The Ultimate Guide to Wedding Highlight Videos

Your wedding night will be full of magical moments you’ll never want to forget. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a video allows you to relive those moments as if you were still there.

To clear up exactly what a wedding highlight video is, we’ve put together this guide that explains the ins and outs of the process, results, and pricing. Let’s jump right in!

What is a Wedding Highlight Video?

A wedding video commemorates the most special moments of your wedding day in a way that immortalizes the magic for years to come. From getting ready to walking down the aisle and saying “I do,” your wedding videographer will capture all the moments so you can just live in them.

Creating a highlight video usually involves filming the entire ceremony and reception. Depending on the amount of time the videographer is given, the moments leading up to the ceremony, such as while the couple gets ready, may also be filmed. The entire process involves closely following the couple throughout their wedding day to make sure every important, happy moment is captured.

How are Wedding Highlight Videos Made?

Wedding highlights require the use of high-quality equipment to produce high-quality results. The filming process may involve multiple cameras as well as sound equipment to capture wedding vows or speeches. Trust that your wedding videographer is putting in as much effort as you deserve on your wedding day with all the fancy equipment they’re carrying around.

Once the wedding video is filmed, the editor compiles all the footage and edits it to tell the story of your special day. The editing process usually involves trimming footage, color grading shots, and adding music. A good videographer and editor will spend quite a bit of time making sure the highlight video is perfect and no happy moment is left out.

How Long Should a Wedding Highlight Video Be?

A highlight video should ideally fall anywhere between one to seven minutes. A minute is sufficient for the teaser video, but a full-length wedding video should be up to seven minutes to fully capture the experience. Any longer and it could be difficult to pay attention to as it goes on and on. Short and sweet is the best rule to follow for this project.

How Much Do Wedding Highlight Videos Cost?

The cost of making a wedding video includes the amount of time and labor spent filming, the editing process, the video itself, and travel costs, in some cases. To get a truly special experience and a new family heirloom, you must be willing to spend a reasonable amount for the services of a videographer who can provide all this and more.

Wedding highlight videos can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the amount of wedding day coverage and whether you need additional videographers, hours, or videos. This cost covers all of the labor and deliverables involved in developing your memories into family heirlooms.
