  We are doing a video at FI's insistance. We went with The Pros for our package. They were the most affordable and we really like the person we met and booked him right there and he has met with us independently too. I know a lot of Brides say not to use The Pros but we are using them and they have been extremely professio0nal and helpful and we like what they do.

  I agree with you!  Videography can be really expensive especially when I've been looking at professional venders. I am determined to find something that will fit my budget though!  I started looking on Craigslist to try to find some more affordable local options, you might want to check there.  Here's one that's HD and is actually under a $1,000:  http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/crs/2156432365.html
  
  Good luck on your search!

  Hiring my videographer was the best decision I made for my wedding.  Bryan and Tracy who own the company are just amazing people. I had no intention of having one at the beginning but the day goes by in an instant and I am so glad I can look back on it.  I will warn you that mine are out of Tampa so travel would be cost extra but I think they are the best money can buy.  Here's my wedding trailer

  Mine was about $2400 for everything.

  I really want videography at our wedding, but we simply cannot afford it.  When I was still in search, I never found anything close to what I wanted for $1K here in the DC area.  Good for you!!

  Hi. I was on the fence about a videographer too. I couldnt decide if it was worth it. I asked a lot of married friends about it and they pretty much all said the same thing- That they have watched it maybe twice since they have been married and most of my friends have been married 5 plus years. So i decided to go with the least expensive package with the least expenisve videographer i could find bc in the end i wanted to have the option to re-live my wedding even if its only two times in my life! ha! Just my two cents. Good Luck!

  I was able to get Blue Sky Films to about $2k with all the bells and whistles but they have cheaper packages, just not with all the editing included.  I'm with you all tho, I'd like to find something under $1k.
