You’ve said your vows and danced until the early hours. Your wedding day may be over, but push those post-wedding blues to one side. You still have the excitement of receiving your wedding video and reliving all those precious moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although it is now thoroughly expected that brides and grooms will hire a photographer to capture their day, fewer employ the services of a videographer. However, the results can be tremendous, and oftentimes a lot easier to share than hundreds of photographs in an album. But, once you’ve decided to have a videographer film your wedding, how long will it take to get the film back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many videographers<\/a> work around the fact that most couples go on honeymoon immediately after their wedding. The average honeymoon period is eight days, but many couples will set aside up to two weeks or more to recover from their wedding antics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, be sure to discuss the time frame and your expectations when booking your videographer. It is important that you and your chosen videographer are on the same page to avoid any confusion or disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With you and your new spouse on honeymoon, your videographer has the perfect opportunity to work on your special video without distraction. We\u2019re all guilty of a little email now and again aren\u2019t we? “How\u2019s the video looking?”, or, “When do you think we\u2019ll receive the final edit?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a good-quality wedding video is a long process with many stages of editing. We have outlined the basic schedule that most videographers will follow when creating your DVD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uploading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the format and amount of your wedding footage, the videographer will very likely spend a portion of the day after your marriage uploading the captured film to their computer. For your peace of mind (and theirs), they will back up all of the content multiple times. Phew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rough cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a process that depends to an extent on the lifestyle of the videographer, or the volume of clients that the videography company has to deal with! Expect a wait of between 2-3 weeks for your rough cut to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorting the wheat from the chaff <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your videographer will break down the footage of the day into several clips. From here, they will sort out what can be used and in what sequence for your final film. It’s a long, thought out process, with attention to detail being key. Put your trust in your videographer and allow them to work their magic. Besides, you booked them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rough cut is a basic edit of your wedding, missing out transitions, complete titles and filters, and most certainly does not represent the final product. The videographer will include the vast majority of the useable sequences captured on the day, which will be narrowed down as they ascertain which clips you want to keep.  Videographers will use these rough cuts as a basis from which to get vital feedback from you. This is a crucial stage, where you must ask yourself a few questions about how you want your wedding video to turn out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
