Why Videography is More Than Just an Extra
Let’s be honest. When you're planning your wedding, video probably isn’t the first thing you think about. Photos usually take that top spot. And sure, pictures are beautiful. But there’s something about hearing your vows again, watching your first dance, and catching the laughter from the reception. That’s the kind of magic only video can offer. Across Arizona, more couples are realizing just how priceless it is to see and hear their big day, not just look back at it.
What Wedding Videography Costs in Arizona
By 2025, most couples in Arizona are investing somewhere between $2,500 and $6,000 for wedding videography. That’s a pretty wide range, but there’s a reason. Prices can change depending on what kind of video you’re looking for, how many videographers are involved, how many hours they’re filming, and where your wedding is taking place.
For example, if you're tying the knot in Scottsdale or Phoenix, the price might lean higher because of large venues and more elaborate setups. A Sedona wedding with drone shots and cinematic editing will also fall closer to the top. On the flip side, couples in Flagstaff or Prescott can often find solid packages starting around $2,000.
What Impacts the Cost
Video Style
- Traditional: Captures everything in a straightforward, documentary format.
- Cinematic: More emotional and dramatic, like a mini movie.
- Hybrid: A little of both. This is the go-to style for a lot of Arizona weddings.
Coverage Time
Most packages cover around 8 to 10 hours. That’s enough to catch everything from prep to party. Need more? That’ll cost a bit extra.
Crew Size
- One videographer is good for intimate weddings or smaller budgets.
- Two or more helps when you want multiple angles or have a big venue to cover.
What You Get After
- Highlight Video: A short, emotional recap.
- Full Wedding Film: Ceremony, speeches, and key moments from start to finish.
- Drone Shots: Super popular in Sedona and other scenic spots.
- Raw Footage: Everything, unedited. Some couples want it all.
Travel Charges
If your venue is far from the videographer’s home base, there might be a travel fee. A Scottsdale team heading to Tucson, for instance, may charge a little extra for the drive.
City-by-City Price Breakdown
- Phoenix: $3,000–$5,000
- Scottsdale: $4,000–$6,000
- Sedona: $3,500–$6,000
- Tucson: $2,500–$4,500
- Flagstaff: $2,500–$4,000
Why It’s Worth Every Cent
Photos are amazing. But they can’t show movement. They don’t capture voices. They don’t replay the music. A video does all that. Watching your day unfold all over again hits differently. And here's something cool—videos can give you still shots too, but you can’t turn photos into video. If you're getting married in Arizona, where the sky alone can take your breath away, a wedding film is more than a bonus. It's a must-have.
