Videographer like Capture but less!

KSForest

I've seen True2Life, Capture the Moments and eMotion but I'm still looking for a better option. We want to spend under $1k and get coverage from the ceremony through at least the first dance.
Thanks for your help ladies!

Another knottie (Jenn920) is using emotion media (right jenn??), not sure of the prices but they are talented as well!

I'm getting Ceremony & Reception coverage for $600 through True2Life, and that includes the mileage fee for Michelle to go to Chaska.

Are you looking for ones similar to Capture Studios or Capture the Moments?

Honestly, there's not much like Capture Studios... that's why they're rated the top videographer in the country in many publications. I have seen some nice ones that have a similar look. Highlights Video by Brady does a nice job and Brady is very nice too. He does it for cheaper, but I don't think under $1000. It may be tricky to find that long of coverage in that same style at that price. Just letting you know... I've done lots of research for that too and we ended up just cutting it out of our budget . I love Matt from Capture - he's amazing.. he also has a lot of equipment that is HD etc.. w/ many setups that help the fluidity of his shots, that's why he charges a ton - and let's face it - he's amazing and he can! Good luck! Let me know if you find anyone!

<div>I've done a lot of research and completely agree.  You won't find anything close to Capture's quality, etc. especially for under the 1000 price point.  You are playing for some pretty amazing equipment and a lot of editing time too.</div>

not under $1000, but about half the price of capture:

i wish i had used a videographer, whatever you end up doing is better than no videographer!

Yup I am using eMotion and I think they are amazing!!  Definitely the closest to Capture that I have seen.  Dan, the lead videographer, is phenomenal - so pleasant in person and very talented!  He brings 2 assistants to shoot as well, so you are getting a ton of film from every angle.  Capture was so far out of our budget, we didn't even consider it, but when I met with Dan at eMotion, I was sold.  Our package is over $1000, but we are getting exactly what we want and I think it is money very well spent. 

If you want high quality, you just have to accept that you're going to have to pay for it.  Professional, experienced amazing videographers aren't looking to sell their services of filming and editing for pennies.
