Save the date videos
Save the date video production in Connecticut
A short video that tells your guests the date, in your own voices and your own style, sized to be shared on a phone.
What a save the date video is
A save the date video is a short announcement of your wedding date. Instead of a card alone, guests see and hear the two of you, along with the date and the place. It is easy to share by text, email or on your wedding website.
It can be funny, quiet, cinematic or simple. The style should feel like you.
Planning it around your timeline
A save the date usually goes out many months before the wedding, so we start by working back from that date. Tell us when you want to send it and how you want guests to see it.
When it goes out
The send date decides when we record and how long editing takes.
Where guests will watch
A text message, email, wedding website or social post, each of which suits a different shape and length.
What it must include
The date, the place or region, and anything guests need to do, such as booking travel.
The tone
Playful, warm, formal or somewhere between.
Questions before you decide?
Share your wedding date and your send date, and we will plan the video.
Recording it with an engagement session
Many couples record their save the date video on the same day as an engagement film or photo session. That saves time and means you have a consistent look across all of it. We can plan a short portion of the session specifically for the announcement.
Formats for sharing
Because most guests will watch on a phone, we talk about vertical and square versions as well as a standard horizontal one. We confirm the formats and length with you before recording.
How it connects to the wedding
A save the date video is the first piece of what can become a larger set: an engagement film, a wedding day film and photos. You do not need to book all of it. Some couples book only the announcement.
