We're worried about cost and were wondering if a friend or family member could videotape our wedding?
If you're considering filming it yourselves and giving us the footage you can do that, however please be aware it takes longer to edit footage shot by other people, especially if they aren't a professional. More time is required to adjust the sound and the lighting and often an amateur videographer won't have the skills to frame shots appropriately, or because they are emotionally involved in the big day, they might miss a crucial bit.
From a cost perspective you won't actually save that much, and you won't be able to guarantee the quality. If you decide to invest in a wedding video, make sure you spend the money on what is going to give you what you want, a true record of your day.
