Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend any local photographers that also do videos for weddings in the south west sydney area?
Also looking for stretch hummer hire as well. how much did you pay for these services or how much to expect.
Looking to spend about $2-3k for each one for one ay.
Thanks Guys.
They had a stretch hummer on the Melbourne Cudo yesterday for $229 for one hour

Are you saying you want to spend $2k-3k for BOTH photo and video? I don't think you will get anything decent for that budget though. $2k-3k each makes more sense.
Thank you for the response guys.
Ideally I don't want to spend more than 4k for both photo and video. I've been given a quote for just video of $2k but their work is quite basic. So I'm hoping for some sort of package on both video and photo might come with some discounts.
Happy to hear your suggestions
I'm a wedding videographer myself so I know how much it cost. And the rule is true "you get what you pay for".
You can only get away cheaper for a good video is if you get lucky and find a real good videographer who's just started and trying to get as much work for portfolios. But then again, they are new so there's always a risk.
Point is, for $2k I can assure you can only get a basic work.. even with combined photo+video package. Decent perhaps, but not a superior quality.
For a good quality product it should cost you around $4k each for a 10-12 hours coverage.
I would always recommend taking a thorough look at their portfolio. I have seen some absolutely shocking wedding videography/photography from people who charge $3k +
There are plenty of weekend warriors out there who have nice gear but little to no training, skill or artistic ability.
100% true.
There is a new type of photography/videography combo packages
Here is 1 guy that does it (I'm not recommending him, but when I met him for a Job he told me that he was doing seminar's for AIPP members on this new type of package)

Contact your nearest uni which offers photo courses.
speak to the head of the department.
ask if they will recommend a couple of good final year students to take pics/video. throwing a couple of hundred at each student to then crop/edit etc.
students get paid experience, buffer their portfolio, you get enthusiatic students whom have excellent equipment and want to please because it benefits them.
remember this is Ozbargain
remember - you are never going to watch your own wedding video.
Thank you guys some great suggestions there
