What Goes Into a Wedding Film?

Written By Kalvin Lu

Most people think wedding videography is just showing up and pressing record — but creating a timeless, cinematic film takes so much more.

From planning to post-production, we pour time, skill, creativity, and care into every wedding we film. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into your wedding film — and why it’s one of the most valuable investments on your wedding day.

Pre-Production: The Planning Starts Early

Every film starts long before your big day.

We:

  • Learn about you and your story

  • Review your timeline and vision

  • Coordinate with your planner and photographer

  • Scout locations and prep all gear

This preparation helps us show up ready to capture every detail — seamlessly and stress-free.

The Wedding Day: All About the Details

On the day of your wedding, we’re there for 8–12 hours, filming everything from quiet moments to big emotions.

We use:

  • Multiple cameras and lenses

  • Professional microphones for vows and speeches

  • Discreet lighting for darker venues

  • Drone coverage (if allowed)

  • A calm and experienced team

We’re not just recording — we’re capturing emotion, energy, and real moments that matter.

Post-Production: The Heart of the Work

This is where your story comes to life.

Each wedding film takes 30–60+ hours of editing, including:

  • Syncing multi-camera angles and audio

  • Color grading for a cinematic look

  • Choosing licensed music that fits your vibe

  • Storytelling, pacing, and mood

  • Polishing multiple versions (highlight film, ceremony edit, etc.)

We craft your film with the same attention as a short movie — because your story deserves that care.

The Gear & The Team

Behind the scenes is a team using high-end professional equipment:

  • 4K cinema cameras

  • Drones and lighting kits

  • Wireless audio

  • Redundant backups

  • A team trained to anticipate every moment

This gear — and our experience — ensures we don’t just “get the shot,” we get your story.

Our Style: Experience + Emotion

We’ve been filming weddings for over 5 years. We started as students under one of Sacramento’s top wedding companies, and have grown into a team that values cinematic storytelling with real emotion.

We focus on moments that make you feel something — not just today, but 20 years from now.

Why It’s Worth It

After the party’s over, what’s left?

Your film. It brings everything back — your voices, your vows, your joy.

It’s a keepsake, a legacy, and one of the few things from your wedding day that only gets better with time.
