Every word of the ceremony and speeches, kept
The highlights film is the one you share. The documentary edit is the one you watch on your anniversary: the vows, the readings and the speeches exactly as they happened, from two angles, with the sound you could not hear from the back row.
A documentary edit is not raw footage. We cut between the two ceremony cameras so you see the reading and the reaction, clean up the audio so the coughs and chair scrapes drop away, and grade it to match the highlights. The ceremony arrives as one film, typically 20 to 40 minutes, and each speech as its own chapter so you can send your best man his.
The speeches are where this edit earns its place. People say things at weddings they will never say again, and from the top table it is often hard to hear them. Our microphone is on the speaker or on the DJ desk, so the version you get is the version the speaker meant.
This edit is sold with the highlights film as a package of up to ten hours, which comfortably covers a ceremony before lunch and speeches after dinner. On a two-filmmaker booking it is included as standard.
FAQ
Questions about full-day documentary edit
How long will the ceremony film be?
As long as the ceremony. A civil ceremony usually runs 20 to 30 minutes; a church or nikah ceremony can be longer. We cut nothing out except the pauses before you walked in.
Do you film the whole reception too?
We film throughout the hours booked, and the highlights film draws on all of it. The documentary edit covers the ceremony and speeches in full; a continuous reception edit is rarely watched, so we do not sell one, but raw footage is available as an add-on if you want everything.
What if the speeches have no microphone?
We bring our own. A small recorder on the speaker or a microphone on a stand in front of them gives us clean audio even in a marquee with no PA.
