Chicago wedding videography prices and packages from Brighter Lights include the following:
Memoir
Memoir is our $3,600 package with several benefits that help make your special day unforgettable.
Features part of the Memoir package include the following:
A three to four-minute highlight film: In a few minutes, our videographers can compile the most memorable, sentimental and romantic moments from your wedding day. Clips of getting your hair and makeup done, saying your vows and dancing the night away can accompany recorded dialogue of you and your partner celebrating your love for each other.
One videographer: With a professional videographer to follow the events of your wedding day, you can rest assured that their experience can help shoot every special moment you and your partner create. The drone also helps make video clips from different angles for double the shots in your final highlight film.
Eight hours of coverage: With enough time to record your ceremony, reception and private moments with family and friends, you can trust a package that offers eight hours of coverage.
Heirloom
At $4,600, Heirloom is the next wedding package you can choose for your big day.
Heirloom package features include the following:
A four to five-minute highlight film: Enjoy rewatching your wedding day in action with an edited, cinematic video that captures your favorite moments. The film includes music and dialogue to highlight your and your partner's ceremony and speeches from the guests.
Two videographers: With two professionals attending the day's events, you can rest assured knowing the best moments are right on camera for you and your loved ones to enjoy. We can capture every angle, speech, dance and tear-inspiring moment.
Nine hours of coverage: Your videographers will arrive at your location and capture nine hours of events. These moments can start from getting hair and makeup done to the final farewell of the night. The videographers are happy to spend these extended periods capturing your family's and friends' reactions to the wedding dress, the ceremony and dancing the night away, so you can look back on your loved one's favorite moments.
Legacy
The final option is the Legacy package, costing $5,600.
The Legacy package offers several features, including:
A 15 to 20-minute highlight film: After wrapping up your big day, you can remember your favorite moments with an edited, cinematic video. You will get edited dialogue and music in the film to commemorate the ceremony, first looks, dances and speeches.
Two videographers: Similar to the Heirloom package, you will have two videographers following the day's events to shoot each of your favorite moments to put into the highlight film.
10 hours of coverage: From the moment you're getting ready to when you're dancing the night away, your videographers are there to film each special event. That's why 10 hours of filming on the wedding day is a favorite timeline option for newlyweds.
How to Determine the Right Package for You
The best way to choose from our Chicago wedding videographer packages is to consider what your venue will look like and what events will occur. While it's perfectly OK not to have every plan mapped out now, having a general idea can help you determine what to include in the video.
To help you decide, consider the following questions:
1. What Events Do You Want in Your Video?
The moments you want to include in your video will be what others remember for years to come. Some couples enjoy rewatching the ceremony and reception, while others love the private moments before the wedding. If you want to capture first looks, dances with loved ones and other special memories, you might want to choose a package that offers extended coverage. While you celebrate, you can pick a package that provides ten hours of filming to create a beautiful wedding film.
If you prefer the traditional ceremony videos, go with the Memoir package with eight hours of coverage.
2. What Editing Features Do You Prefer?
Added music and dialogue from you, your partner, friends and family let you look into intimate moments throughout your wedding day. If you want to include your vows and reception speeches in the video, you can choose the Heirloom or Legacy package that edits the dialogue into clips of each moment of your special day. You can also enjoy music that fits the ambiance of your wedding to tie together the elements you carefully planned.
If you prefer to reflect on your big day with sentimental music and no dialogue, the Memoir package is the right pick for you.
3. What's Your Budget?
With any of our Chicago wedding packages, you can enjoy a beautiful video to commemorate your special day at several different prices. We understand that planning a wedding can be expensive and that costs pile up, so we prioritize offering couples a sentimental cinematic video for every package, no matter your budget.
If you are looking for a budget-friendly option for your wedding, our Memoir package provides you with quality videos and a memorable filming experience at a lower cost.
