Is a wedding videographer worth it?

I’m torn 50/50! I’d love a video of our wedding day so much, but £1500 for the cheapest videographer is something that I’m struggling to come to terms with budget wise. Also, we have a friend doing our photography, so I’d feel bad that they are doing it for free and the videographer is paid!


Id like to find out:
Who has had a wedding videographer and is it truly worth it? Who didn’t have one and only had photos - do you regret it? Who’s thinking of having one/not having one and why? Any help with my decision will be greatly appreciated as I’m so stuck!
