Here's the honest test: think about the weddings you've attended. What do you remember — the centrepieces, or how people laughed during the speeches? A wedding film is the only part of your budget that captures movement, voice and time. Everything else from the day fades or gets eaten; the film is still there at your tenth anniversary. If you're getting married in Tuscany, on Lake Como, on the Amalfi Coast or anywhere else in Italy, plan from €3,500 upward for a high-end destination wedding filmmaker — and consider a combined photo + video package: one team, one aesthetic, one contract, and often better overall value than hiring two separate premium studios.
