What should a wedding highlight video include?
A wedding highlight video usually includes getting ready, the walk down the aisle, the vows and rings, the speeches, the first dance and family reactions. The best ones feel like a story, not a list.
Cut ruthlessly: if a clip can come out and the story still works, it probably should. Location shots help set the scene.
