Multiple videographers to capture angles

Setting aside more of your wedding budget for videography means that you’ll likely be able to afford multiple camera operators to cover your wedding day.

At larger weddings, where upwards of 100 people are invited, it can be difficult to get complete coverage with just one camera.

Luxury wedding videography packages usually include two or more camera operators, who are capable of capturing the entire day from every possible angle and show particularly close attention to detail in their work.

Personalised finished product

The final edit of your film may be largely uncut and ad hoc if you choose a budget videographer, whereas a high-end wedding film is likely to have been carefully edited and curated to have a more emotional impact.

How you receive your final wedding film will also vary depending on the videography company that you choose. A budget videographer may choose to simply supply you with a limited-time link via email that you can use to download your video and then do with as you wish.

A more luxury wedding film may be delivered in a personalised format, such as a set of DVDs or an engraved USB stick.

Access to a licensed drone pilot

Aerial footage captured using a drone tends to be one of the differentiating factors between high-end wedding videographers and budget wedding film packages. Drones can cost thousands of pounds, require larger vehicles for transport and must also be flown by trained, licensed pilots who are simultaneously experienced in wedding photography. When used correctly, wedding drone videography can add a sense of scale and occasion that cheaper wedding films may go without.

Quick turnaround time

A luxury wedding videography company should guarantee a quick turnaround time as part of their package. Only high-end businesses are able to prioritise editing your film, whilst keeping their schedule busy with shooting other wedding films. The standard turnaround time for a high-end videographer is 4-weeks, however, you may find that you can pay a premium to get your wedding film even sooner. Some companies even offer a same-day or next-day edit, for those who wish to relive their wedding day as soon as possible!

Luxury destination wedding videography

Most wedding videographers will only travel to their local areas. For example, wedding videographers in Lancashire are more likely to travel to nearby regions such as Cheshire or Manchester. Some budget videographers are more likely to only travel within a certain distance from where they’re based and will likely not have the logistics in place to travel overseas.

However, high-end wedding videographers literally go the extra mile. Whether you’re getting married on a country estate in the UK, or are travelling to Tuscany, Paris or Maui to tie the knot, only high-end wedding videographers will make the journey to film your big day and do so without compromising the final product.

Is a high-end wedding videographer worth it?

Investing in a high-end wedding videographer will be worth it to those wanting to keep returning to those memories time and time again. The average wedding in the UK in 2019 was over £16,000, but this figure doesn’t include the hundreds of luxury weddings that likely cost much more than this. When thousands of pounds are being invested in venues, a wedding photographer, food and entertainers it makes sense to set aside some of the budget for a high-end videographer who is able to capture the day’s events in suitable style, so that the entire wedding’s scale and expense can be truly reflected in the wedding film.

Will I regret not paying for a luxury wedding videographer?

In some cases, you may find yourself regretting not setting money aside for a luxury wedding videographer as the cheaper alternatives can sometimes fall short in capturing the entire day in its best light. Do it yourself, or camera hire packages can offer great value to those on a tight budget, but then you must rely on your guests to film the wedding, which they might not be able to do to your standards. In other cases, settling for a budget videographer could mean that only a section of the day is filmed and not edited to the cinematic wedding video standard of high-end videographers.
