# 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.

With WeddingEditor, use the optional preference questions to name the people and must-include moments that guide the AI edit of your Highlight Reel.
