Video approach

Built around what you can hear

A wedding video depends on clean sound for the vows and toasts. We plan microphone placement and camera positions with you and your officiant before the day.

Planning a video around your timeline

Video coverage follows time, so the plan starts with your schedule. We look for the stretches that cannot be repeated and plan to be in the right place for them.

  • Any part of getting ready you would like recorded, and whether it is private.
  • The ceremony start, location and the length of each part.
  • Speeches, dances and traditions at the reception, in the order you expect.
  • Gaps in the day where a quiet moment can be recorded without interrupting anyone.

Recording vows and speeches clearly

Vows are often quiet, and a camera microphone from the back of a room will not capture them well. We plan separate audio options ahead of time and confirm them with your officiant and venue.

At the reception we check the venue sound system, ask the DJ or band how they will handle microphones, and plan how to record speeches cleanly.

  • Lavalier or clip-on mics

    Placed discreetly on the person speaking, if the officiant and the couple are comfortable with it.

  • Audio from the venue's system

    Where the venue offers a feed, we can ask whether it is usable.

  • Separate recorders near the speaker

    A backup near the officiant or lectern, as a second source.

Edit formats to choose from

Most couples choose one or two edits. Each does a different job, and the options below are things to discuss and confirm in your written quote.

  • Highlight video

    A story-shaped edit that moves through the day with music and selected sound.

  • Ceremony in full

    The whole ceremony, kept uncut and clear, for family who could not attend.

  • Toasts in full

    Each speech as a standalone file, so a speaker can be shared separately.

  • Social clips

    Short vertical clips for sharing with friends.

  • Teaser

    A short preview, if you want something to share early.

Pacing, length and tone

Tell us how you want the video to feel. Some couples want a quiet, documentary look. Others want a faster, music-led edit. A short video leaves room for the strongest moments, while a longer cut gives the day more time to breathe.

We talk about length and style before the day, and agree on what the final edit includes in writing.

Music, licensing and live sound

Songs you love may not be available for use in a video. Music rights vary by song and by where the video is shared. Ask us how music is handled and what is included, and confirm it in your quote.

Live music from your own day, such as a first dance or ceremony song, is part of the video's sound. We can also use licensed or royalty-free tracks for the edit if you prefer.

Shooting in low light and mixed rooms

Receptions are often dim, and ceremonies can change between sun and shade in minutes. We ask what the lighting will be and plan how to cover it.

  • Ask the venue or DJ if lighting will change during dancing.
  • Tell us about candles, projectors or screens that affect the room.
  • Plan dances and speeches in the brightest part of the room when you can.

Screening and sharing your video

Think about how you want to watch it. Some couples want a private link to send family. Others want a file for a screen at home, or a screening with parents.

Ask about file formats, resolution, and how long the files remain available, and confirm what you receive in your written quote.

Dedicated wedding videographers in Connecticut

When you book wedding videography with us, the people recording your day are videographers whose only job is video. They are not asked to photograph at the same time, and a photographer is not asked to record video.

How many videographers we plan is decided by your timeline, your venues and the moments you want recorded. One videographer suits a simple day in one place. A second adds another angle and lets one person stay with the room while the other stays with the couple.

  • Dedicated videographers

    They plan camera positions, microphones and the sound of your vows and toasts, and they stay with the video the whole day.

  • Dedicated photographers

    If you also want photos, photographers join as their own team and plan around the same timeline.

  • Scoped by your timeline

    One or more of each, set by the schedule and locations rather than a fixed formula. We do not promise to film or photograph everything, and we explain what the plan will focus on.

Guest best wishes and interviews alongside event coverage

A guest wishes video lets the people who love you speak to you in their own words. Most of what guests share is heartfelt: how they met you, a memory they have kept, what they see in the two of you, and what they wish for your years ahead. We use gentle, open prompts so guests can answer at their own pace, and a light question can be added if your family wants one.

When guest interviews are recorded alongside event coverage, the plan requires a minimum of two videographers. One focuses on the interviews while the other stays with the ceremony, toasts and dancing. Photographers do not count toward that minimum. Interviews on their own, without event coverage, are scoped differently.

  • A quiet, planned location with decent light and little background noise.
  • A timing window, such as cocktail hour, chosen with you so guests are relaxed.
  • Private guest preferences respected: guests who would rather not be on camera are not asked, and you decide how the interviews are shared.
  • A short list of people you especially want to hear from, plus an open invitation to others.

Optional custom videography deliverables

These are options to discuss, not automatic inclusions. Each one is scoped, confirmed in your written quote and planned into the timeline, and none comes with a fixed price or a guaranteed length here.

  • Guest wishes or video guestbook

    A collection of short guest messages recorded in a quiet corner, delivered as one video or separate clips.

  • Couple and wedding party interviews

    A conversation about your love story and the people standing beside you, recorded before or during the day.

  • Engagement video

    A short video about the two of you before the wedding, planned around a place that matters.

  • Save-the-date video

    A brief announcement video you can share with invitations, planned around your date and tone.

  • Teaser or highlight video

    A shorter edit with the strongest moments, made for sharing, with a longer edit as a separate choice.

  • Documentary ceremony or full speeches

    The ceremony or toasts presented in full, with clean audio, for family who want every word.

  • Rehearsal and welcome events

    Coverage of the rehearsal dinner or a welcome gathering, planned as its own short block of time.

  • Social edits

    Short vertical clips cut for phones, made from the moments you choose to share.

What to ask on the first call

Bring these to the first conversation. The answers shape the coverage and the quote.

  • Whether your venue or officiant allows shooting, and any rules about microphones.
  • Who will speak, and in what order, at the ceremony and reception.
  • Songs for the entrance, first dance and ceremony.
  • What kind of video you imagine: documentary, cinematic, short or long.
  • Which edits you want: highlight, full ceremony, full toasts, social clips.
  • How you plan to watch and share the video.
  • The reception lighting, if you know it.
  • Whether anyone should be left out of the video or shared privately only.

Edit formats and ceremony recordings

A highlight video, a longer edit and a recording of the full ceremony serve different purposes. Choose which formats you want and we confirm them in writing.

Want photos as well?

Portraits and a gallery can be planned alongside the video, so the schedule works for both.

Common questions before you book

Read any of these if it helps. You can send an inquiry about wedding videography at any point without reading anything first.

Questions couples ask

Will you hear our vows?
We plan audio ahead and agree on microphone placement with you and your officiant. Where the ceremony allows it, we aim to record the vows clearly.
Can we use our favorite song?
Sometimes. Music rights vary, so we talk through options and confirm what is used in your written quote.
How long will the video be?
Length depends on the edit you choose. We agree on the format and an approximate length before the day.
Do you use a drone?
Drone footage is an option to discuss. It depends on venue rules and local restrictions, and any drone use goes in the written quote.
Can we see the raw footage?
That is something to ask about and confirm in your quote. Some couples want it, some prefer only finished edits.
Can the video be livestreamed?
Livestreaming is an option to ask about. It needs a stable connection at the venue and is confirmed in writing if offered.

Is your date available?

Tell us your date and venue and we will talk through video, photo or both. We’ll review your details, confirm availability and reply with the next steps. If a call would help, we’ll arrange one.
