Most Asian wedding videography bookings start from £995, usually covering one wedding day with a highlight film and edited footage of the key moments. Exact pricing depends on availability, your exact requirements, time on site and location, and we quote every booking individually. The number of events, crew size and the films you want delivered make the biggest difference.
Key takeaways
- Crew size, hours and number of events are the main cost drivers.
- Decide early if you want a short highlight film, a full documentary edit or both.
- Extras such as drone footage and same-day edits need planning and venue approval.
What is included in a wedding videography package?
Most packages include filming on the day, a cinematic highlight film of a few minutes set to music, and a longer edit of the ceremony, speeches and key moments. Audio recording for vows, speeches and the nikkah or ardas is usually part of it.
Many videographers also offer a full documentary edit, social media teasers, drone footage and raw footage on request. Check which of these are included and which are extras.
- Filming of the agreed events and hours
- Cinematic highlight film
- Longer edit of the ceremony and speeches
- Professional audio for vows and speeches
- Online delivery of all films
What affects the price of a wedding videographer?
Crew size is a big factor. A single videographer can cover a small event, but a large Asian wedding with separate preparations for bride and groom, a baraat and a reception of several hundred guests usually needs two or three camera operators.
Editing time is the other hidden driver. A long documentary edit of every event takes far more work than a short highlight film. Travel, accommodation for early starts and peak season dates also add up.
- Number of camera operators
- Number of events and hours filmed
- Length and number of edited films
- Drone footage and specialist kit

Do you need a highlight film or a full edit?
A highlight film is the part most couples share and rewatch. It captures the feel of the day in a few minutes. A full edit is what parents and grandparents often want, with the complete ceremony, speeches and dances.
In our experience, most couples benefit from both. If your budget is tight, prioritise a strong highlight film and a full ceremony edit, and let other events be covered by shorter clips.
Tip from our team: Ask to see a full edit as well as highlight films when comparing videographers. It shows how they handle audio, pacing and long events.
How do you get the best value from a videographer?
Plan your timeline with the videographer and photographer together. When both know the order of events, they avoid getting in each other's shots and spend less time waiting.
Time your entertainment for the camera. A reception entrance with dhol, a Bollywood routine or cold sparks looks far better on film when the videographer knows exactly when and where it will happen.

Where can you save without losing quality?
Use a smaller crew for the smaller events, such as one operator at the mehndi and a full team on the main day. You can also skip the long documentary edit of pre-wedding events and ask for a short highlight instead.
What we would not cut is audio. Clear sound on the vows, the ardas or the speeches is what makes a wedding film worth watching years later.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a videographer for an Indian wedding in the UK?
Most bookings start from £995. The exact price depends on availability, your requirements, time on site and location. We quote each booking individually based on your events, crew size and films.
How long is a wedding highlight film?
Most highlight films run for a few minutes, set to music. They capture the feel of the day rather than every moment. Longer edits cover the full ceremony and speeches.
Can we get drone footage at our wedding?
Often yes, but the venue must allow it and the pilot must follow UK drone rules. Some venues near airports or in central London do not allow drones. Check with your videographer and venue early.
How long does it take to receive a wedding film?
Editing takes time, especially for long Asian weddings. Many videographers deliver the highlight film first and full edits later. Ask for delivery times in writing.
