Frequently asked questions

How much does an Asian wedding videographer cost?
Asian wedding videographers in the UK cost between £500 and £3,500. Highlights-only packages start from £500, full-day documentary coverage runs £1,000-£2,500, and premium cinematic packages with two videographers and drone footage cost £2,500-£3,500. Multi-day coverage for mehndi, ceremony, and reception ranges from £2,000 to £5,000.
How long does it take to receive my wedding video?
Most videographers deliver the final edit within 8-16 weeks after the wedding. A highlights trailer is often ready sooner (4-6 weeks). During peak season, delivery times may extend to 20 weeks. Same-day edits are shown at the reception but the full film still takes weeks to complete. Always confirm the expected delivery timeline in your contract.
Do I need both a photographer and videographer?
While not essential, video captures moments that photos cannot - speeches, laughter, music, and the atmosphere of the day. Many couples say their wedding video is the thing they rewatch most. For Asian weddings with multiple events, video is especially valuable for capturing ceremonies, dancing, and family moments.
What is a same-day edit and is it worth it?
A same-day edit is a 3-5 minute film of your wedding day edited on-site and played during the reception. It creates an incredible wow moment for guests. It costs £500-£1,000 as an add-on and requires a dedicated editor. It is worth it if your budget allows, but it is not essential.
Should I book a second videographer for my Asian wedding?
A second videographer (£300-£600 extra) is valuable for large Asian weddings where the bride and groom prepare at different locations, or for capturing guest reactions during the ceremony while the main videographer focuses on the couple. For intimate weddings under 150 guests, one experienced videographer is usually sufficient.
