How Much Does a Wedding Videographer Cost in Sussex?
Wedding videography in Sussex typically ranges from around £600 to £3,000+, depending on the videographer's experience, how many people are filming, and what's included in the edit. If you've started researching and found that prices vary enormously with very little explanation of why, this page is designed to help.
We're West Sussex Wedding Videos — Luke and Ed, filmmaking brothers based in Chichester with over a decade of experience. We film weddings across Sussex and the surrounding counties. Below you'll find our three packages with full pricing, a breakdown of what drives cost differences in the industry, and some guidance on what to look for when comparing quotes.
What Affects the Price of a Wedding Videographer?
Experience and style.
A videographer with years of experience at Sussex venues will produce consistently different work from someone doing their second or third wedding. Style matters too — cinematic, documentary, and social-first approaches all require different skills, equipment, and editing time.
Number of videographers.
A single videographer covering everything alone will always miss things — the groom's reaction during the ceremony while bridal prep is finishing, candid moments happening across the room. Two videographers working simultaneously means nothing is left to chance.
What's actually included.
A low headline price often means a shorter highlights film, no ceremony edit, no speeches, no drone footage, and less editing time. It's worth reading what's included line by line before comparing prices.
Editing time.
The filming is the visible part. The editing, colour grading, music licensing, and sound design that follows often takes three to four times as long. Higher-priced packages reflect a more considered post-production process, not just more hours on the day.

A film that goes beyond highlights to capture the quieter, more personal moments a shorter edit has to leave out
This is the right choice if you want a film that genuinely documents your wedding as it happened — not just the peaks, but the full story.
Why Do Some Videographers Charge Less?
Cheaper quotes exist and some represent good value. Things to watch for: a single videographer covering everything alone, a highlights film of 3 minutes or under, no raw ceremony or speeches edit, no drone, and a very fast turnaround that reflects limited editing time. None of these are automatically dealbreakers — but they're worth understanding before you book.
It's also worth checking who will actually be at your wedding. Some companies quote one price and send a different team on the day. At West Sussex Wedding Videos, Luke and Ed film every wedding personally — you meet us before the day and we're there from start to finish.
How Far in Advance Should We Book?
Most couples in Sussex book their videographer 10–14 months before their wedding date, and popular summer weekends fill quickly. We'd recommend getting in touch as soon as you have a confirmed venue and date — even if you're not ready to commit immediately, we can hold your date with a deposit.
