Lowest price you heard of or paid for Videographer?

I am debating whether to get a videographer or not. I already booked my photographer but if I add the videographer to my package, it would cost an extra $1500.

I'd rather not spend $1500 for video - at this point, I am willing to just get someone who may be new in this business or not as well known for a low rate just so I have some video covering my event.

Can anyone recommend a cheap videographer?

TYIA!

I would be willing to a video if I could get it for really cheap. Im about toblow a big chunk on photos so my video budget is thin and basically non existent. I agree with the statement of you get what you pay for though... so it may be better to not go with a video anyway..

That is not true all the time....check out Couped up Productions!! He has great stuff and he has fabulous reviews on here

cityvideographer.com offers edited packages beginning at $600! We might use him if it fits into the budget (video is not hugely important to us).

I haven't gotten my video yet so I can't tell you how it will be (I just haven't been bugging our videographer -- I still owe him money and he still owes me the video, but it just isn't that big a deal to me)... anyway, we weren't going to get one, but our photographer gave me a name and he cut me a great deal for about $800. (I still owe him half lol.) I just wanted a video of the important things like our first kiss and my grandfather's toast (and my dad's). I figure it'll really be for our children someday more than for me.

I was wondering if you could send me FM on who your videographer was
