What is a Wedding Videographer invoice?

A wedding videographer invoice documents fees for filming and editing wedding day coverage, ceremony films, highlight reels, and additional content such as rehearsal dinner coverage and same-day edits. Wedding videography is a premium service where pricing reflects both the emotional significance of the deliverable and the considerable post-production time involved. A 2-3 minute highlight reel can take 15-30 hours to edit; a full ceremony and reception film may take longer. Because weddings are one-off events with no opportunity for reshoots, the responsibility and skill required justify premium pricing. Like wedding photography, deposits are essential, with balances typically due before the wedding date.

How to invoice as a wedding videographer

Issue the initial invoice at booking showing the total package price, deposit amount, and balance due date. The deposit (typically 20-30%) should be non-refundable. The balance is usually due 4-8 weeks before the wedding. For add-ons requested after the original booking, issue a supplementary invoice. Drone coverage should note the operator's CAA Operator ID if included. Allow 4-12 weeks for final video delivery and communicate the expected delivery timeline at booking.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to deliver the final wedding video?
Typically 4-12 weeks depending on the videographer's workload and the complexity of the edit. A highlight reel takes longer to craft well than a simple ceremony film. Be honest about your turnaround time at booking and include it in your contract. Couples planning to show the video at a reception dinner need a same-day or rapid turnaround service — price accordingly.
Should I charge for drone footage separately?
Drone coverage is a specialist service that requires additional equipment, certification, and planning. Charge it as an add-on or include it in premium packages. Note your CAA certification in the contract — some venues prohibit drone use, and checking venue permission is essential before including drone coverage in a quote.
What happens if the couple cancels the wedding?
Your deposit is non-refundable to compensate for the date being held. For cancellations within 60-90 days, retaining the full or a larger portion of the balance fee is reasonable. Your contract should include a clear cancellation schedule. Treat cancellations with empathy — wedding cancellations are almost always due to difficult circumstances.
Can I include clips from the wedding video in my showreel?
Yes, with the couple's consent. Include a portfolio usage clause in your contract allowing you to use short clips for promotional purposes. Most couples are happy for you to use their video in your showreel and on your social media — a few may prefer privacy, so always ask.
How do I price wedding videography packages?
Build tiered packages that clearly describe what is included: hours of coverage, deliverables (highlight film, ceremony film, speeches), second videographer, drone coverage. Price tiers at distinctly different price points so couples can choose based on their budget. Avoid excessive complexity — 3 clear packages are better than 10 confusing options.
