I hate to burst your bubble ladies, but most if not all wedding videos shot by friends turn out really badly. Your friends will be there to have fun and enjoy themselves, they will not be interested in shooting your movie for free. I got married a few years ago and I hired an inexpensive videographer because we just didn't have enough for the really fancy ones. I'm sure you already know how quickly your budget evaporates. We spent way too much on photos. Anyway, we had some family members volunteer to shoot video also, so we figured we would combine the two. I was so glad I hired a videographer! The family videos were horrible! They were shaky, all over the place, out of focus, too close in people faces, and grainy when it got dark. We had a small wedding and only spent $500 for the video, but we were so happy when we saw the pro version compared to the family version. I would have been crushed if I had placed all my hopes on what my family and friends shot. We used this company called Advanced Video. They only cover Southern California but if you need a video of your entire wedding for $500 I would sure recommend them. If you need some other choices, I came across this other website the other night, and they have wedding vendors all across the country, maybe you can find a cheap videographer in your neck of the woods, try Best Wedding Pros.
