If you’re still deciding what kind of coverage you need, visit the New Orleans wedding videographer page to learn more about my filming style, approach, and recent New Orleans wedding video work.
Most couples choose their wedding video package based on coverage time and which moments they want delivered as full edits, such as the ceremony, speeches, or formal dances.
If you’re unsure what makes the most sense, send your timeline and priorities. I’ll recommend the best option based on your day, your venue, and what you want delivered after the wedding.

BRONZE
Best for: couples who want a clean highlight film and simple wedding-day video coverage.
A good fit for weddings with one main location, a straightforward timeline, and a focus on the most important moments. This package keeps coverage simple while still giving you a polished film of the day.
SILVER
Best for: couples who want the highlight film plus the full ceremony preserved.
This works well if vows, readings, music, and ceremony audio matter to you. You still receive a polished highlight film, with the added peace of mind of having the full ceremony delivered separately.
GOLD
Best for: couples who want a fuller wedding story with ceremony and reception coverage.
This is a strong fit for weddings with speeches, formal dances, entrances, and reception moments you want preserved beyond the highlight film. The longer coverage gives the day more breathing room and helps capture more of the full celebration.
PLATINUM
Best for: couples who want the most complete video collection with social-ready delivery.
This package is built for couples who want full wedding-day coverage, a longer highlight film, ceremony and reception edits, a trailer, and vertical clips for easy sharing after the wedding.

Videography FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between packages?
Coverage time and deliverables. Higher tiers include more hours and more “full edits” (ceremony, speeches, extended film options).
Q: How much does wedding videography cost in New Orleans?
Wedding videography packages begin at $1,750 and range up to $4,000 for full-day coverage with ceremony, reception, trailer, and social clip options. Final pricing depends on coverage hours, deliverables, second videographer needs, and add-ons.
Q: How do we get the best audio for vows and speeches?
I use professional microphones when possible and coordinate with your DJ/officiant setup. Clean audio depends on venue rules and access, but it’s always a top priority.
Q: When do we receive the final film?
Highlight films are typically delivered within 6–10 weeks. Teasers or trailers may be delivered within 3–7 days when included, while longer documentary-style edits may take 8–12 weeks. Expedited 14–21 day delivery is available when scheduling allows.
Q: Can we bundle photo + video?
Yes. If you want a single team for both, view the wedding photography page for combined coverage options.
