With the soaring cost of professional wedding videos, it helps to keep in mind a few money-saving tips. Here's a wrap-up:
Ask for any "ceremony-only" discounts.
Many professional videographers offer discounted "ceremony-only" packages that cost 40 percent to 60 percent less than complete packages. For the reception, consider asking friends and relatives to bring their video cameras to shoot footage, but make sure they have a tripod and extra batteries.
Make your own package deal.
Fewer bells and whistles (post-editing, special effects) mean less time for the videographer. Ask if they can work out a special package that meets your budget and scaled-back needs.
Request a volume-discount for tape copies.
If you need several copies, the video company may be able to offer you a volume discount off their normal prices.
Use multi-camera coverage only at the ceremony.
While it's a nice luxury to have two or three cameras to cover the wedding ceremony, it may be overkill at the reception.
Negotiate lower rates for less-popular wedding days or months.
