I wasn't going to have one but my sister convinced me that maybe I should. I was going to just count on our own video cameras. I have seen some videos of other weddings and yes, they are beautiful BUT a lot of the funny and silly memories are not captured. I want it all! Should I even book one? Or should I just rely on everyone else's camera?

The $64k question when it comes to videography: what's your budget?

Maybe $1400 the most! Or is this too cheap? I have no clue! Haha

I want to just add that I have found a few in the NYC area who become much more affordable if you ask for unedited footage only. This is what I plan on doing so I can get the quality that I want. I'm familiar with video editing so I may edit it myself down the road, but you can always have someone else edit it for you after the wedding. You could think of it as a 1 year anniversary present!
