✨ Explore the various videography styles below — and find the perfect one for your big day.

🎬 1. Cinematic Style

Best for: Dramatic storytelling lovers, film buffs, or those who want to feel like their day belongs on the big screen.

This style uses slow-motion, drone footage, artistic angles, and emotional music to create a movie-like highlight reel of your day. It’s edited to emphasize mood and beauty over strict timelines.

Think: sweeping aerials of your venue, golden hour kisses, and teary-eyed vow readings backed by a swelling soundtrack.

📽️ 2. Wes Anderson-Inspired Style

Best for: Couples who want quirky, colorful, visually stylized videos that stand out.

This viral favorite mimics the symmetry and storybook charm of Wes Anderson films like Moonrise Kingdom or The Grand Budapest Hotel. Expect whimsical music, pastel color palettes, vintage aesthetics, and perfectly framed shots.

It’s not just a wedding video — it’s a stylized short film bursting with character and charm.

💡 3. Editorial or Fashion Film Style

Best for: Modern couples with a high-glam, minimalist edge.

Think Vogue wedding meets art film. This style features moody lighting, soft focus, stylized poses, and ultra-chic transitions. It's less about narration and more about aesthetic — a dream for city weddings, black-tie affairs, or high-fashion brides.

🎥 4. Documentary Style

Best for: Sentimental couples who want their day told authentically from start to finish.

Unlike highlight reels, this style captures your full wedding in real time — from hair and makeup to the last dance. You'll hear raw audio, laughter during toasts, whispers before vows, and genuine reactions.

It’s exactly how Christian and Stephanie’s elopement was filmed — real, emotional, and true to the moment.

📱 5. Social Media Edits & Teasers

Best for: Couples who want fast, shareable content.

These short-form videos are designed for Instagram, TikTok, or your wedding website. They include trendy transitions, upbeat music, and behind-the-scenes moments — often delivered just days after your wedding.

Great for giving your followers a first glimpse while the joy is still fresh.

❤️ 6. Love Story Interviews

Best for: Romantic souls who want to add personal narrative.

Some videographers will record interviews with you before or during the wedding — capturing your love story, proposal, favorite things about each other, and dreams for the future.

It’s a heartfelt way to add depth and intimacy to your film.

🕊️ 7. Vintage or Super 8 Style

Best for: Old souls and lovers of nostalgia.

Shot on actual Super 8 film (or with filters that mimic the look), this grainy, dreamy style feels like it was plucked out of a memory box. It's perfect for garden weddings, boho elopements, or couples who love timeless charm.

Full Ceremony Film – The complete vows, readings, and “I dos.”

Instagram Teaser/Reel – 30–60 seconds of magic to share right away.
Raw Footage – All the unedited moments you may want later.
Drone Footage – Aerial shots of your venue or setting.
Second Shooter – Extra angles and more behind-the-scenes coverage.
