Decision Guide

One team.
Or two vendors?

Hiring separately sounds smart — until you have two contracts, two timelines, two color palettes, and two vendors getting in each other's shots. Here's the honest breakdown of when each makes sense.

AGV Bundle

One Team

$5,500–$9,500

1 lead photographer + 1 cinematographer · matched color · one contract · one timeline · faster delivery

Separate Vendors

Two Teams

$7,000–$12,500

2 contracts · 2 deposits · 2 timelines to coordinate · color may not match · 2 deliverables in different windows

Side-by-side

What each delivers.

One contract, one invoice, one point of contact
Photo + film color-matched (looks like the same wedding)
Photographer + cinematographer pre-coordinate timeline
No "stepping in each other's shots" awkwardness
Single payment + tax document
Specialist depth (super-niche cinematography style)
Backup if one vendor cancels
Easier for the couple to manage
Cost savings vs hiring separately
Standard at AGV
AGV
Separate

AGV bundle wins:

  • ◆Couples who hate juggling vendor emails
  • ◆Photo + film delivered with matching color science (same Lightroom + DaVinci pipeline)
  • ◆Coordinated day-of timeline — never "wait, where's the videographer?"
  • ◆One contract, one deposit, one schedule. Cleaner planning.
  • ◆Bundled pricing — typically $1,500 to $3,000 less than booking separately
  • ◆Same team handling sneak peek + delivery — faster turnaround than two vendors

Separate teams wins:

  • ◆You've already booked a photographer + want to add a videographer post-fact
  • ◆You want a hyper-specific cinematic style that AGV doesn't offer (e.g. all-Super-8 documentary)
  • ◆You're working around vendor referrals from your venue or planner
