§ Category guide · South Asian videographers
Videographers. The cinematic arc of your day.
A decade ago, videographers were the second-tier hire — handed whatever budget remained. Today the good ones produce cinema-grade work that rivals the photography. For South Asian weddings, the best videographers capture the energy of a baraat, the patience of a nikah, the chaos-and-beauty of a Mehndi night without sanitizing any of it.

§ Frequently asked · videographers in the GTA
Real questions, real answers.
How much does an Indian wedding videographer cost in the GTA?
Indian wedding videography in the GTA typically runs $3,000 to $10,000 for a full ceremony-and-reception package, with drone coverage or a second videographer adding $2,000 to $3,500. Highlight-film-only packages start around $2,000. Multi-day weddings with mehndi, sangeet, and baraat coverage usually scale to $7,000 to $15,000 plus.
How far in advance should I book a wedding videographer in Toronto?
Book 10 to 14 months out and pair the videographer-booking with your photographer-booking. The studios that handle both filmmaking and photography fill earliest in the GTA, especially for May through October Saturday dates. Last-minute bookings inside 3 months are usually possible only for off-season or weekday weddings.
What should I look for in a South Asian wedding videographer?
Watch 2 to 3 of their full highlight films (not 30-second reels) to judge editing pace, music licensing, and how they handle ceremony audio. Confirm what is delivered (highlight 4-8 min, full film 15-30 min, raw footage), turnaround (8 to 12 weeks is the GTA benchmark), and whether they shoot with wireless lavs for the ceremony.
What is the difference between a highlight film and a full wedding film?
A highlight film is a 4 to 8 minute cinematic edit cut to one or two tracks, intended for sharing. A full wedding film runs 15 to 30 minutes and covers the ceremony, speeches, and reception highlights in near-real-time. Most GTA packages include both. Raw footage is sometimes a paid add-on at $300 to $800.
