Wedding Videography Pricing: How to Price Packages and Add-Ons

Wedding videography is priced by coverage hours, number of shooters, and the deliverables — a highlight film, a full ceremony edit, a same-day edit — with packages commonly ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000 for typical coverage and $6,000 or more for premium, multi-shooter work. Because edit time is the hidden cost, price the whole workflow, not just the wedding day.

What goes into a wedding video package price?

• Coverage: hours on site, from getting ready through the reception.
• Crew: one shooter versus a lead and a second shooter, plus audio support.
• Deliverables: a 3-to-5-minute highlight film, a full-length ceremony and toasts, a teaser, raw footage.
• Edit time: often 20 to 40 hours or more for a full package.
• Equipment, music licensing, drone coverage and travel.

How should you structure packages?

Offer three tiers with clear differences. A basic package might cover the ceremony and key moments with a highlight film. A middle package adds more coverage hours, a second shooter and a full ceremony edit. A premium package adds a teaser, a same-day edit or a documentary-style film. Make the middle tier the obvious best value.

Which add-ons and policies protect your margin?

Charge for extra hours, additional shooters, drone footage, same-day edits, raw footage, rush delivery and travel. Set a delivery timeline in the contract, with revisions limited to a stated number. Use a retainer to hold the date, a payment schedule and a clear cancellation policy.

How do you present the price?

Lead with the value: what the couple will have to keep and share, not just hours. Show sample films for each tier. Be transparent about what is included, and explain that the price reflects days of editing and years of gear and experience. Send a written proposal within a day of the inquiry.

How much do wedding videographers charge?

Commonly a few thousand dollars for standard coverage, with premium multi-shooter packages higher. Price to your market, experience and costs.

Should I include raw footage?
