Videography Services in Ireland
Videography for a wedding, a christening, a milestone birthday or a business launch is booked around a fixed date, and that date does not move easily once a videographer has it in the diary. Most videographers in Ireland take a limited number of commissions per month, so popular Saturdays in June, July, August and December fill first. You choose the style — documentary, cinematic, same-day edit — and the length of the final film, then agree the date. Posting a task on ShamFix costs nothing today. Your task stays open for 30 days.

What shapes the price of videography
- The package you choose drives most of the cost.
- A half-day ceremony and reception edit is priced differently from a full-day wedding with two camera operators, drone coverage and a highlights film.
- Extras add up: additional hours, a second shooter, a same-day edit, a teaser for social media, travel to a venue in another county, and the number of finished films you receive.
- The deposit secures the date and is usually a percentage of the total, with the balance due before or on the day.
- Ask what is included in writing — raw footage, music licensing, and delivery format can all change the final figure.
How long videography takes
Book as early as you can for a fixed date. For weddings and christenings, six to twelve months ahead is common for peak Saturdays, and twelve to eighteen months for the most popular venues and dates. For a corporate launch or a family celebration, four to eight weeks is often enough, but check availability before you set the date. If your event is in the next few weeks, ask about short-notice availability directly. Confirm the booking in writing, pay the deposit, and agree a final call a week or two before the event to go through the running order and any must-have shots.
What to ask before you hire
- 01Ask about cancellation and postponement terms before you pay a deposit.
- 02What happens if you move the date, and what happens if the videographer cannot attend?
- 03Ask what the package includes in detail: hours of coverage, number of camera operators, drone use, editing time, and how many finished films you get.
- 04Ask who owns the footage and whether you receive the raw files.
- 05Ask how the videographer backs up footage and how long they keep it.
- 06Ask which professional body they are a member of, and whether they carry insurance for public liability.
- 07Ask for examples of full films, not just short trailers, so you see how they edit a complete event.

Videography questions people ask
How far in advance should I book a videographer for a wedding in Ireland?
Six to twelve months ahead is typical for a Saturday wedding in peak season. Popular dates in June, July, August and December can be taken twelve to eighteen months out. If your venue or date is fixed, enquire as soon as you have it. For off-season weekdays, four to six months may be enough, but confirm availability before you commit.
What should a videography package for a full-day event include?
A full-day package usually covers preparation, ceremony, speeches and the first part of the reception. It should state the number of hours, camera operators, whether drone footage is included, and how many edited films you receive. Ask about audio capture for vows and speeches, music licensing, and delivery format. Get the inclusions listed in writing before you pay a deposit.
What happens if I need to cancel or postpone my videography booking?
Cancellation and postponement terms vary, so read them before you pay. Many videographers transfer the deposit to a new date if you give enough notice, subject to availability. Some charge a fee or keep the deposit if the date cannot be refilled. Ask what notice period applies and whether the deposit is refundable, transferable, or lost.
What if the videographer is ill or cannot attend on the day?
Ask what cover arrangements exist before you book. Some videographers work in a network and can send a trusted colleague with similar equipment and style. Others may refund the deposit. Get the cover policy in writing and ask how the replacement would handle your shot list and editing. Confirm who edits the final film if cover is used.
Do I need to pay a deposit, and when is the balance due?
Yes, a deposit is standard to hold a fixed date. It is usually a percentage of the total and is paid when you confirm the booking. The balance is typically due before the event or on the day, depending on the videographer. Ask for a written schedule of payments and what happens to the deposit if plans change.
How long does it take to receive the finished video?
Turnaround depends on the package and the editing involved. A highlights film may take two to four weeks, while a full documentary edit can take six to twelve weeks in busy season. Ask for a delivery date in writing and whether a short teaser is provided earlier. Confirm how the final files are delivered and how long they are stored.
