Questions
Wedding videography questions, answered
How much does a wedding videographer cost with Reality Productions?
Our wedding films include three packages: Simple Documentary ($2,499), Cinematic Highlight ($3,499) and Cinematic Documentary ($4,999), all listed on the packages and prices page.
What is included in the $2,499 Simple Documentary Package?
Ten hours of coverage with one videographer, drone included, a short trailer and a 15–20 minute documentary film in the order the day happened. You can add a full ceremony video (+$500), raw footage (+$300), a second videographer (+$500), and other add-ons on the packages page.
Where are you based, and which areas do you cover?
We are based in Turlock, California, and film weddings in Denair, Turlock, Modesto, Stockton, Merced and the Bay Area. See the service areas page for each town.
Does the price change by location, and do you travel for destination weddings?
Our package prices are the same no matter where you get married. Travel fees may apply for weddings more than 100 miles outside the Central Valley, and we confirm them with you up front on your 15-minute call. Destination and overseas weddings are welcome too: Alfredo is used to traveling for video work overseas.
What is the difference between a highlight film and a documentary film?
A highlight film is a shorter, music-led edit of the best moments, from 2–5 minutes up to 10–15 minutes depending on the package. A documentary film follows your day in order and runs longer: 15–20 minutes on the Simple Documentary package and 30–90 minutes on the Cinematic Documentary package.
Do you offer drone footage?
Yes. Drone coverage is included in every package.
How do you record the vows, toasts and speeches?
Your vows, toasts and speeches are recorded clearly so the words you care about are part of the film, not lost under music or crowd noise. We plan audio coverage with you on the 15-minute call.
How many videographers will film our wedding?
One videographer on the Simple Documentary package (a second is +$500), and two cinematographers on the Cinematic Highlight and Cinematic Documentary packages.
Is the full ceremony included?
A full ceremony video is included with the Cinematic Highlight and Cinematic Documentary packages. On the Simple Documentary package it is a +$500 add-on.
Can we get the raw footage?
Yes. Raw footage on an SSD is included with the Cinematic Documentary package, and is a +$300 add-on for the Simple Documentary and Cinematic Highlight packages.
Do you plan the film with us before the wedding?
Yes. Every booking starts with a 15-minute call. The Cinematic Highlight and Cinematic Documentary packages add a prep day before the wedding, and the Cinematic Documentary package includes several planning meetings to build personal themes into the film.
How do we book, and how does the deposit work?
Send your date through the Check Your Date form, then book a quick 15-minute call. After the call, we send a secure Stripe payment link for the deposit that reserves your date. Nothing is paid on this website.
When will we receive our wedding film?
We confirm your delivery timeline with you on your 15-minute call, before you pay a deposit.
We love because he first loved us.
