📅 When Should You Book Your Wedding Videographer?

If you're planning a wedding in Birmingham, Gadsden, Huntsville, or anywhere in Alabama, you may be wondering:

"How early should I book my wedding videographer?"

At JNF Weddings, we hear this question all the time—and the answer depends on a few key things: your wedding date, location, and how important video is to you.

Here’s what you need to know about booking your wedding videographer at the right time.

📆 1. The Sweet Spot: 9–12 Months BeforeYour Wedding When to book a wedding videographer

In general, we recommend booking your videographer 9 to 12 months in advance, especially if you're getting married during peak season (spring or fall).

Popular dates go fast—especially Saturdays in April, May, September, and October.

🎯 Pro Tip: If your wedding is during a holiday weekend or overlaps with football season in Alabama, lock it in even earlier.

🕐 2. Booking Late? 4–6 Months Might Still Work

If your wedding is just 4–6 months away, you can still find a videographer—but your options may be limited.

At JNF Weddings, we occasionally have last-minute openings, but most of our couples book 8–10 months in advance.

🎯 Pro Tip: Be flexible on hours or packages if booking late—we may be able to customize something that fits your timeline.

🗓️ 3. Getting Married in 2025 or Beyond? Start Now

If you're planning a wedding in 2025, now is a great time to secure your date. Booking early:

• Locks in current pricing

• Gives you first pick of packages

• Opens the door for planning things like interviews, teasers, or multi-day coverage

🎯 Early birds often get bonus perks like free teaser trailers or drone footage.

🔁 4. Why Booking Early Matters

Video is the only thing that captures your voices, your vows, your laughs, and the in-between moments.

Waiting too long to book your videographer can mean:

• Losing the team you really want

• Having fewer package options

• Paying rush fees

🎯 Once you know your venue and date—book your videographer.
