Detroit Wedding Videography

Most couples in Metro Detroit spend about $2,800-$4,000 on wedding videography. Wedding videography with Mike Staff Productions starts at $3,100.

That range is wide because quotes aren’t comparing the same thing. Hours of coverage, how many cameras film your ceremony, whether you receive one film or two, whether a backup videographer is secured, and how long you wait for delivery all change what you’re actually buying.

Book videography alongside photography and DJ services through the Team Approach and your films arrive in 8 weeks instead of 12. See full pricing for every combination.

They capture different things. Photographs hold how your wedding looked. Video holds how it sounded: your vows in your own voices, the toast your dad gave, the laugh from the back of the room that nobody posed for.

Video is also the most commonly regretted cut from a wedding budget. Couples who skip it can’t add it later, and the moments it would have caught are the ones they can’t reconstruct: the exact wording of a vow, a grandparent’s voice, the sound of the room when the doors opened.

Watch real Metro Detroit wedding films and judge for yourself.

Every wedding videography package includes a certified Detroit wedding videographer, and a certified backup videographer on call. You’ll also get two wedding films!

Your film includes toasts and key moments, multiple cameras at your ceremony, unlimited locations with no travel added between them, both a documentary film and a cinematic highlight reel, professionally refined color and audio, unlimited planning calls, access to our online Planning Hub, delivery by download with sharing for family, and a guaranteed turnaround time written into your agreement.

Eight hours generally covers getting ready through the heart of the reception. See full pricing.

Most wedding videographers deliver one film. You get both, and they do different jobs.

The cinematic highlight film runs 8 to 10 minutes. It’s edited as a short film, the emotional shape of your day, easy to share with family and on social media. It’s the one you’ll send people.

The documentary film is long form and covers your entire ceremony, your full vows, every toast and your first dances, start to finish. Nothing trimmed for pacing. It’s the one you’ll come back to on anniversaries, and the one your children will watch.

One lets you relive the feeling. The other preserves the record.

Your films arrive within 12 weeks of your wedding date, or 8 weeks when you book the Team Approach with photography, videography and DJ working as one team.

Both beat the industry average of four to six months. Delivery time is one of the most important things to compare between videographers.

Films are professionally color and audio refined, delivered by online download, and come with personal copyright so you can share them with family however you like.

Every wedding has a certified backup videographer on call, briefed on your day in advance. If something happens to your primary videographer, the backup steps in already knowing your timeline, your locations and the moments that matter to you.

There’s also a dedicated person managing the day and a 24-hour emergency line, so your coverage is never at risk while you’re getting ready.

This is the single hardest thing for a solo videographer to offer, and it’s worth asking every company you talk to. Illness, car trouble and equipment failure all happen. What matters is whether someone else is already paid and ready.

You work with your videographer directly. As your wedding gets closer, you plan your timeline, your locations and your must-capture moments with the person who will actually be filming, not with someone passing notes along.

Everything lives in our online Planning Hub, which your whole team works from. Planning calls are unlimited and our team is available seven days a week.

If you’ve also booked photography or DJ services, all three plan from that same document, which is how the videographer already knows where the photographer will be standing during your first dance.

Yes. Videography stands entirely on its own, with the same team, the same films and the same guarantees.

When you book it alongside photography and a DJ, your ceremony audio comes from your DJ’s own board rather than a separate mic setup, your photographer and videographer position themselves together instead of working around each other, and your films arrive in 8 weeks instead of 12.
