Let’s talk about budget. And I don’t mean how much you should spend for your wedding film, I’m talking about the whole shebang.

According to Dave Ramsey, the average wedding in America is somewhere around $25,000. The average household income is around $50,000. It appears the average wedding is about half of the average income.

So if YOU are paying for the wedding (I’m talking to you Mom and Dad) divide your income in half and use that number as the maximum amount you are willing to pay. A marriage is about love, not dollar signs. (another Ramsey-ism)

By the way, if you’re wondering how much to spend on your wedding video? A good rule of thumb is to budget the same amount to video that you do to photo if you want similar quality.
