How long was/is your wedding video?

SpringBride2015, on June 5, 2015 at 12:42 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

We've decided to hire a videographer for the wedding and are basically getting a fairly inexpensive package. When looking through the packages the videos aren't really that long. I'm thinkging for the money we're spending (about a grand) that it would be longer than 3 minutes. I assumed wedding videos would be much longer.

Is that the norm that videos are really short? Or is it just my videographer?

    Our ceremony will be at least 15-30mins and reception is 2.5hrs. So I don't want it to be recorded, photos are just enough.

    Our video had a 7 minute montage, a 1 minute dance montage and we will have the raw video on top of these. This was their top package.

    I have seen other companies charge 1k for like a movie trailer-type video. They have to do the filming, editing, etc. This seems about right.

    That seems awfully expensive for 3 minutes! I would have figured at least the entire ceremony and maybe an hour of moments from your reception?

    Our "highlight" video is supposed to be around 8 min...if I ever get it!

    Thanks for the info ladies! I believe what we have is the trailer type video. I believe that should be sufficient especially when we initially weren't going to hire one.

    Mine says 3 months but COULD take up to 6. I'm a little annoyed because we had acquaintances get married at our same venue two weeks before and hired the same video person and got their video back a month after their wedding. Just add that to the list of things the same vendors did better for their wedding than ours...
