The Perfect Middle Ground*
Why Highlight films Are Ideal for most Couples
Not to be confused with 35mm film
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, and preserving those memories is essential. While traditional full-length wedding videos have long been the go-to choice, more couples are discovering the magic of wedding highlight films. These short, beautifully crafted films offer the perfect balance of emotion, artistry, and storytelling, making them an ideal choice for couples who want to relive their special day without the commitment of a lengthy video.
Many couples find themselves torn between the desire for a wedding video and the practicality of what they will actually watch. While a full-length video can be lovely, it often ends up sitting unwatched due to its length. A highlight wedding film, however, distills the essence of your day into a cinematic 3-5 minute story. It can include all the most significant moments: your vows, laughter with friends, the first dance, and those candid, fleeting emotions that make your day unique.
Highlight films are not just easier to revisit; they’re also perfect for sharing with friends and family. It’s a modern solution that still delivers a deeply personal and emotional keepsake.
These films are also perfect for couples who value a blend of photography and video without the need to hire a full videography team. With our dual approach, you get the best of both worlds: stunning wedding photos and a cinematic keepsake that you’ll cherish forever.
How the Process Works
Two Photographers, Dual Roles: On your wedding day, I take on the role of primary photographer, capturing still photos while also gathering key video moments. Meanwhile, my second photographer focuses on video, using a Sony FX3 cinema camera used in run-and gun style Hollywood production to ensure your heartfelt emotions are beautifully captured. Together, we work seamlessly to create a balanced and comprehensive visual story, coordinating our roles dynamically throughout the day to deliver a complete visual narrative. We are each others primary and secondary shooters throughout the day.
Highlight Film addon
Starting in 2025, we’re thrilled to offer wedding highlight videos as an add-on to our full wedding day photography package.
Highlight films will include:
- 3-5 minute montage style video set to music
- Optional overlay audio of your vows and speeches
Whether you’re envisioning a romantic, heartfelt revisit of your day or one filled with laughter and celebration, we’re here to bring your story to life. Let’s create something unforgettable together!
*While wedding highlight films are a beautiful way to relive your special day, they don’t replace a full videography team and traditional long-form wedding film. A highlight style video provides an artistic summary of the day but doesn’t include extended coverage of full ceremonies, speeches, or dances. Couples who desire a more comprehensive coverage may still benefit from a traditional full-length wedding video alongside their highlight film.
Warning: may cause uncontrollable tears and nostalgia. Consume with sufficient tissues
