Let's be honest, weddings can get expensive and we are all looking for ways to be creative with our weddings.
1. Have all your family & friends contribute
set up a dropbox or Google Drive account that all can upload toGive link on wedding website/ rsvp email Ask guests to upload after wedding Have a friend who’s talent is video collage togetherOr hire a video editor specifically (find on craigslist, Fb pages, church pages, or my site)
2. DIY - Take shifts
Ask friends specifically ones who have iPhone 10’s to “take slots” being the videographer (4pm-4:30pm; 4:30-5:00pm)have one friend set up phone voice memo recording (bff role!)Send to pro editor to complete
3. Go Pro wedding Unique
Strap on 3 guestsUpload time-lapse on iMovie Set to your favorite songs
4. Rent a camera from these sites, put on tripod, & have the full ceremony recorded!
- Someone in your wedding party or family has a tripod!
5. Create a slideshow of photos w/ voice recording
If you’ve hired a photographer you can ask a friend to collage these into a video w/ music over itAdd a voice recording of your vows for a special touch (iPhone voice memo is great!)
6. Ask a videographer if they will only shoot
A lot of the hours go into the edit, so a great way to cut costs is hire the pro for their gear & eye without having to pour your life savings awayAsk a friend, or use these basic editing tips —-> on next blog post!
7. High School Video Team
often there’s a lot of great skill sitting at high schoolUse their skills and approach them w/ a cost A risk but could be worth it.
8. Craigslist
There are definitely lucky charms to be found on Craigslist, search your area under Craigslist > Services for beginner videographers who are looking to gain experience. Chances are they are low prices and willing to give you a deal for the chance to add to their portfolio.
