, and you’ll have multiple angles during the ceremony and more shots of your guests during the reception.
Choosing to hire more than one videographer, on the other hand, will of course raise the cost of your wedding videography. So while it is something to think about, it’s also crucial to consider your budget as well as what you want from your wedding videography.
