Wedding Videographer in Delray Beach: The 2026 Guide

Delray Beach gives couples something the bigger South Florida cities cannot: a walkable downtown that ends at the ocean. Atlantic Avenue runs from the Intracoastal to the sand, lined with restaurants, galleries and the kind of restored 1920s buildings that make a wedding film feel like it belongs to a specific place. Add the Morikami Japanese Gardens ten minutes west, the Sundy House gardens downtown and the beach itself, and you have a town that was built to be photographed without ever meaning to be.

We are Live Global Studios, a full-service production company based in Miami Beach, and we film weddings in Delray Beach with a full crew. This guide covers what makes Delray weddings different to film, which venues shape the day, what wedding videography costs here in 2026 and how to choose the team that will make the film your family watches for decades.

What makes Delray Beach weddings different

Delray is intimate. Guest counts tend to run smaller than Boca Raton or Palm Beach, venues are closer together and many weddings happen entirely within a few blocks. That changes the film. Instead of long transitions between a church across town and a hotel ballroom, the day flows from a getting-ready suite at the Seagate or the Opal Grand to a ceremony on the beach or in a garden, then a reception a short walk away. A crew that understands this rhythm can capture the walk down Atlantic Avenue, the reaction of the crowd at a sidewalk cafe, the light coming through the banyans, and build a film that feels like an afternoon rather than a schedule.

The beach ceremonies bring the usual coastal challenges. Wind off the Atlantic will destroy audio from a camera-mounted microphone, so our audio engineer mics the couple and the officiant with lavaliers and records a backup. Drone work over the beach is permitted in many areas, and we hold FAA Part 107 certification and confirm the rules for each site. The best beach light comes in the hour before sunset when the sun drops behind the town, and we schedule portraits around it.

Weather is the other consideration. From June through October, an afternoon storm can arrive from the west with little warning, and we build a covered backup into the plan with the planner so the film keeps its strongest sequence even when the ceremony moves indoors.

The venues that define the day

The Sundy House is the Delray classic. Its tropical gardens, the 1902 house and the courtyard produce a lush, layered look that photographs like a film set. The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens gives couples a completely different palette, with water, bridges, bonsai and long paths that reward wide composed shots and a drone pass over the lake. The Seagate Hotel, the Opal Grand Oceanfront Resort and the Delray Beach Marriott anchor the beach end of Atlantic Avenue with ballrooms and oceanfront lawns.

For smaller weddings, the Colony Hotel downtown, the Old School Square grounds and the Cornell Art Museum courtyard give a historic setting within walking distance of the reception restaurants. West of downtown, the Delray Beach Golf Club and private estates in the Lake Ida neighborhood host weddings with more space for tents and dance floors.

Couples who want a portrait sequence away from the venue often use the beach at the end of Atlantic, the Delray Beach Pavilion, the murals in Pineapple Grove and the Intracoastal docks at Veterans Park. We build a route into the timeline so the couple spends fifteen focused minutes on portraits and gets back to their guests.

What a Delray Beach wedding videographer costs in 2026

Delray pricing sits in the middle of the South Florida market. A solo videographer with one camera and a short highlight film generally runs 2,000 to 3,500 dollars. Two-camera coverage with a highlight film, full ceremony and toasts edits and a drone pass typically runs 3,800 to 7,000 dollars. Full production with a three or four person crew, a cinematic short film, a feature-length documentary edit, same-week social clips and rehearsal dinner coverage generally runs 7,000 to 15,000 dollars and up.

Our wedding packages sit in the middle and upper ranges. Every booking includes a director, a director of photography, an audio engineer and a producer, which is more than most wedding videographers bring and the reason the vows are clean, the ceremony is covered from two angles and someone is watching the timeline while the cameras roll. Travel from Miami Beach to Delray is included in most quotes. We also offer combined photo and video so the couple manages one vendor and both teams work from one plan.

How to choose your videographer

Start by watching full films rather than highlight reels. A full ceremony edit from a beach wedding will tell you immediately whether the crew handles wind and audio. A full toasts edit from a restaurant or garden reception will show how they manage mixed lighting.

Ask how many people will be on site and what each person does. Ask about the drone plan and whether the team has flown at your venue. Ask about turnaround: a teaser within a week, a highlight film in four to six weeks and the full edit in eight to ten weeks is a fair expectation in 2026.

Finally, ask how the videographer works with your planner and photographer. Delray weddings move quickly between locations that are close together, and the best films come from vendors who plan the day as a team.

How we work with couples

We start with a planning call to learn your story, the moments that matter most and the tone you want the film to carry. Some couples want the vows in full. Others want a short cinematic piece that opens on Atlantic Avenue and ends on the dance floor. We build the coverage and the edit around that answer.

Many couples record a short interview with us before the wedding at The Chat Room, our Miami Beach studio on Lincoln Road with four sets. Those interviews become the narration for the film and are often the part families return to years later. For couples who prefer not to travel, we film the interview at your home or venue in Delray. On the wedding day our producer coordinates with your planner so you never think about the cameras. After the wedding you receive a private online gallery, download links and physical drives on request.
