Our Comprehensive Long Video Editing Process

Long Video Edit - the process

As a general rule, when editing our long video edite are up to 3 hours in duration (some cultural weddings require up to 5 or 6 hrs of edited footage which we can discuss a fee to suit), we aim to create a video that encapsulates the significant moments of your wedding day.

Long Video Edits

3 Videos

Our editing process begins by prioritising the core segments of your day, maintaining a structured order to ensure that we edit the most important moments comprehensively:

Please note that our documentary edit does not include family photo shoots specifically posed for a photography.

Morning Preparations: Your preparations are equally vital. We only edit up to 5 minutes of each prep (Bride Preps and Groom Preps). If you’d like to extend the preps duration to cater for longer cultural traditions there will be an additional edit fee.

Church Ceremony: The heart of your wedding day, we prioritise editing the ceremony itself in its entirety in full. This also includes up to 2 mins of photoshoot moments.

Reception : Covers the following sections.
Reception Entrances in full
All speeches
Cake Cutting + First Bridal Waltz (incl father daughter and/or mother son dances)
Any special performances
Bouquet toss and/or Garter toss, incl farewell tunnel
(we do not capture the final leaving in a car exit)

Reception Dancing Segments: 5 minute montage of english dancing segments (over 1 music track) and the remaining time is the inclusion of traditional cultural dancing segments in chronological order. 

Room for Extension: If you find that you’d like to extend your long video edit to include more moments, i.e. reception cultutal dancing segments, you will need to extend your long video edit. We offer 30-minute increments extensions for $350 per 30 mins.

Let’s talk beats! Here is where we use music in your extended video edit. Please provide us with a list of up to 8 music tracks.

​First, provide 1-2 song choices for your Highlight video. If it’s a 5-minute highlight, then choose 1 song. If it’s an 8  min or more highlight, then select two song tracks

Now for the long video edit; here is the rundown

Morning Preparations: Let’s kick off the day with a song that sets the vibe for those heartwarming moments as you prepare to say, “I do.” We need one track for Bride preps and one for Groom preps.

For the beginning of the Ceremony, we’ll set the scene with a track that captures the anticipation: from the outside and inside views of the church, guests arriving, the groom waiting at the altar, all the way to that heart-fluttering moment just before the bride takes her walk down the aisle. 

End of Ceremony and Photoshoot Moments: Picture-perfect transitions from the ceremony to those cherished first moments as newlyweds, all set to a soul-stirring soundtrack. 

Reception Introduction: Get ready to turn up the excitement with a track that sets the stage for your grand entrance, from highlighting room details to making your big debut.

You can pick your jams or trust us to create a playlist that’s as awesome as your big day. Remember, once the video edit is locked in, additional changes will occur, and an edited fee will be quoted based on the editing time required, so let’s get those music preferences sorted pronto!
