Videography in Lagos typically costs between ₦150,000 and ₦1,000,000 in 2026, depending on the project. Social media and lifestyle videos start around ₦150,000, real estate videos run ₦200,000 to ₦500,000, corporate work sits between ₦300,000 and ₦450,000, and wedding films range from ₦400,000 for essential coverage to over ₦1,000,000 for destination weddings.
What drives the price of a video project
Four things move the number more than anything else: how many hours of filming you need, how long the final edit runs, whether drone or a second shooter is involved, and how much post-production the footage needs. A one-minute social clip shot in two hours is a different job from a ten-hour wedding with two videographers and a drone operator.
- Filming time: half-day and full-day shoots cost more than a two-hour session.
- Final deliverables: a 1-minute reel is quicker to cut than a 10-minute property tour.
- Add-ons: aerial drone footage, voiceover, subtitles, and a second camera each add to the total.
- Post-production: advanced editing and colour grading take more time than a basic cut.

Why cheaper is not always better
A low quote often means fewer hours, a single camera, a rushed edit, or no colour grading. The finished video is what your audience actually sees, so the edit and the grade matter as much as the camera on the day. It is worth asking any videographer exactly what is included before comparing prices.
