Bridebook’s 2026 figures put the UK average wedding videographer cost at £1,514, with most couples spending between £500 and £2,500. That range covers different kinds of bookings. A ceremony and drinks reception can be a very different job from filming preparations through to the dance floor and delivering several separate films.

What changes the price of wedding videography?
Coverage hours and locations. Work out when you want filming to begin and what you want covered at the end. If you’re getting ready in two places or travelling from an Edinburgh ceremony to a reception outside the city, share the timings and postcodes. Travel between locations takes up part of the day and can affect who can film what.
The films you receive. A short film, a longer feature, the full ceremony and the full speeches are separate edits. Two quotes can say “full-day wedding videography” and offer very different things to watch afterwards. Check the length and format of each film and whether the full recordings are included.
How the day is filmed. Ask whether one or two filmmakers will attend. Multiple camera angles can help cover both your reactions during the vows. A second filmmaker can be useful when two things are happening at once, such as preparations in separate locations. They’re different details to check in the quote.
The work after your wedding. Backing up the footage, syncing camera angles and audio, editing, colour grading and mixing the sound all take time. A quick preview, extra edits or delivery of the original camera footage may be priced separately. Ask what’s included and when each film is due.
How to compare wedding videography packages
| Compare | Ask each filmmaker |
|---|---|
| The wedding day | What time do you arrive and leave? What would an extra hour cost? |
| Ceremony and speeches | Are both delivered in full? How will you record voices in our venue? |
| Finished films | How many edits will we get, how long are they, and can we watch full examples? |
| Final price | Does the total include travel, accommodation if needed, and VAT where applicable? |
| Delivery | When are the films due, how do we download them, and how long is online access available? |
Can you book a wedding videographer for half a day?
Some filmmakers offer shorter coverage. Build the window around your actual timetable. A 1 pm ceremony and 5 pm speeches, for example, leave little room in a four-hour booking once you allow for setup and speeches running over. Moving the speeches before the meal or extending coverage could give you more breathing room. Ask your venue and filmmaker what fits the day you want.
