How Much Does Wedding Videography Cost in New Jersey?

Wedding videography in New Jersey typically ranges from $3,500 to $10,000 depending on coverage hours, number of filmmakers, editing style, and extras like drone footage or same-day edits. High quality, cinematic films — like the ones we create — tend to start around $4,500 and go up based on your vision.

Why Prices Vary So Much

When couples start looking for a videographer, the range can feel overwhelming. You might see packages from $2,000 to over $10,000 — and while the numbers are important, what’s included and how it’s filmed matters just as much.

The main factors that influence cost in NJ are:

  • Hours of Coverage – More hours = more moments captured, and more footage to craft into your film.

  • Number of Videographers – Two shooters allow us to film from multiple angles, capture reactions, and cover both partners getting ready.

  • Editing Style – A documentary-style edit takes less time; a cinematic, story-driven film involves days of creative editing and sound design.

  • Add-Ons – Drone footage, same-day edits, extended films, or raw footage delivery can increase cost.

  • Experience & Demand – Established filmmakers with a proven track record and in-demand style will be priced accordingly.

The New Jersey Market

New Jersey is home to some of the most beautiful wedding venues in the country — from Park Chateau to Skylands Manor — and many couples here want high-end films that match the beauty of their setting.

In my experience filming hundreds of weddings across NJ, here’s a general breakdown:

  • Entry Level: $2,000–$3,500 (shorter coverage, limited edits, typically inexperienced/new videographers)

  • Mid Range: $4,500–$6,000 (full-day coverage, cinematic highlight film, one or two experienced videographers)

  • Luxury: $6,000–$10,000+ (multi-day coverage, same day edits, 3-5 person crews)

What You Get Beyond the Price Tag

A wedding film is more than hours and gear — it’s about storytelling, emotional impact, and longevity.
What we deliver isn’t just a recap; it’s a living memory of your people, your voices, your love — preserved for decades.

Why Investing in Video Matters

Many couples who skip videography to save money later regret it. Your photos will be stunning, but they can’t capture:

  • Your vows in your own voices

  • The laughter during toasts

  • The music and cheering as you enter your reception

  • The way you looked at each other as you walked back down the aisle

My Approach

I work with each couple to find the right coverage so we’re not overselling you — but also not missing the moments you’ll want most. I’m transparent about pricing, and everything is tailored to tell your story, in your style.

If You’re Comparing Videographers

Look beyond just the price:

  • Watch full wedding films (not just social media reels)

  • Ask how many hours are included

  • Find out how they work with your photographer and planner

  • Make sure you connect with their personality — they’ll be with you all day

See an Example

Here’s a wedding film from David's Country Inn that’s a perfect example of what’s possible when you invest in high-end videography:

This film landed us a nomination in the 2024 Wedding Film Awards by Love Stories TV. But even more important to us is the glowing review from our couple: "Joe was our one and only choice for videographer for our wedding. We are extremely untraditional & our wedding reflected that. This didn’t bother Joe at all!! He was 1000% on board to work with our vision. During the planning process he was attentive, informative & easy to get a hold of, not to mention he’s an all around nice guy! Our package included a teaser video, which was delivered SO quickly. The teaser alone captured us perfectly. Don’t second guess booking! We will be able to relive our special day for years just by how amazingly it was captured!!"

So, Where Will Your Story Take Us?

Your date might already be on someone else’s radar — let’s lock it in so we can start planning your wedding film.

I’m Joe — a wedding filmmaker who believes your day should feel like a celebration, not a production set. I blend into the background, capture the magic naturally, and deliver a stunning film that feels like you.
