Videography packages

A professional wedding video is not just a recording of your wedding – it’s a cinematic telling of your incredible love story. A recent survey showed that 98% of brides that didn’t hire a wedding videographer regretted not making that investment. But budgets can be tough. To help you out, we've curated three packages that differ in length, style and price point, all of which can be customized to your specific wedding videography wants and needs. Each package comes with 10 hours of video coverage. Custom travel pricing for weddings outside the Chicagoland area is available upon request.

Trailer

$2,750

3-4 minute edit

(popular music - minimum dialogue)

A 3-4 minute music video-style edit that captures all the details and emotions from your wedding day. Your love story is creatively edited to the song of your choice. This edit is music heavy with just a few snippets of meaningful words spoken that day or none at all if you want.

Short Film

$3,250

5-6 minute edit

(instrumental music - dialogue heavy)

The Short Film differs from the Trailer not just in length but also editing style. With this edit, the music takes a backseat and we rely more on dialogue from the officiant, vows and toasts to tell your love story. The instrumental song is also chosen by us, although you can approve it beforehand if you like.

Highlights

$3,750

9-10 minute edit + 3-4 minute edit

(popular music - minimum dialogue)

A 9-10 minute music video-style edit highlighting your wedding day. Like the Trailer, this edit is music heavy with a few snippets of meaningful words spoken that day. You also receive an edited ceremony, 3-4 minute trailer and a second videographer for a portion of the day.

Incredible features provided

with every package

Regardless of package choice, each couples wedding video collection will include these “must-have” features.

All packages include a 10-20 second social media sneak peak, the toasts and first dances edited in their entirety using multiple angles, aerial coverage of the venues and surrounding areas, as well all the raw uncut footage shot that day. This is all presented in a single, cloud-based, Netflix-style viewing experience that couples can not only view from all their devices, but also download, store and future-proof their wedding video collections.

Toasts

From the opening words to the laughter, emotional pauses, and cheers, each speech is captured in it’s entirety with multiple camera angles and high-quality audio recordings. By including every word, the wedding video collection becomes a deeper, more personal reflection of the day, showcasing not just the genuine sentiments of those closest to the couple, but the deep love and connection between the couple and their loved ones.

Sneak Peak

A 10-20 second social media highlight is a fun and exciting way to give friends and family a glimpse of the joy and love that filled the celebration before the full film is ready. These short, emotional clips capture some of the most unforgettable moments, like the bride’s entrance, the couple’s first kiss, and laughter shared during the day. Whether shared on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, the sneak peek becomes a keepsake in its own right.

Raw Footage

Including all the uncut footage ensures that every moment of the day is preserved in its purest form. From the details, to candid reactions and unspoken glances, the unedited footage captures the full range of emotions, laughter, and excitement that may not make it into the final cut. The raw footage serves as a personal keepsake itself, offering a deeper, unfiltered look at the day, allowing the couple to relive even the smallest moments, making it an invaluable part of their wedding memories.

First Dances

From the nervous excitement to the elegant twirls and heartfelt smiles, every moment of each special dance is captured in it’s entirety, providing the happy couple the chance to relive the magic of one of their first experiences as newlyweds, along with the special moments that come with the very emotional parent dances. This complete, multi-camera recording ensures that every step, every look, and every beat of the music is documented and can be cherished for many years to come.

Easy viewing

Physical media such as DVDs and flash drives are dead. At Plan A, we provide all of our couples with a single, cloud-based platform to view, download, stream, store and future-proof their wedding videos, all from a single interface accessible for a lifetime. You’ll love the Netflix-style viewing experience that can easily be shared with family and friends. A beautiful, consistent viewing experience no matter where you want to watch your wedding film!

Aerials

Aerial footage adds a stunning, cinematic perspective that captures the grandeur of the day. With sweeping views of the venues and surrounding landscapes, drone shots provide a breathtaking, high-angle view that’s impossible to achieve with traditional cameras. The bird’s-eye perspective highlights the scale and elegance of the celebration, adding depth and drama to the video. Aerial coverage allows the couple to relive their wedding from a unique perspective they could never experience in person.

Our Process

So you’ve made it this far and you’re still interested, woohoo! But you have questions about how everything works. Let us explain what comes next, our process, and what you can expect…

If you think we would be a good fit to film your wedding, the first step is to contact us to check our availability. We’d love to hear your story, how you met or what your vision for your wedding is. If we’re available we will send you a private link to our pricing guide. Prices start at $2,750.
Yay, we’re available! Now is the time to answer any questions you may have about our services. We can meet in person, chat on a Zoom call, or keep it simple over email. We’re here to help you choose a package that is perfect for you. To officially reserve the date, we require a signed contact and 50% deposit. The other half is due two weeks prior to the wedding date.
We’ve been doing this for awhile, so it’s safe to say that we have a unique perspective on planning a wedding. We’re happy to share all the tips and tricks we’ve learned along the way, whether it’s other vendor recommendations, helping you construct the perfect timeline or anything else, please know that we are here to help! Exactly 1 month prior to the big day, we‘ll send you a questionnaire to officially finalize all the details.
The big day has finally arrived! We like to show up around an hour or so before the bride is scheduled to put on her dress. During that time, we get to meet everyone, capture the details and tail end of hair/makeup, and of course fly our drone. We have a documentary style approach to filming weddings, preferring to capture moments as authentically as possible. We’re not too posey either and let the photographer handle all that stuff. While we capture all the big moments, we’re also keeping an eye out for those authentic candid moments. It’s our recommendation that we depart an hour or after the dance floor had opened up to guests. We come over to say goodbye, wish you well on that honeymoon and thank you for trusting us to be a part of your special day.
No later than 2 months after your wedding, you will receive a private link to all your videos. You receive lifetime access to a Netflix-style viewing experience with personalized menus, where you can also download your films, share them with friends, and stream on all your devices. A beautiful, consistent viewing experience no matter where you want to watch your film. Your wedding day has been preserved forever!
