Does Judge Judy Agree Videographer Ruined Wedding Video?

[@VroomBroom439]

My sister got married last year. She paid well over $1,000 for a photographer and videographer. Why someone would think $250 wasn’t going to be crap quality I don’t know.

[@jeffk1722]

My brother got a $400 videographer SLASH DJ, for his wedding lol. They got what they paid for, but all things considered, it was good enough. Played a song and then got on the camera, but hey- if the laptop has a good playlist, why not?

[@jazzyj6640]

I didn’t know they can cost that much but it makes sense when you think about all the edits and other stuff that goes into videography.

[@geminuri]

we paid around $3000 for video AND photos. $250.. that's video is what they paid for lol

Any real wedding videographer is at least $3500. Anything below that is going to be mediocre as hell. Someone charging $1000 or less is as newbie as could be and your going to get a crap product period

if it was $2500 he most likely would have gotten some money back, since in this case part of the case is about how much he paid; he paid $250, and for a wedding videographer thats a steal, so unless she was crazy her quality was bound to be dipped.

[@VisualizeHealing]

The videographer did an extraordinary job filming and her time is certainly worth FAR more than this cheapskate paid her. Some of her editing was a bit too artsy for me but with the footage she had, and the amount of time she spent editing it, if he actually PAID her a FAIR amount, he could have had her reedit the footage to his liking.

No. You're ignorant. The video was high school level. She had ideas but NO skill.

Always include in the contract that you receive all the raw footage shot. Then if you do not like the edit, take the footage to a more qualified video editor and get it edited the way you like. For that price, they were not even paying for hours of editing that it required. Ridiculous.

[@briellejacobs1045]

TERRIBLE advice. No legit and professional photographer or videographer would ever give raw footage. The ONLY time I sell raw footage is when clients are famous or want a NDA and pay $1000s per image for raw photos and copyrights. Otherwise, they are newbies who are not good that offer raw footage or photos

[@Frosty0762]

Most don't offer giving the raw footage, that's how they make their money. However, I'm not sure if videographers, especially for this case, don't. If anything, they should have at minimum asked instead of pulling this bs.

$250 for a videographer?! They could have recorded the entire thing on a flip phone and texted it to me and I would have been happy for $250.

[@Sara-xk1ns]

My sister didn’t have the budget for a videographer with the experience she would’ve liked, but she had some funds available and put a post online asking if any videographers wanted to do the job for the listed price to gain experience, exposure, work for their portfolio. It was an amazing beach venue, with a carosel in a gorgeous antique building and anyone would love to film/take photos in it. This college kid responded and sent her some work, said he would do it. Let me tell you, he was a huge highlight to the wedding. He was so excited and eager to work, he set up go pros to get multiple angles of the ceremony, came with bubble wands and noise makers to get kids attention and keep them smiling. He was just an amazing person just having him there was a pleasure and we honestly weren’t expecting anything over the top. Within 48 hours he had already edited a huge portion and sent us a preview. It was out of this world!! We couldn’t wait for the full video, which he of course, nailed as well. My sister and her ex have since divorced lol but I will always recommend her videographer and we still love his work. I think it’s tacky to ask for discounts or expect someone to work for less then they’re worth. But if someone is just starting out and offers to work at a reduced rate to gain experience, that’s different. But you as the person hiring them, also need to know your expectations need to be realistic for what they’re capable of. Oh, and we made sure all of the workers we hired ate and were taken care of. We had food trucks, dessert tables, buffet. At one point we even told the photographer, her helper and the videographer sit down, we don’t need pictures of everyone’s mouth full, eat with us! And having them sit and chit chat was so much fun, they got to ask about family, relationships and who to focus the camera on more and stuff.

[@protectorofillinois3]

Since they won't post the full case (which is why I'm glad I didn't subscribe to this channel), I'll tell you - I saw the full case today on tv and the wedding video was crap. It was in black-and-white (altho certain sections were in full color), and please don't get me started on the editing. It was the absolute worst. The videographer is not a professional at all, and the Plaintiff and his husband want their $250 back? PUH-LEASE! They should've checked her references, but instead, the videographer was recommended to them by a friend of theirs. A very messy wedding video and I'm sorry, but they got what they paid for.

[@johnathanpatrick6118]

I beg to differ. The groom sued her for 1,800 USD which is absolutely ludicrous if you ask me. He did only pay 250$ which is again nothing compared to having her to stand on her feet for about 12 hours (recording the whole ceremony). And also, he did admit that she showed him her work and he was clearly impressed enough to appoint her as the wedding videographer. She must definitely work on sharpening her skills. But as far as money is concerned, the video was certainly worth more than 250 …. My take.

I had a business for 8 years, oh would it have been nice to say "We charged half the price of the big competitors; you're lucky we did anything at all for you". Instead we did things for $50 /hr and 1.5 days that competitors could accomplish with 3 $90/hr consultants on site plus two weeks. We had one client we thought we could save $2M; we promised $1M. They were so used to big companies coming in and lying through their teeth they said OK but we'd be happy with $500K. We ended up saving them $3M! They were so happy they gave us a $50K bonus that wasn't in the contract. That's how you do business as a smaller company - always underpromise and over deliver. Everyone assumes that if you're smaller you'll give them #&^##@. Never, ever underperform or it'll confirm the stereotypes and they'll drop you immediately.
