This page will guide you through how we capture, edit, and deliver your wedding films and hopefully answer most of your questions. Please refer to the example edits below to get a better idea of how each video is edited. Once you have looked through this guide, I would love to set up a phone call to go over some details about your wedding day and see what we can do to customize the perfect package for you.

Additional Highlight examples:
Pre-Ceremony Film
Arrival - Upon our arrival, one of our team members will set up detail shots, dresses, shoes, invitations, ect. Typically we will have one person with the girls and one with the guys, capturing make-up, getting ready, gift/card exchange, ect.
How it's edited - As seen in the examples below, the Pre-Ceremony edit is a mix between documentary and cinematic style. It is a specially edited sequence that will include creative establishing and getting ready shots, with any raw moments that are captured between both the girls and guys getting ready.
CEREMONY
How much do we capture? We begin recording soon as guest are sat, and we don’t stop recording until the bride and groom have made their exit. We will be capturing the ENTIRE ceremony in 4K resolution. An additional locked down camera will be set up in the back, to use as a third angle. In editing, we cut to this third angle to eliminate seeing any camera shakes or movement from the other cameras.
Audio- You can never have enough back ups for audio. Other than the microphones on each camera, we will place a small lapel mic on the groom and/or efficient. Don't worry, this is for the ceremony only and If possible, we will plug in an additional recorder in the sound board, if DJ or band allows .
Cocktail Hour Music Video
Coverage- It is very important for us to capture every little detail, especially the things that the bride and groom often miss, such as the reception room set up before the guest enter, or just cocktail hour in general. We will have one cameraman shooting the photo shoot, and another shooting cocktail hour, venue, along with details.
Edit- As shown in the examples below, the post ceremony sequence is basically an edited music video, combining both the photo shoot along with cocktail hour.

Delivery Time & Final Product
Whether it’s the style of editing, or coloring, we strive to create a wedding film that is unique, and that suits your style/personalities. If you chose a photographer with a super bright and airy style then we try our hardest to color our films to match that, and same goes for the darker, or more “moody” looks. Digital deliveries are complimentary, however, we do offer DVD’s, Flash drives, and/or External Hard drives as an additional option. All of the above will include an animated menu like the example below. From this menu you can view, share, or download the videos directly to your computer.
Typically our wedding films take 8-12 weeks depending on the time of year/current workload. During the editing process we will upload completed edits (like the one below) so you can keep up with the editing progress.
