Wedding moments captured by your favorite people.
The real stuff.
Forget the stiff, posed wedding videos that feel more like a corporate production
Your wedding deserves something authentic: raw laughter, happy tears, spontaneous dance moves, and all those in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. Our Wedding Camcorder service puts the camera in the hands of the people who know you best, capturing your celebration exactly as it unfolds.
Sounds like what you’re looking for?
Traditional wedding videography feels... off.
You know the vibe: a videographer following you around all day, asking you to "do that again" for the camera, creating those overly-produced highlight reels that all look the same. It's expensive, and honestly? It doesn't feel like you.
What if your wedding video could feel like home movies, but elevated?
That's exactly what we created. Authentic footage shot by someone who actually knows your inside jokes, captured in real-time without interrupting the flow of your day, and professionally edited into a film you'll actually want to watch again and again.
Why This Works
Your people + our expertise = wedding video magic
Authenticity you can't fake: When your best friend or cousin is behind the camera, people relax. They're not performing for a stranger. They're just being themselves. The result? Genuine smiles, real emotions, and footage that actually captures the energy of your day.
Zero disruption: No extra person to coordinate, no staged moments, no "let's do that toast again." Your cam person is already part of the celebration, so they can capture everything without getting in the way.
Everyone gets involved: Pass the camera around during cocktail hour. Let Grandma record a message. Capture your bridesmaids' getting-ready chaos from the inside. These perspectives make your video feel alive.
Professional polish: Sure, your friend films it, but we edit it. You get cinematic editing, thoughtful pacing, gorgeous color grading, and a soundtrack that actually fits your vibe. Plus access to all the raw footage if you want to relive every single second.

Wedding Camcorder Package: $1000
That's it. No hourly rates, no hidden fees, no "packages" that force you to buy things you don't need. Just one simple price for everything listed above.
Compare that to traditional wedding videography ($3,000-$8,000+) and ask yourself: do you want a perfect, polished commercial for your wedding, or do you want to actually remember what it felt like to be there?
What To Expect
Step 1: The Camera Arrives
Your camcorder shows up 2 days before the wedding, giving your designated cam person time to get comfortable with it. We include a dead-simple user guide (seriously, if you can use your phone camera, you can use this), extra batteries, memory cards, and everything you need. But honestly? It's just press record and go.
Pro tip: Choose someone who's organized and won't lose track of the camera, but also someone who's comfortable being in the mix of things. Your outgoing cousin who's friends with everyone? Perfect. Your shy uncle who stays in the corner? Maybe not.
Step 2: Capture Everything
From the rehearsal dinner toasts to getting-ready mimosas, from your first look to last call on the dance floor, your cam person captures it all. The flip screen means they can record themselves dancing (trust us, you'll want this footage). They can pass it to other guests for different perspectives. No moment is off limits.
What to film: Morning prep and nerves, walking down the aisle (get that guest POV!), ceremony reactions, cocktail hour shenanigans, toasts that make everyone cry-laugh, your signature dance moves, that surprise performance, late-night pizza runs, everything.
Step 3: Ship It Back
Wedding over? Pop the camera in the prepaid shipping box we provide and send it back. Easy.
Step 4: Relive the Magic
Within 6-8 weeks, you'll receive a beautifully edited film (8-15 minutes) that captures the heart of your day, plus access to ALL the raw footage in your online gallery. Watch it on your TV, phone, tablet, whatever. Download your favorites. Share clips with family. This is your footage forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
That's the beauty of this. There's no pressure for perfection. We'll edit whatever footage you capture into something beautiful. Some of the best moments are the shaky, unexpected shots. That said, we provide clear guidance on must-film moments.
-
Absolutely! Many couples do this to capture different perspectives (bride and groom getting ready separately, or one for ceremony and one for reception chaos).
-
The camera is insured. You're not on the hook for damage or loss (though we've never had anyone lose one. Weddings are surprisingly good at keeping track of expensive things).
-
Phone cameras are great, but they're not designed for all-day filming. Our camcorders have an authentic and nostalgic quality that cant be replicated on a phone. Plus, the dedicated camera means your cam person isn't killing their phone battery.
-
Perfect! They complement each other beautifully. Professional videographers give you the polished, cinematic footage. Your camcorder gives you the raw, intimate moments they might miss.

We check all of our cameras before shipping, but highly recommend testing out the camera when it arrives before the wedding. If there’s any technical issues, please email us asap at hello@wandermorephotography.com
