So, you’re getting married in Sweden? First of all, grattis! 🎉 Whether you’re saying “I do” beneath the Northern Lights, in a cozy lakeside cabin, or in a grand Stockholm ballroom, one thing is certain—your wedding deserves to be remembered in the most cinematic way possible.
And that’s where an amazing wedding videographer comes in.
But finding the one (no, not your partner—you’ve already nailed that part) can be a challenge. Do you go for a local pro, fly someone in, or trust your cousin Sven with his new iPhone? 🤔 (Spoiler alert: don’t go with Sven.)
Let’s dive into everything you need to know to find the perfect videographer for your wedding in Sweden.
1. What’s Your Wedding Video Style? 🎬
Not all wedding videos look the same. Some feel like a Hollywood movie, others like a beautifully captured documentary. Which style fits your love story?
The Most Popular Wedding Videography Styles:
🎞️ Cinematic – Think slow-motion kisses, sweeping drone shots, and emotional music that brings tears to your eyes.
🎤 Storytelling – A mix of candid moments, vows, and behind-the-scenes footage woven together like a romantic documentary.
🎥 Documentary – A raw and real representation of your day with minimal posing.
🎞️ Vintage/Artistic – Old-school Super 8mm film, muted tones, and a nostalgic feel.
📌 Pro tip: Check out wedding videos on Vimeo and YouTube to get a sense of what you love.

3. Essential Questions to Ask Before Booking 🎙️
Before saying yes to your videographer, ask these key questions:
✔️ What’s included in your package? (Highlight reel? Full-length film? Raw footage?)
✔️ How long have you been filming weddings? (Experience matters!)
✔️ Do you work alone or with a second shooter? (More angles = better storytelling.)
✔️ What’s your editing style? (Match it to your photography.)
✔️ How long does it take to get the final video? (Patience is great, but no one wants to wait a year.)
📌 Pro tip: Always ask to see a full wedding film, not just a highlight reel.
4. How Much Does a Wedding Videographer Cost in Sweden? 💰
Wedding videography in Sweden can cost anywhere from €1,500 to €6,000+, depending on experience and coverage.
💸 €1,500 – €2,500 – Emerging videographers or limited coverage.
💸 €2,500 – €4,500 – Mid-range pros with cinematic quality.
💸 €4,500 – €6,000+ – High-end videographers with premium storytelling, drone shots, and multiple shooters.
📌 Worth the investment? 100%. Photos freeze a moment. Video lets you relive it—over and over again.
5. Local Videographer or Fly One In? ✈️
If you’re having a destination wedding in Sweden, you might wonder if you should book a local pro or bring a videographer from home.
Pros of Hiring a Swedish Videographer:
✅ Knows the best locations for epic shots.
✅ No extra travel costs.
✅ Familiar with Swedish weather (aka unpredictable!).
Pros of Bringing a Videographer from Abroad:
✅ They know your culture and traditions.
✅ You may have worked with them before.
✅ Unique editing and storytelling style.
📌 Best advice? If you’re eloping or having a micro-wedding, a local pro is a great choice. If it’s a big cultural celebration, a videographer from home might be worth it.
