How Long is a Recap + What is Captured on the Big Day

Recap wedding videos captured by Justin Clark on you wedding day.

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and capturing it on film ensures those precious memories are preserved forever. If you’re considering booking a wedding videographer, take the leap! Begin by setting a budget and researching local professionals who align with your style and vision.

Choosing the Right Style and Length

The length and style of your wedding video will largely depend on your preferences and budget. If you’re looking for a short, cinematic keepsake, consider hiring a videographer to capture key moments from the ceremony and reception. These typically result in a 2–5 minute highlight reel.

For couples who dream of a more comprehensive video, capturing everything from the excitement of getting ready to the heartfelt speeches and late-night dancing, plan to set aside a larger budget. This type of coverage involves more extensive filming and detailed post-production, including advanced audio editing and storytelling techniques.

Envisioning Your Wedding Film

When envisioning your wedding film, think about the memories you want to cherish 20 years from now. Would you love to include candid interviews with family and friends sharing heartfelt or humorous memories? Or do you prefer focusing on key moments like the ceremony, your first dance, and the cake cutting?

Discuss your vision with your videographer or photography team to ensure the final product reflects your expectations. Many professionals offer customizable packages, allowing you to tailor the video to include the moments that mean the most to you.
