Expected cost for videographer?

[rodent]

I wasn't planning on hiring a videographer, but I'm considering it now. I would only want an hour of video to cover the ceremony. I also just need raw footage that I can edit myself. How cheap can I get a package like this?

 

I bought a used camcorder thinking I could just have a friend film the wedding. But, I doubt the sound will be any good. They would also not want to be upfront like a videographer would be.

 

I made my budget spreadsheet this week & I'm doing great on my budget (thanks to everyone's great DIY ideas.) So, I think we can look at the option of having a video.

 

Any suggestions?

I don't know how it differs by location, but I *think* ours was something like $4-500 in PV. It included before the ceremony, during, and after. Maybe you can find someone who works by the hour because your ceremony will be less than one hour....sorry that's all I know
