Post-Wedding Video Editing: What Happens After the Big Day?

Your wedding day has come and gone, and now you're waiting for the magic to unfold in the form of your wedding video. But what happens after the cameras stop rolling? At Starr Photo & Video, we take post-wedding editing seriously.


Here’s an inside look at what goes into our editing process and how you, as a couple, can stay involved from start to finish.

Post-Wedding Video Editing

Post-Wedding Video Editing

After the big day, the editing team at Starr Photo & Video jumps into action. But crafting a wedding video that perfectly reflects the spirit of your day takes time and care. Here's a breakdown of the key steps involved:


1. Organizing Footage

First, all the RAW video footage captured on your wedding day is uploaded, reviewed, and organized. This includes clips from multiple cameras, ensuring every angle and important moment is accounted for. We categorize the footage by key events like the ceremony, speeches, and reception highlights. All RAW video footage will be delivered with your final edited video.


2. Selecting the Best Moments

With hours of footage, not every second will make the final cut. Our team carefully selects the best clips that tell the full story of your day, capturing emotional highlights, candid moments, and all the special details.


3. Sound and Music Editing

Sound plays a crucial role in your wedding video, whether it’s the vows, toasts, or background music. We enhance audio quality and sync it seamlessly with the visuals. Couples also have the opportunity to select licensed music for their wedding video from various music sites we offer.


4. Visual Effects and Color Grading

Once the best clips are assembled, we move into the stage of polishing and enhancing the visuals. This includes adding effects like slow motion, time-lapse, or any stylistic choices to fit the mood. We also color-grade the footage, making sure that each frame has the right brightness, contrast, and tone.


5. Final Review and Edits

After all the elements have been incorporated, we create a first draft. At this stage, the video is reviewed to ensure every detail is just right, from the transitions to the timing of music cues. Only when we are fully satisfied do we move to the next step.



How Long Does It Take?

By contract we promise to deliver wedding videos within 30 days of the wedding day. On average, our couples are getting their videos more within 2-3 weeks. We offer free re-edits after your video is delivered.


How to Stay Involved in the Editing Process

At Starr Photo & Video, we believe that couples should have a hand in how their video turns out. Here’s how you can stay involved and ensure the final product aligns with your vision:


1. Choosing Your Music

We give couples the freedom to choose their own music for the video. After your wedding day, you’ll receive access to a variety of licensed music options. Feel free to pick songs that reflect the mood you want, whether it’s romantic, upbeat, or a mix of styles.


2. Can Ask For Updates at Any Time

You can email or text us at any time to ask for the status of your wedding video.


3. Requesting Edits

Need some changes? We offer a round of revisions to make sure you’re happy with the final cut. Our team works with you to ensure the video is a perfect reflection of your wedding day, and we’re committed to making adjustments that align with your preferences.


4. Receiving the RAW Footage

Along with the final edited video, we also provide you with all the RAW footage captured on your wedding day. This allows you to revisit every moment, even those that didn’t make the final cut.



Conclusion

At Starr Photo & Video, we’re committed to creating wedding videos that couples can smile and enjoy for many years. Our Post-Wedding Video Editing ensures every important moment is captured and enhanced, while our client-focused approach allows you to stay involved in the creation of your video. We believe that collaboration is key to delivering a product that reflects your love story.
