How much does a wedding videographer cost in Italy?
Wedding videography in Italy usually costs between about €1,500 and €8,000 or more, depending on the hours of filming, the number of films, the number of days and travel. Lens Square Films starts from €4,000 including VAT for up to 12 hours on one wedding day, with a teaser film and a wedding film.
Price range as listed by Italian Venues, a directory of wedding suppliers in Italy.
Destination wedding videographer cost
Lens Square Films includes travel to Italy in every package: flights, car and accommodation. Prices include VAT, and a 30% deposit secures the date. For weddings elsewhere in Europe, travel is set out in your proposal before you book.
What changes the price
Hours of filming
Half-day coverage costs less than a full day. Most destination weddings need 10 to 12 hours, from getting ready to the first dances.
Films delivered
A short teaser film, a wedding film, an uncut ceremony and speeches film, and vertical films for social media each add editing time.
Number of days
Welcome dinners, rehearsals and the day after are filmed as extra days.
Crew
A second videographer adds a second angle on the vows and the speeches, and raises the price.
Equipment
Cinema cameras, separate audio recorders and drones produce better films and are reflected in the price.
Travel
Many destination videographers add travel and accommodation on top of the package. Lens Square Films includes travel to Italy in the price.

Questions
Is a wedding videographer worth it?
Photos show how the day looked; a film keeps how it sounded and moved: the vows in your own voices, the speeches, the laughter. If hearing those words again matters to you, a film is worth it.
Do I need a videographer for a destination wedding?
A destination wedding often brings together people who rarely meet in one place. A film keeps those people, voices and the place itself in a way photos alone can't.
What is the difference between a teaser film and a wedding film?
A teaser film is up to one minute long. It captures the feeling of the day and is made to be shared. A wedding film runs 5 to 10 minutes and tells the whole day in order, with the vows, speeches and the people who were there. It's made to be watched from start to finish without skipping.
Do we get the raw footage?
Yes. Every package includes all the raw footage from your wedding, alongside the teaser film and the wedding film.
Is travel to Italy included?
Yes. Travel to Italy, including flights, car and accommodation, is included in every package, so the price you see is the price you pay.
