Average Cost Of A Wedding Videographer In The UK For 2026
[Updated for 2025] Wedding planning is a huge endeavour, knowing how much to invest in each vendor can be tricky. Let me show you the hows and whys wedding videographers charge what they do and help you understand how much you should spend on your wedding videographer.
How Much Does A Wedding Videographer Cost In The UK?
The cost of hiring a wedding videographer in the UK can vary widely based on several factors. On average, for a 10-hour wedding day and post-production editing, you can expect to pay between £1,500 and £5,000. However, this range can fluctuate based on the videographer's experience, equipment, location, and specific requirements of the wedding.
What factors influence the cost of wedding videography?
Several factors can impact the cost, including: The location of the wedding and the videographer's base, the size of the videography team and the duration of coverage, the videographer's experience and expertise, the equipment used, and post-production requirements.
What can I expect in different budget ranges for wedding videography?
Under £2,000: Typically newer videographers. £2,000 - £3,000: A mix of experience and services. £3,000 - £4,000: Seasoned professionals offering tailored packages. Above £4,000: Elite videographers with bespoke services.
How should I allocate my wedding budget for videography?
Wedding experts recommend allocating 5-10% of your total wedding budget to videography. Given the average UK wedding costs, this means your videography budget should ideally be around £2,400 for an average UK wedding. If video is a priority, couples allocate closer to 12-15% for high end cinematic style films.
Why is post-production and editing crucial in determining videography costs?
Post-production transforms raw footage into a cohesive narrative. It involves selecting shots, sequencing, adding music, and more. The editing style plays a role in the final look of the film. Depending on complexity, a quality wedding film can take between 20 and 80 hours to edit, influencing the overall cost.
