Proposal Video

About to pop the question? If you’re looking for a proposal idea that’ll take their breath away, propose with a video.

• When can we expect the video to be ready?

WEDDING VIDEO PRICES

Like many aspects of a wedding, there is a lot of variety in wedding videography pricing. Before you settle on a videographer, here are a few cost-related things to think about:

• Set a budget: Before you start talking to a videographer, think about how much you can set aside for your wedding videography.
• Ask about packages: Some videographers will give you a la carte pricing and others will have packages that can bring down costs.
• Read over your contract: Make sure everything you want is included. Be very clear on what you’re getting. If it’s not in the contract, you can’t expect it on your wedding day.

Sign your contract quickly: Though you should take time to read it over, don’t wait too long to sign a great videographer! They might get snapped up by another couple.
