We met with a videographer who said it would take 8-9 months to get the final video. Is that standard? The trailer will be ready 2-3 weeks after the wedding.

That's pretty standard. I feel like I'd rather wait longer and have an AMAZING product, than to have the person rush through editing and do a lesser job. Just my perspective :)

I forget how long exactly, but i was told it would be a long time. I'm okay with it because the final product will be worth it!

FH and I were a bit disappointed when we heard that too, but we look at it this way: we have longer to save up to pay it off!! (Hopefully your videographer doesn't expect final payment until the video is delivered.)

Thanks for all the advice. Actually he wants the last $500 before editing!!

Oooh... We had a $500 deposit and the remainder is split: 50% due on the wedding date, 50% upon delivery of the final video.

This is our deal too ($500 dep then 50% on wedding day and 50% when final product is ready). I'd be weary of someone wanting all the money up front.
