You’re getting married soon, but the economy is in the tank. Maybe that over-the-top wedding isn’t such a good idea.

    Great information that we are all aready facing, with even harder times here in Michigan. It was odd that MSNBC never mentioned any view point from a videographer and it is added to the MIVA Blog…

    I would think it’s on the MIVA site because it addresses the wedding industry as a whole and videography is part of the wedding industry. If the average cost of a wedding is $29,000, part of that $29,000 should be for a videographer. If it’s not, we need to figure out better ways to improve our image so videography becomes an essential part of the bride’s wedding day.
