Now i'm panicking about a videographer!!!!

Hiya,

I havnt booked anyone yet but Im deffinately going to get one. Alot of poeple I know at work (7!!!) are getting married and Im the only person that wants a videographer.

So if you dont get it dont be too worried...but as your friends pointed out there are lots of things you wont see from your point of view on teh day and its nice to have that extra view. Also I know the whoel thing is just going to fly by so want to be able to watch it back. I think personaly the pictures just going to be enough for me lol

Good luck what ever you decide..

p.s. The websites Ive looked at on a general search for the essex area have prices ranging from £700 to over £3k depending what bits you want...its all packaged very similierly to a photographer. Outside london and surrounding areas will be cheaper

I live in kent and wedding is in sussex so sadly we have fallen into the most expensive bracket for everything we've booked!!!

Maybe i should get OH to call round some old contacts etc and see if anyone would do it for us! He's done it for loads of friends as a wedding present so really annoying to pay so much for it ourselves!! Still am not having H2B there with his camera, that would be crazy!!!

Hey we live in hertfordshire and we have booked one as we want to be able to relive the day, its costing us 795 which we thought was a pretty good price and there are no hidden extras if we run late i would say go for it if you can his name if you want to look him up is nathan bamford xx

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. As he is an ex pro, he should appreciate that his art cannot be taught in a few minutes. Additionally, there is the audio element. No on camera microphone is really good enough.

If you can afford it, I would recommend that you do have this done professionally by a company that keeps themselves in the background.....and tell him to relax and have fun on the day and not worry about concentrating on anything apart from you!!!!

There's a company called fly on the wall and they were fairly reasonable, pretty sure they advertise on here. To be honest I wasn't sure about having one, having it for my families benefit, so cost was a factor. Look them up they are based in South London but travel to home counties

That's who we are having

We're paying £799 for 8 hours coverage. Chris from curiousweddings.co.uk - based in Surrey. I have a feeling (might be wrong) that it could be easier to get a good videographer at this stage than it would to find a photographer so don't panic yet! see how much money you have left and then send out some emails and see what prices people come back with. your OH will appreciate having this memory to look back on, and also that he wont have to stress on the day

good luck - it's SO close, aaaaaH!xx

I am trying to work out your actual day. Is it 15 or 16th July? If so, and depending wehere in Sussex, I may be able to help. Please email me from hitched or contact me via website.

I am offering a World Cup Special deal in June and July.

Thanks guys - i think we are going to have a budget add up and see if its even possible. Plus don't know if we'll find someone at this notice.

Bod - i have never emailed through here before but i'll have a go...its 17th July.

I am sorry for not being able to work out your date (I am not sure where the callander is gone) but I am booked for Saturday 17th already. Sorry.

Good luck, though.

Regards,

Bob

We're having these too, really reasonable and Ive had good contact with them.

Might be worth a try x

Ive gone for fly on the wall too. they're prices were easily the most affordable I could find and have also had very good contact with them. there website is flyonthewallfilm.co.uk

Hope you figure something out anyway!

I am a wedding photographer but have recently started providing video as well so I am very used to working at weddings and have five weddings under my belt as a videographer. In 2010 I am offering some very reasonably priced weddings to get the practice and footage for marketing purposes. If you may be interested do send me an email ***@**************.*** I am free on July 17th and in Sussex. I am filming Moya's wedding next week so I am sure she will give me a reference (hopefully good!)

There are a few short highlights clips on my website www.beverleydownie.com
