Wedding Film Pricing

Wedding Videography Pricing

Three films. Real prices. One person behind all of it. Every package is shot and edited by me, start to finish. All three include full-day coverage - the tiers differ in what's preserved as standalone films and how it's delivered. Prices are on this page. No calls needed to find out.

Which film fits your day

Start here before you compare.

Most couples know roughly what they want before they look at the pricing. Here's a quick read to confirm it.

If your priority is a well-edited highlight reel you'll actually share

Highlight Film

A 3-5 minute highlight film of the day - moments, energy, a recap built to share. Two-camera coverage from getting-ready through reception, with the standout vow line or speech moment landing in the cut. No separate full ceremony or speeches films. The honest entry point if you want the day captured well without the full feature treatment.

If you want every part of the day preserved, without choosing what to leave out

Signature Film

Every film, every add-on, one fixed price: a 15-minute highlight, full ceremony film, full speeches film, teaser, engagement shoot, FOMO chronological cut, Love Notes guestbook, four-camera coverage, 8-week priority delivery, plus an unconditional re-edit within 30 days. Heirloom scope - nothing to configure, nothing left out.

Why Signature makes sense

The add-ons add up. The Signature Film doesn't.

Once you start stacking add-ons onto a Documentary Film, the maths tips fast. Signature bundles the full set at basically the same price - and throws in a longer highlight, four-camera coverage, and the Re-Edit Promise on top.

Documentary Film (base)$3,299
+ Teaser Film$599

If built separately$6,994
Signature Film$6,999
Plus up to 15 min highlight film (up from 10)Included
Plus two additional cameras (four total)Included
Plus The Re-Edit PromiseIncluded

Basically the same price - plus a longer highlight film, four-camera coverage, and an unconditional re-edit within 30 days of delivery at no extra cost.

Wedding Film Add-Ons

Extend what's included.

Available to add to Highlight or Documentary at booking. If you're considering more than two of these, compare the Signature Film above - it includes five add-ons in one price.

More coverage

Full Ceremony Film

$999
Highlight only as add-on

Your ceremony captured end to end, from processional through vows and rings to the pronouncement. Clean professional audio so every word is clear, multi-camera coverage so every reaction is held. Delivered as a standalone film alongside your highlight.

Included in Documentary + Signature

Full Speeches Film

$999
Highlight only as add-on

Every speech edited into a standalone film - parents, best man, maid of honour, your own thank-yous. Clean audio from wireless lapel mics, reaction coverage of the room, cuts kept tight without losing the moments that land. Unedited runtime preserved in full.

Included in Documentary + Signature

FOMO Film

$699
Highlight + Documentary

A complete chronological cut of your full day - everything captured, nothing trimmed for pacing. Runs long by design, for when you want to sit through the moments you missed the first time. Delivered alongside your highlight as a separate film.

Included in Signature
Lock in before the day

Engagement Shoot

$799
Highlight + Documentary

A 1-2 hour pre-wedding session, booked four to six weeks out, at a location that means something to you - a favourite walk, where you met, the venue itself. Gets the camera shyness out of the way, and the footage is woven into the opening of your highlight film.

Included in Signature

Love Notes Film

$699
Highlight + Documentary

A 3-5 minute film of short guest messages recorded at a quiet corner of reception, a kind of video guestbook. Delivered as a standalone edit alongside your highlight.

Included in Signature

Wedding Content Creator

$999
All packages

A dedicated content creator working alongside me, focused entirely on vertical social clips. Captures candid moments, reception energy, and behind-the-scenes coverage. Edited and delivered within 48 hours so you can post while the day is still fresh.

Extras and delivery

FAQ

Common Questions About Wedding Videography

Everything you need to know about booking your Auckland wedding videographer. If something is missing, get in touch.

How far in advance should I book?

Most couples book 8-14 months out. Popular summer dates (November-March) go quickly - if you have a date in mind, reach out early.

Do you travel outside Auckland?

Yes. I cover all of New Zealand. Travel costs apply for weddings more than 60km from central Auckland - I'll include these in your quote.

What if we're awkward on camera?

Most couples say this. I work documentary-style, which means I'm in the background capturing what's actually happening - not directing you into poses. By mid-morning you'll have forgotten I'm there.

Can I see a full-length film before booking?

Yes. Full-length films are on the homepage - play any one of them straight through to see what you're booking, not just a highlight reel.

What happens if you get sick?

I have a network of trusted Auckland videographers I can call on as backup if something genuinely prevents me from being there. The plan exists and I take it seriously - your day gets covered either way.

How is the film delivered?

You get your own private, password-protected page on my website - every film from your wedding in one place, streaming in 4K, with the original files available to download. The page doesn't expire. Share the link with family and keep coming back to it for years.

What audio equipment do you use?

Both of you get mic'd with wireless lavs, so every vow and whispered reaction lands clean. Every mic runs into multiple backups - if one fails, another is already rolling. I also capture ambient sound across the venue and weave it through the film, so the crowd reactions, laughter, and applause you hear are the real ones from your day.

Can I choose the music?

No - I only use tracks I hold the license for, which means I can't use copyrighted songs (your favourite radio hit, for example). This is a feature, not a limitation: your film can be shared anywhere online without getting muted, blocked, or taken down for copyright. I pick the music to match the mood of your day, and the Re-Edit Promise on Signature covers a full recut if you'd like a different feel.

How long until we receive our film?

Highlight Film and Documentary Film: within 12 weeks. Signature Film: within 8 weeks. I'll send a progress update if anything changes.

What package do most couples choose?

Documentary Film is the most common choice - it preserves the full ceremony and speeches while keeping the highlight format. Signature Film suits couples who want the heirloom production: longer film, engagement shoot, FOMO Film, and the Re-Edit Promise.

Is a deposit required to book?

Yes. A 50% deposit is required to lock in your date. The balance is due 7 days before your wedding. No date is held without a signed contract and deposit.

What if the day runs over time?

Non-issue. Every package includes full-day coverage built around what you actually want filmed - agreed up front, then I'm there for all of it with no hourly clock ticking. If the ceremony starts late or speeches run long, I keep rolling. No surprise invoices for extra hours.

Ready to check your date

Tell me your date. I'll let you know if I'm free.

No obligation. No hard sell. Just your date, venue, and which package caught your eye - and I'll get back to you within one business day.
