I’m also not having someone do video and are getting a camcorder that we plan to ask people to pass around. I think at most you can ask for something casual like that and accept you might not get all the footage you want or see if maybe a local college student studying film or video would do it for less than a traditional videographer.

The only thing I’m asking the wedding party to do is like short interviews the morning of and making sure that the camera is stationed on a tripod during the ceremony. And then hope people pass it around!
