Wedding Videographer Prices in Ireland

What couples actually pay in 2025

If you want a film you’ll rewatch with clean vows, natural moments, and a short cut that feels cinematic; expect to budget €2,100-2,400. That’s the zone where most couples end up: full-day coverage, a crafted highlight film, and full ceremony and speeches delivered alongside it.

Yes, you can pay less. Some budget videographers will cover a full day for €1,200-1,900. But the finished product is usually a long, minimally edited record of what happened—think around an hour—rather than a tightly shaped short film.

At the higher end, €3,000+ typically buys you two videographers, more angles and reactions, and the extra time in post-production that lifts the final piece from “nicely filmed” to “this feels like us.”

Why prices vary so much

Hours, add-ons, and travel all nudge the price. But the main differentiator is the film you receive. A great wedding film isn’t just a set of clips; it’s the choices made during shooting and editing—where to stand, what to prioritise, how to weave sound and picture so the day feels alive years later.

That craft takes time and, often, a second pair of hands. It’s why the mid and luxury bands, even when both say “full day,” can sit hundreds of euro apart.

What you get at each level

Budget (€1,200-1,900)
Budget options are always a solo shooter. Some offer full-day coverage, others limit hours, but the style leans toward straightforward documentation. Expect a long, minimally edited film (around an hour) that shows the day as it unfolded. You should still receive full ceremony and speeches as separate edits, often cut from multiple angles, though angles and audio may be simpler than at higher tiers.

Mid-tier (€2,000-3,000)
This is the sweet spot for many couples. Coverage is usually full day. The headline deliverable is a 7-10 minute crafted short film that focuses on story, pacing, colour, and sound. Alongside it, you’ll get full ceremony and speeches cut multi-cam. Most mid-range bookings are still solo-shooter on the day, sometimes with assistance during peak moments; the upgrade to a second shooter is often available and worth asking about if morning prep happens in two locations.

Luxury (€3,000+)
Luxury means two videographers as standard. More angles, better reaction coverage, stronger safety if something blocks a shot, and more material for the edit. You’ll still receive a short crafted film (7-10 minutes or similar), plus full ceremony and speeches. The difference is the polish: steadier coverage under pressure, richer sound, more time in colour and sound work and, if requested, faster delivery or extra social cuts.

How to compare quotes without guessing

Start with results, not specs. Ask to see two full galleries: one bright summer wedding and one darker winter reception. Listen to vows: are they clean and balanced? Watch the speeches: are reactions covered, or just the person at the mic? Consistency across different lighting conditions is the truest sign of quality.

Then dig into the plan. Who is filming morning prep if you’re in different places? How will audio be captured for vows, readers, and speeches (lav mics, recorders, a church PA feed)? Is a second shooter included or available? Drone shots? Are bulky tripods used instead of minimally invasive monopods? What’s the delivery timeline for teaser, highlight, and ceremony/speeches? Are music licences sorted so your film plays cleanly online? Insurance?

If two quotes are both “full day” but one is hundreds cheaper, look at who’s shooting (solo vs two), what the main deliverable is (long minimal edit vs crafted short), and how the ceremony/speeches are covered (angles and audio). That’s where the gap usually lives.

Saving money without regret

Keep the parts you’ll value in ten years: a well-made short film and full ceremony/speeches with clear sound. Trim elsewhere. If budget is tight, drop rarely-watched extras, consider off-peak dates, and avoid rush delivery. Above all, don’t sacrifice audio—clean vows are priceless.

How we built this 2025 snapshot

To keep couples grounded in real numbers, we compile a yearly pricing snapshot from public rate cards, anonymised quotes shared by couples nationwide, and voluntary submissions from Irish videographers. For 2025, that totalled 142 data points gathered January to September across solo and two-shooter setups. It’s a practical guide, not an academic study; individual studios will sit above or below the averages based on demand, travel, and scope.
