videographer for a decent price

i just watched my friend's wedding video which cost her $900. the entire video was edited to music, so you could never hear what was actually going on or being said. i really just want my wedding videotaped as is w/ very little editing so that I can always remember it exactly as it happened.

with that said, i can't see spending more than $300 or so for a video. I wonder if tha is a fair price considering I wouldnt want all of the editing.

    take a look at fuel videography. they will videotape your wedding without editing it and they have very decent prices.

    That's way too low-priced. You aren't going to want to watch a video that's 8 hours long of your whole day. I would just get a friend to do it then because 300 will be a non professional and a waste of money.

    I used creative cinema, he was running a special for $499. It was documentary style so it wasn't set to music, he taped for 8 hrs and edited it down to about 1hr15mins. We loved it! It probably wasn't the same artistic quality as a more expensive company but well worth the money. He managed to get every single detail and event that day.

    to me videographers are an "extra" and most of the decent ones that make your video look professional start at least $1,000

    $300 isn't bad if you only want the ceremony taped and no editing at all. we're paying about $400 for just the ceremony and minimal editing.

    I think its crazy that people think you need to spend $2000 to get a worthwhile video. That's about what I spent on pictures and I was very dissappointed in them but my $500 video was extremely worth it and made up all that was missing in my photos. I think sometimes vendors that are just starting their businesses can put in more of an effort then ones that are more established. Atleast that was my experience.

    Please please please get a video.  Even if you have a friend do it.  Pictures are great but, trust me, one day you may want to see the movement and hear your voices that pictures can't do.

    Hello ladies,

    Teddy from Creative Cinema here.  I just met with a bride today that mentioned that she found out about me through the Knot.com discussion boards and I just had to check it out!  Looks like I owe a big thanks to Liz for suggesting Creative Cinema, so thanks Liz!

    Anyways, I will be happy to answer any videography questions you might have, and I must agree with a few posters that even if it's a family member you MUST do video.
