At Pixel Pie Weddings, we’re more than just your photo and video team—we’re your support system, your calm in the chaos, and sometimes even your unofficial wedding-day therapists. Our goal isn’t just to capture your big day but to make sure you actually enjoy it, stress-free. Sure, we might be a little biased (we do live for those perfect shots!), but after hundreds of weddings, we’ve learned that our role goes way beyond the camera. From helping with timelines to calming nerves, we’re there every step of the way to make sure your day flows smoothly and feels like a celebration—not a production.
And while our starting price is just $1,485, the peace of mind we bring? That’s priceless. Let’s dive into what else makes our services so valuable.
The Art and Skill of Wedding Photography and Videography
Wedding photography and videography aren’t just about snapping pictures or recording footage—they’re about capturing the essence of your love story. Professionals spend years perfecting their skills, learning to handle everything from low-light ceremonies to fast-paced dance floors. They know how to frame a shot to make your heart skip a beat and how to edit footage into a cinematic masterpiece. This expertise comes at a cost, but it’s what ensures your photos and videos are more than just images—they’re memories you’ll treasure forever.
(We might be biased, but we’ve seen what happens when you leave it to an amateur. Ever seen a wedding album full of blurry phone pics? Let’s just say it’s not the vibe you want for your big day.)
The Price of Top-Notch Equipment
To deliver those jaw-dropping shots, photographers and videographers rely on high-end equipment. Professional-grade cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software can cost thousands of dollars, and that’s before factoring in regular upgrades to stay current. This investment ensures your photos are crystal clear and your videos have that movie-like quality. Plus, pros always have backup gear on hand. (Because nothing screams “romance” like a camera dying during your first kiss. Don’t worry, we’ve got spares for days!)
The Hidden Hours of Work
Many couples don’t realize how much time goes into creating those perfect wedding photos and videos. Before the wedding, professionals spend hours consulting with you, scouting venues, and planning shots. On the day, they’re on their feet for 8–12 hours, capturing every moment. And after? The real work begins. Editing a single 5-minute highlight video can take 20–30 hours, while photo editing involves tweaking hundreds of images to perfection. This time-intensive process is a big part of the cost.
(Editing is no joke. It’s like trying to wrangle a herd of pixelated kittens into a masterpiece. Trust us, it’s a labor of love!)
The Emotional Value of Memories
Beyond the technical side, there’s the heart of it all: the emotional value. Your wedding photos and videos are more than just files—they’re the way you’ll relive your vows, your first dance, and the joy of your loved ones. According to The Knot’s 2025 Real Weddings Study, 19% of couples regretted not hiring a videographer, highlighting how much these memories matter. Years from now, when you’re showing your grandkids your wedding album, you’ll be glad you invested in quality.
Market Factors and Pricing
Costs also vary by location and demand. In bustling cities or for luxury weddings, prices can climb due to higher competition and expectations. For example, WeddingWire notes that wedding photographer prices typically range from $1,150 to $3,000, while videographers average $1,400 to $3,600. Luxury services can go much higher, with some packages reaching $12,000.
But here’s where we shine: at Pixel Pie Weddings, our packages start at just $1,485, yet we deliver the quality and service you’d expect from vendors charging $3,000 or more. How? We’re passionate, efficient, and committed to making your day unforgettable without breaking the bank.

Do you have a pre-production process?
Great wedding photography and videography start long before your big day. We believe in getting to know your unique story and preferences, so we can capture the genuine, candid moments that truly reflect who you are. It’s not just about showing up and taking photos; it’s about understanding you and your vision.
We work closely with you to create a seamless wedding day schedule, ensuring every important moment is beautifully captured without feeling rushed. We also offer gentle guidance on posing, helping you look and feel your best in a way that’s natural and true to your style.
If you have specific ideas or inspirations—like a Pinterest board or themes you love—we’re eager to hear them! By blending your vision with our creative expertise, we bring your dreams to life in ways you might not have imagined. Our goal is to create wedding photos that exceed your expectations and capture the essence of your love story.
What is your backup plan if you're unable to photograph our wedding?
We take our commitment to you very seriously, but we understand that life can be unpredictable. That’s why we always have a backup plan in place to ensure your special day is captured perfectly.
Even though we’re a husband-and-wife team, we’re supported by a small, trusted group of team members who share our vision and approach. They’re always ready to step in if needed. And if, in the rare event, our team isn’t available, we’ve built strong connections with other production companies that we trust to step in and provide the same level of care and quality.
In all our years, we’ve never had to use our backup plan, but it’s there to give you peace of mind, knowing your wedding memories are in good hands.
How long after the wedding will we receive our photos and videos?
We know how excited you’ll be to relive your wedding day, so we work hard to deliver your full gallery as quickly as possible—usually within 1-2 months. The timeline can vary depending on factors like the number of photographers/videographers, the length of your event, and the complexity of the editing process.
But we share your excitement! That’s why we’ll send you a ‘sneak peek’ of some special moments shortly after your wedding, so you can start enjoying those memories while we perfect the full collection.
Who will be capturing our wedding?
We’re Liza and Matt, the husband-and-wife duo behind our company. As lead videographers and editors, we pour our hearts into every wedding we capture. We do our best to attend as many weddings as possible, but when we can’t be there ourselves, our small, in-house team steps in.
Each team member is handpicked because they share our passion and vision, ensuring you receive the same personalized care and comprehensive coverage that we would provide. Your wedding day is as important to us as it is to you, and we’re committed to making sure it’s captured beautifully.
What if I don't like my wedding photos/videos?
We understand how important it is for you to love your wedding photos/videos, and that’s why we take your trust seriously. You’re not just investing in a service—you’re entrusting us with your once-in-a-lifetime memories. To make sure we capture your day exactly as you envision, we dedicate time to careful planning and getting to know your preferences.
We encourage you to browse our portfolio and read reviews from the many couples we’ve worked with. Their happiness is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Before your big day, we’ll have consultations to discuss your style, preferences, and any special requests. We’re in this together, and we welcome your input every step of the way. Plus, we’ll send you a preview shortly after the wedding, so you can share your immediate feedback. While it’s natural to have concerns, our thorough approach and proven track record aim to ease those worries and ensure you love the final result.
