Same-sex weddings: a film built around the couple and the people who were really there
Same-sex weddings do not follow a bride and groom template, and the film should not either. Two brides may both walk the aisle, two grooms may get ready together, and the people who matter may be chosen family as much as relatives. WeddingEditor lets you describe the couple, their roles and their people in the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing centers the film on the people, events and traditions that actually happened at that wedding.
For videographers who film LGBTQ+ weddings and want the edit to reflect the couple as they are.
Free to sign up; a purchase or credit is only needed when an edit starts.

Where generic wedding edits go wrong
Templates assume roles
Edits built around a bride's entrance and a groom's reaction can miss two entrances, a shared walk or a couple who skipped the aisle entirely.
Chosen family gets left out
The friends who stood in for family, or the one relative who showed up for them, may matter more than anyone else in the room.
Moments that do not look traditional
A shared getting-ready, a joint first look or a custom ritual may carry the most meaning even though no checklist mentions it.
The fix is to tell the edit who the couple is and what their day was, instead of hoping a template fits. In WeddingEditor, the preference questions take your words: the couple's names, who walked with whom, the people who must appear, the moments that matter and anything to avoid. WeddingEditor's AI editing builds the film around that, without forcing roles onto the footage that were never part of the day. The result is a film the couple recognizes as theirs, where the people who showed up for them are on screen and the moments they chose to include carry the weight they had in the room.
How WeddingEditor supports same-sex weddings
Your notes set the story; the edit follows the wedding that happened.
Describe the couple your way
Use the couple's names and the words they use for themselves when you answer the preference questions.
Name the people who matter
Parents, siblings, chosen family and friends can all be listed as must-include people.
Custom moments count
A shared aisle walk, a joint first look or a ritual the couple invented can be named as a must-include moment.
Vows given room
Personal vows can carry the film when you choose more speeches and voices in the audio approach.

Will the edit assume a bride and a groom?
It should not. Your preference answers describe the couple and their roles, and the film is built around the people and events in that wedding.
How do I describe the couple in the preferences?
Use their names and the words they use for themselves, and say who entered when, who spoke, and any traditions they kept or changed.
Can chosen family be treated like immediate family?
Yes. List them as must-include people and say why they matter, just as you would a parent.
What if some relatives should not feature?
Use the avoid question to say so. WeddingEditor works from your notes and does not decide family matters; the couple does.
Can the vows be the heart of the film?
Yes. Name the vows as a must-include moment and choose more speeches and voices in the audio approach.
Does WeddingEditor share the film anywhere?
No. The edit stays in your project, and you decide what to deliver to the couple.
What if part of the ceremony could not be filmed?
Some venues and officiants limit filming. The edit works with what was captured: the processional, the recessional, reactions, audio and the moments just before and after. It cannot create a moment that was not recorded, so mention any gaps in your notes.
