If you want to capture all the intimate moments of your wedding, a videographer is a must. A same-day edited video can be included in your package to provide a cinematic highlight film that you can show at your reception. This will eliminate the need to wait weeks for the full-length movie. This special inclusion allows your loved ones to relive your wedding day in real time.
Highlights of Your Day
The popularity of a same-day wedding video continues to grow. A same-day edit is a video that condenses your wedding day. It includes footage of the bridal preparations, ceremony, portraits after the ceremony, your first dance, and your reception. The result is a cinematic preview from the perspective of the bride and groom. This edit will be added to your wedding video, and a second videographer must be included in your package. A second videographer will continue to film the footage for your full-length video while one videographer edits. The full version of the video will not be compromised, and all of your wedding reception’s joyous moments will be captured. The same-day edited video is typically three to five minutes long and includes some of the most memorable moments of your wedding day. Some couples prefer to use longer sequences with full audio rather than music that is looped on top of the visuals. It would be best if you met your videographer before your wedding in order to discuss your requests and to plan your timeline.
You can also get an idea of their previous work and style by meeting your videographer. You should trust your videographer with your love story but also have faith in their talent and vision. Your videographer will then transfer the high-definition footage to a USB. This can be viewed at your wedding reception on a TV or projector and at home later.
An Exclusive Premiere
The average wedding video is between one and two hours long, but editing a full day of footage can take several months. A same-day edited video allows you to see the highlights from your wedding footage and rewatch them in the interim. You and your partner can watch each other’s nervousness in the morning and their journey to the wedding ceremony. They can also see the moment when you say, ‘I do.’ The wedding preparations can take many months or even years. However, the actual day will pass so quickly that it won’t be easy to keep all of your precious memories. You can step out of your perspective and experience your wedding from the viewpoints of others while your partner is by your side. The same-day editing will be a shared experience between you and your loved ones. The majority of guests won’t be able to attend the festivities and early morning preparations before or after your wedding ceremony. But this video gives them a sneak peek at the moments shared between you, with your partner, and the wedding party. You will be able to show your loved ones that they were a part of the wedding, especially since many people will not have seen the final version of your video.
You can share your highlight video online with your friends and family who could not attend the wedding ceremony.
Hold Their Attention
The same-day edit should not halt your wedding celebrations, no matter how excited you and your partner are to see your compilation. The same-day cut is about the same length as an extended trailer. It’s long enough to give your guests and you a taste but not too long that they lose interest. The key to keeping your guests engaged is to decide when to show your video. Some couples will want to show more footage at the end of the reception, but this is when guests are likely to become restless.
It will take the videographer a few hours to edit the video. So, when planning which event to film last and when to show the final product, keep this in mind. If your guests are already seated, it is best to show the video after the cake has been sliced. Your videographer will have time to edit the film in the hours that pass between the entrance of your guests and the screening. This will save you the trouble of having to re-seat your guests, and the screening can be a great way to end the dinner, speeches, and dessert before the guests hit the dance floor. It will make a more lasting impression and give you and your guest plenty of time to enjoy your reception. It is worth investing in a videography package that includes a same-day edited version. This will give you and your guests a tangible memory of your wedding to take home.
