<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

We've been going back and forth on whether to hire a videographer or not for the wedding.  Anyone I've found who is in our reasonable price range (for us, read $1200) I have not been impressed with after looking at their portfolios/sample videos.  Those who I've found and liked have ranged from $2200-$3500.  For something that was not on the top of our priority list, this is a lot extra to spend.  

If you had or are planning to have a videographer, did you find it was worth it?  If you are comfortable sharing, how much was your videographer and what was included in their cost? In the end we can always have someone just use a home camera to record the events but I would prefer professional quality recording, sound, and editing. 

(What I really want is a recording of our ceremony, vows, speeches, special little moments photos don't necessarily capture, etc.  So about 6-8 hours of service.  I'd also love one of those 'movie trailer' style summaries in addition to a full wedding video.  If anyone has any suggestions for videographers serving the GTA area of Ontario, that would be great!  I've already done a decent search through bridal shows, recommendations, and weddingwire but no luck thus far.)
<bot>: Was a videographer worth it to you?  What was the cost and what was included?  Any suggestions for videographers in the GTA area?
