13 priced vendors
From the "starting at" price each vendor publishes on their own website or their Lazo profile, read 2026-11-02. A starting price is the smallest package they sell, not what a wedding ends up costing: nationally most couples pay $1,200-$2,500 once hours, add-ons and the date are in.
Charleston against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a wedding videographer in Charleston is $3,300, about 69% above the national median of $1,950. That is the local market, not a markup, and it is the number to compare a quote against rather than the national one. Good wedding film is an audio product as much as a visual one. Lapel mics on the officiant and both partners, plus a board feed at the reception, is what separates a film you rewatch from one you do not.
What moves the price
- Number of operators
- One camera cannot be on the vows and the reaction at the same time. A second operator is typically $400-$800 and is what makes a ceremony edit feel like it was filmed rather than recorded.
- Edit length and complexity
- A 4-minute highlight is a different amount of work from a 45-minute feature. Colour grading and licensed music sit here too.
- Audio
- Good wedding film is an audio product as much as a visual one. Lapel mics on the officiant and both partners, plus a board feed at the reception, is what separates a film you rewatch from one you do not.
- Drone
- Usually $200-$500 where it is legal to fly. Check your venue allows it - many do not.
