Cinematic Wedding Video

KatyWeiss

Hi ladies!  Can anyone recommend a cinematic wedding videographer... an AFFORDABLE cinematic wedding videographer?  We're paying for our wedding totally on our own... and we would love to have a highlight video to remember our special day, but I can't spend the prices that some of these vendors are quoting- I saw one that wanted 6900!  YIKES!  That's more than our entire wedding budget!  

Suggestions?

<div>Have you looked at Wedding Fanatics? They seem to have the best packages/pricing that I've found thus far for the "cinematic" look -- but that said, I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for. Still, check them out. Their pricing is right on the website which I love.</div><div>

</div><div>All the other videographers I've inquired at have started at $6K or so. Yikes.</div><div>
</div><div>ETA - I haven't used them, just found them online myself!</div>

Thank you!  Their website is down right now.. but I'll keep checking.

Really! It looks like it's still up to me, weird. Anyway the samples are here - http://www.weddingfanatics.com/blog/category/video-samples/

And if you find any other videographers please let me know! I really want the short film look . . . but I just can't justify spending $8K on the videographer.... eep.

I recommend Optix studios.

This is a newer company (2009 I think), but it's run by a really awesome girl who went to my university.  She's very talented (she's got videos on her website), and I think her prices are much more reasonable compared to others (1,000-2,500 range).

It was up this morning when I checked.  Their work is lovely.  

Thanks for the other recommendation Monkeysip!

I'm really hoping I can fit a videographer into my budget.

When my brother got married he used Wedding fanatics.  They are a fantastic husband-wife duo and their work is great.  The best part is that their prices are the most affordable compared to other videographers.

Hands down, Blue Star Video has the cinematic look most of us are looking for...at least me anyway. Prices are real affordable for the level of work they do.
