Capturing the Spirit of Your Day

Photographs capture moments — but videography captures the feeling. The laughter, the music, the tears in your dad’s eyes, the joy as you walk out of the temple together — all of it comes alive again every time you press play.

For many Latter-day Saint couples, a wedding video becomes a cherished keepsake not just for the two of you, but for generations who will want to see your story unfold.

Choosing Your Videographer Wisely

Just as with photography, there are many videography companies out there — and not all are created equal.

Some large studios hire multiple videographers and send whoever is available that day. Be sure to ask exactly who will be filming your wedding and take a moment to view their individual work before signing any contracts.

Pro Tip: If possible, meet or video chat with your actual videographer ahead of time. You’ll get a sense of their personality and filming style — and that comfort shows in your final video.

An experienced videographer will be unobtrusive yet attentive, capturing every detail without interrupting your sacred moments.

Main Video Styles

You’ll need to choose the kind of video you’d like:

• Full-length documentary: Covers your entire day, from temple exit to reception highlights.

• Highlight reel: A short, cinematic version that focuses on emotional moments, perfect for sharing online or at family gatherings.

• Storytelling edit: Combines short interviews or recorded vows with candid moments for a deeply personal keepsake.

Ask whether you’ll receive a full-length video, a highlight film, or both — and what’s included in the package price.

Details to Discuss Beforehand

Before booking, clarify:

• Editing time: Some editors may take several weeks to complete your video.

• Format: Will you receive a digital download, USB, or link?

• Soundtrack: Are you allowed to choose your own music, or do they use licensed tracks only?

• Titles and credits: Many couples like to add names, dates, and short messages of thanks — make sure that’s included.

• Extra hours: If your reception runs longer than expected, ask what additional filming time costs and confirm it in writing.

Faith tip: Include a short moment in your video that reflects your spiritual focus — a temple shot or a quiet glance that captures your covenant joy. These become the moments you’ll treasure most later on.

Budget & Wisdom

You don’t need the most expensive package to get a beautiful wedding video. A single skilled videographer with good equipment can create stunning results. Compare styles and values, not just prices.

Average Range: $600–$4,000 depending on coverage, editing, and experience level.
Extra Hours: Typically $35–$150 per hour.

A wedding video isn’t just about seeing what happened — it’s about feeling what it meant. Whether it’s your temple exit, your first dance, or your grandmother’s smile, videography helps you relive the moments that matter most.

Because this day isn’t just a celebration — it’s a covenant. And capturing that joy with care ensures your love story can be remembered, shared, and felt for generations.
