Occasionally a couple will contact me and tell me how much they love our work but they only budgeted $1000 for their wedding video. It saddens me when I tell them I can't help them out in that price range. We could do something for that price, but it wouldn't be the video they saw online and were hoping to get. The problem here is that they budgeted for a bad video, instead of a good one.
Weddings are a mystery to most women, and budgeting to have a good wedding is a daunting task. I find that one of the biggest issues is that couple's spend too much on the reception hall, thinking that the hall is the key to a great wedding. It is not. I've filmed weddings in union halls that we awesome and weddings in historic mansions that were complete duds. So my advice for a booking a hall is to book with the bare minimum guests and the bare minimum luxuries. More people and more amenities are things you can add later.
The next person you should hire is a wedding planner. In most cases a day of coordinator will suffice, unless you are just way to busy to plan on your own. A good planner will be able to give you plenty of tips and tricks on how to save money and be able to have the wedding of your dreams on the smallest budget. They might cost $1000 or more but they may be able to save you thousands more in the planning process.
The next person you want to book is either your photographer or videographer. Both of these are of equal importance and both can get booked up a year or two in advance so I suggest you don't sit on this decision or you may not get the person you want. We've already got quite a few bookings for 2011 already. I wouldn't suggest booking anything else until you have both photo and video locked up. You may get crazy and decide to order those custom bar napkins and that may be the cost difference between booking a good video and booking a bad video.

Title: The Benefits of Budgeting Your Money
When you start Budgeting your money, you won't run out of money because you know where every penney is going before you spend.
Title: How To Make Your First Movie - Phase 2: Budgeting

Producing your first movie is difficult enough without running out of money halfway through. Reduce the chances of that happening with these budgeting tips.
To complete this How-To you will need:
Some initial investment The names of potential investors The director's cooperation A financial ledger A ruthless attention to detail
Step 1: Plan an ideal budget
Sit down with the director and plan out an ideal movie budget. It doesn't have to be too detailed.
Tip: A budget is typically divided into four cost sections: talent, production, post-production, and miscellaneous.
Step 2: Cut the ideal budget in half
Now, tell the director you want to slash the budget in half. He'll probably be furious, but it'll help him think in terms of dollars and cents.
Tip: Hiring film students, shooting digitally, and using unknown actors and cheap locations will bring down the budget.
Step 3: Explain all expenses
Make the new, cheaper budget include explanations for every single penny the director intends to spend. This version of the budget should be dozens of pages long.
Step 4: Delegate the initial investment
Delegate the initial investment. Ideally, most of it will go to shoot impressive scenes that will then be used to raise more money for the film. You'll need a bit of it yourself, though, to finance your fundraising efforts.
Tip: If you don't have an initial investment, you'll need to use money from your own pocket. Make sure that your contract with the director clearly reflects this risk.
Step 5: Apply for grants
Apply for filmmaking grants. There are institutions the world over that give money to new and independent filmmakers. Find them, and apply for every single grant that they offer, no matter how unlikely it is that you'll get it.
Step 6: Find investors
Find investors. Go through your alma mater or professional contacts.
Step 7: Present confidently
When you do land meetings with potential investors, be confident. Talk up the director, the plot, and the starring actors. Never stray too far from your claim that the movie is a sure thing to make back its investment.
Tip: If you don't yet have footage when seeking investors, show them a part of one of the director's previous films.
Step 8: Raise a little extra
Raise the money you need for your budget—and then some. Socking away an extra 15% in contingency funds—to help you out if disaster should strike—is a smart idea.
Tip: If you're positively loaded with funds, give a little more financial leeway to the director, but save most of it for emergencies and the possibility that the film will go over budget.
Step 9: Count every penny
Count every penny that the movie spends and that the movie makes. Write everything in your master ledger. This way, you'll always know where you stand, and if the movie is still on budget.
Step 10: Have a backup
If and when you have to work away from the actual shoot, have someone you trust—not the director—keep track of everything.

Empty spaces - what are we living for?

Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!
The Show must go on!

Victoria and Brad had a wonderful wedding. They were very relaxed and didn't get stressed at all during the day. Their bridal party was a lot of fun as well.
And of course it always helps to have an all-star team of wedding professionals around you. As I'm sitting here writing this I'm thinking that if I had to write a blurb for each great professional that was at this wedding this would be an extremely long blog post. So for this post I'm just going to list them. Many of these wonderful people have already been written about elsewhere on my blog.
Andrea and Michael had a really fun wedding at The Merion on Friday night. Of course it helps when a couple hires the right "team". So besides the Merion they hired Steve and Company for their DJ, who are one of the best companies in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area. Any bride who wants to look glamorous all night long knows to hire Bella Angel for their hair and makeup. And once a bride is all dolled up you want to make sure you have a great photographer to capture those special moments. That's why Andrea and Michael hired the extremely talented Marc Anthony for photography. To see how wonderful the wedding was you can go to Marc Anthony blog.
And last, but not least, they hire us to capture their day and create a B.I.G. Video Show for them. We used the same team as last weekend. CIndy and I did the shooting and Jimmy did the edit. You're gonna like this one.
