Fritzler Films starting prices
These are our published starting points, not estimates for other businesses. Your proposal confirms the exact coverage, deliverables, and price for your wedding.
What Actually Affects Your Wedding Videographer Cost
Coverage Hours
The coverage window determines which parts of the day can be documented. We use the actual timeline to recommend a starting and ending point.
Number of Videographers
The team depends on the timeline, locations, and coverage requested. Your proposal states the planned team so there are no assumptions.
Deliverables
Film, photography, content creation, and a Same-Day Premiere involve different production and editing work. The proposal lists exactly what will be delivered.
Location and Travel
Southeast Missouri, Southern Illinois, and Western Kentucky are our core service region. We confirm venue-specific travel and logistics in the proposal.
Add-Ons
A Same-Day Premiere, content creation, extended coverage, and story sessions can change the total. Current add-on starting prices are listed on our packages page.
Experience and Craft
Compare complete films, audio, consistency, planning, and the written scope—not a highlight clip or price by itself.
Get the scope in writing
A starting price is useful only when the scope is clear. Fritzler Films proposals state the coverage window, planned team, deliverables, add-ons, delivery schedule, and exact investment.

How to Hire a Wedding Videographer Without Overpaying
1. Know what you actually need
Do you want a 3-minute social clip, a full feature film, or both? Do you need Same-Day Premiere? Do you care about raw footage? Most couples don't need everything — know what matters to you before you start comparing prices.
2. Watch the full films, not just the trailer
A 30-second highlight can make any videographer look good. Watch the full-length film. If it holds your attention and you actually want to rewatch it — that's the work you want. If you fast-forward through it, keep looking.
3. Ask what's not in the highlight reel
Ask each provider to state the coverage window, team, audio approach, delivered films, delivery schedule, and add-ons in writing.
4. Match the videographer to your venue
Every venue has different light, sound, and timing constraints. Ask how the filmmaker plans for your specific ceremony and reception spaces.
5. Check your date early
Availability varies by date and provider. Once you know your venue and priorities, ask the filmmakers you are considering whether the date is open.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does wedding film preserve that photography cannot?
Film preserves movement and sound: vows, speeches, voices, reactions, and the timing between moments. Photography and film serve different purposes, which is why we offer either film alone or coordinated photo and film coverage.
What does Fritzler Films wedding videography cost?
Film-only coverage starts at $3,200. Photo and film coverage starts at $5,400, and the Complete Story Collection starts at $7,200. Your proposal confirms the exact total.
What is included in the starting price?
Coverage is planned around your timeline rather than assumed from a generic hour count. The proposal states the coverage window, team, and delivered films before you book.
What can change the final price?
The timeline, locations, selected services, and add-ons shape the final proposal. Tell us your date, venue, and priorities and we will provide the actual scope and price.
What is a Same-Day Premiere?
It is a short film created during the wedding day and shown at the reception before the night ends. It starts at $800 as an add-on, subject to availability for the date and timeline.
