How Much Does a Wedding Videographer Cost in 2026?

Average UK wedding videography costs in 2026

Based on current market rates across the UK, here's what you can expect to pay for a professional wedding videographer in 2026:

• Budget: £500–£800 — typically newer videographers or shorter coverage
• Mid-range: £800–£1,500 — experienced professionals with full-day coverage
• Premium: £1,500–£3,000+ — award-winning, high-end cinematic productions

The national average sits around £1,200–£1,500 for full-day coverage. In London and the South East, expect to pay 20–30% more. In Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, you'll often find excellent quality in the £800–£1,400 range.

What affects the price?

Hours of coverage

Most packages cover ceremony through first dance (roughly 8–10 hours). Bridal prep coverage and extended evening coverage typically cost more. Some videographers offer half-day options if you're on a tight budget.

Number of videographers

A solo videographer can capture a beautiful film, but two shooters give you more angles — especially during the ceremony and speeches. Expect to add £150–£300 for a second shooter.

Deliverables

A feature film (15–20 minutes) is standard. Highlight reels (2–3 minutes), social media edits, ceremony and speech edits, and raw footage are common add-ons that affect price.

Travel

Most videographers include travel within a certain radius. Beyond that, expect a per-mile charge or flat travel fee. Destination weddings will have flights and accommodation on top.

Experience and demand

Videographers with years of experience, awards, or strong reputations charge accordingly. You're paying for reliability, storytelling ability, and the peace of mind that comes with someone who's seen it all.

How to get the best value

• Book early — many videographers offer early bird rates or hold prices for early bookings
• Be clear on what you need — don't pay for extras you won't watch
• Ask about weekday or off-peak discounts if your date is flexible
• Look at full galleries/films, not just showreels — consistency matters more than one great clip
• Don't choose on price alone — the cheapest option often comes with compromise on editing time, equipment, or experience
